Everyone's Got Philosophy

Remember, there are no mistakes...
Only lessons. Love yourself...
Trust your choices & everything is possible!!!
{Cherie Carter-Scott}

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to them.

I've learned that no matter how much i care...
Some people just don't care back.

I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you...
The way you want them to doesn't mean they don't...
Love you with all they have.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only...
Seconds to destroy it.

I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but...
Whom you have in your life that counts.

I've learned that our background and circumstances may...
Have influenced who we are, but we are responsible...
For who we become.

I've learned that you either control your attitude or it controls you.

I've learned that sometimes when i'm angry i have the right...
To be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of...
Experiences you've had and what you've learned from them...
And less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

{I've learned to embrace my inner dork}

I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing...
And see something totally different.

I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going...
To hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean...
They don't love each other. And, just because they don't argue...
It doesn't mean they do.

I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken...
The world doesn't stop for your grief.

I've learned that no matter how you try to protect your children...
They will eventually get hurt, and you will hurt in the process.

I've learned that you should never tell a child their dreams are...
Unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what...
A tragedy it would be if they believed it.

I've learned that heroes are people who do what has to be done...
When it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I've learned that you can keep going long after you can't.

Ela said...

Lessons to live by!
My fave right now, the one about being angry. I know that we can't control what people do or how it makes us feel, but we can control our reactions to it...and we never have to be cruel about it.

Love the glasses on you!

Micaela said...

first, i love those red glasses!!!!

and my best friend told me that exact quote when i decided to move and was still scared to take the jump. She said there are no mistakes... only lessons.

it was exactly what i needed to hear.
