my life lessons in 10 days

if you are a believer you would by now have learnt that from the whole art of creation, the one thing God the creator granted to humanity with no condition was the gift of free will, this means that man as a unique creation has the ability to chose between wrong and right good and bad light and dark, and has the ability to love and be loved. As a result man has also been given the ability to handle certain pains in his life.

but it is very evident that man has always failed in that area that he has been granted full dominion and authority, but i can say from searching around and recent experiences it is safe to conclude that i have then learnt the following

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. this sounds so easily said but mostly hard to practice, because when one gives up their heart and expects love in return anything less than anticipated could be heart breaking and certainly de-motivating :(

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back and there is nothing you can do to get their care back until they are ready to care, this could take days months years or could just never happen

I've learned that it takes months or years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it. this particularly hurts as all great memories and moments are all forgotten in a single act

I've learned that you can get by on charm for about 15 minutes. After that, you'd better know something.

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best you can do, and if someone doesnt love you for it, then they are not worth your time and no matter how much its gonna hurt letting them go its better to feel the once in a life pain than everyday pain.

I've learned that it's not what happens to people that's important. It's what they do about it.

I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides.

I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. but may take internity for the person i wanna be with to realize who i really am.

I've learned that it's a lot easier to react than it is to think.

I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. cause just like a coin it can flip on you, they could die, in the case of my mother, or things could just change

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

i've learnt that its not about how you fall but, how long it takes you to get up, and with some really good friends (Lauren) it might take you less time to get up than it took you to hit the ground (i love you Lauren)

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. so a heart break is mostly a result of our decisions and the heart break its self is a big decision that we make.

I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you. but trust me if it controls you then my friend you are in trouble.

I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place. (Amen to that!)

I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences, and that heroes are those who are never honored as their actions are not seen and recognized for their ability to detect and solution a problem before anyone.

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 that you should never tell a child her dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if she believed it

I've learned that your family won't always be there for you. It may seem funny, but people you aren't related to can take care of you and love you and teach you to trust people again. Families aren't biological.

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

I've learned that sometimes when my friends fight, I'm forced to choose sides even when I don't want to.

I've learnt that i am still in love with you.

in conclusion loving is one thing that you can never say that you know, and there are no experts to heartbreaks and no masters of seduction, one does not fall in love as falling usually is associated with getting hurt in the long run, love is not a feeling that one discovers but its an atmosphere that one creates due to what the expect to achieve and get in return and on the backside, one grows in love just as everything that makes reference to growth boasts a good foundation.

remember “If you really love something set it free. If it comes back it’s yours, if not it wasn’t meant to be.”
