LIFE LESSONS
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the
right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know
how to be grateful for that gift.
When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times
we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one that has
been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and
swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the
best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but
it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it
arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll
love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in
their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes
only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a
day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even
that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes
only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes
your heart smile.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you
just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you
want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the
things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to
make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make
you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably
hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of
everything; they just make the most of everything that comes their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have
searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the
importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a
smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will
always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until
you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was
smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is
smiling and everyone around you is crying.
