How forgiveness cleans up so much anger, hurt and opens doors you can't get open.

Sometimes I think no matter how often I get beaten over the head with the obvious big stick..I just never learn!

The trouble is..I trust people too easily.. and it never fails to sideswipe me...

Despite what we see in the world today, love is still the answer.

Don’t take what you have for granted. Treasure every moment with those you love, because they could be gone in an instant.

Believe that the good you do today will come back to you down the road. Even if this rings untrue, I still think it's the right mindset to have...to live your life by.

I think learning to be resourceful is one of the most important life lessons. Our lives are a forever changing dynamic, you need to constantly adapt and overcome challenges to be successful.

While not sure it is my most important 'lesson', i come at this from the other side---
i have, even when i was struggling single Mom considered it important to do what i can for others where i am with what i have and that as long as i make sure basics are there for my family, including any 'pets', any windfalls i get are to be shared.

But to support your side of it i can tell you every time i gave to others tho leaving me low on cash till payday--within 3 days i'd get some kind of compensating good i wasn't expecting. A promotion, bonus--chance to earn a little extra. Or someone would be trying to get rid of something i could use and wanted no cash just to have it no longer take up space in their home. Usually this happened within 3-5 days. Sometimes (maybe twice out of dozens of times i gave when sometime asked for a 'loan') i'd actually get paid back. But more often what i received came from elseqhere.

Much more than most people realize. i've been lucky to learn a few times how something i said or did had been useful, beneficial for someone else. Usually long after i did/said whatever. That was enough to continue with my usual habits.
