That we don't have to change friends if we understand
That friends change.
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
That true friendship continues to grow, even
Over the longest distance
Same goes for true love
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.
That it's taking me a long time to become
The person I want to be.
That you should always leave
Loved ones with loving words. It may be the
Last time you see them.
That you can keep going
Long after you can't.
That we are responsible for what we do,
No matter how we feel.
That either you control your attitude
Or it controls you.
Those heroes are the people who do what has
To be done when it needs to be done,
Regardless of the consequences
That money is a lousy way
Of keeping score
That sometimes the people you expect to
Kick you when you're down will be
The ones to help you get backup
That sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be angry, but
That doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
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.
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.
That it isn't always enough to be
Forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to
Learn to forgive yourself.
That no matter how bad your heart is broken
The world doesn't stop for your grief.
That our background and circumstances
May have influenced who we are, but we
Are responsible for who we become.
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.
That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret,
It could change your life forever.
That two people can look at the
Exact same thing and see something
Totally...different.
That your life can be changed
In a matter of hours
By people who don't even know you.
That evens when you think you
Have no more to give,
When a friend cries out to you
You will find the strength to help.
Those credentials on the wall do not
Make you a decent human being.
That the people you care
About most in life
Are taken from you too soon.
