High school seemed so epic but really nothing that was important there is important in the real world. The most popular people didn't end up better off and their opinion doesn't matter.
Whoever said "sticks and stone may break my bones but words will never hurt me"-LIED. Words are powerful and can be very painful. I have seen them destroy others.
Life is not fair. A guy who shoots a ball in a net gets paid millions while a teacher who shapes the minds of the future makes just above poverty level. Husbands leave, children get sick, loved ones die, but we must go on, picking up the pieces after we have been torn apart.
Most people don't want to be held accountable for their words or actions. The person in the mirror can be painful to deal with.
Character Counts. Really. Doing what is right is still right even if no one else is doing it.
Choices matter. Doing what is wrong it still wrong even if everybody else is doing it.
Most people have superficial relationships because it is easier. To go deeper requires a lot of hard work and investment.
Money doesn't make you happy but it sure can be a lot of fun to have and it does hide the pain for a while.
We are so bored with our own lives we sit in front of the TV and watch reality shows about crazy people.
Real friends are hard to find. The ones who not only hold your hand but hold you up when the storms of life try to take you down.
The potential of evil resides in all of us. So much depends on whom we let form our character.
People are constantly trying to fill the emptiness inside, the void, with anything and everything.
The world is full of suffering and we Americans often turn a blind eye and just change the channel.
I have learned that FAITH can move mountains, LOVE can heal deep wounds, KINDNESS goes a long way, LAUGHTER warms the heart, one person can make a difference, and true FRIENDSHIP is a treasure to hold on to. I have learned to count my BLESSINGS every day and be THANKFUL for all the good in my life.
But most importantly I have learned that no matter what GOD created me to be one of His masterpieces and His love will never fail. He keeps His promises and surrounds me with His mercy and grace. He numbered the hairs on my head and no tear that I have shed has gone unnoticed.
"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
1 John 4:4
