Little things I ve learned

You re supposed to learn in life .... Some people never do ... Some do it faster some get burned a few times before getting it .... I d love to say ( or think at least) that I m a fast learner .... Hmmmm not really .... I take my time ... I do everything in my own time, acting like I m gonna live three lives ... Forgetting I m given only one and I don t even know how long this one is .... Like everybody else .   Funny but isn t this the beauty of life ?  What fun would life be if we would know when it ends ....
There are those people who learn from others ... Don t need to get burned themselves necesarily ...
I am not one of them .... I get excited and once something gets my interest I go for it with no fear .... I learn after ... Needless to say I have suffered.   But we can t be saved from our innate nature.  We are what we are .... The efforts we take against our nature, they are mostly to blame for the unhappiness we experience ... When we embrace what we are, unfazed by what others expect of us , thats when we get closer to peace ... And peace IS happiness.

We have two lives... the life we learn with and the life we live after that. Suffering is what brings us towards happiness.

We think too much about dying , about stuff and money, anyway ... We plan for the future so much that we miss the present ....as Einstein says , we should not think too much about the future , " It comes soon enough".  
A saying I love and I live by is " The beginning is always today" by Mary Wollstonecraft.  Forget quick and forgive yourself , so that you can start fresh.  Understand that against all mistakes you ve 
done, the present moment is your chance to start fresh , your " present" to you to make it once again. 
 Forgive others too.  The best revenge is moving on and keep on smiling.  The only person you need to prove something is yourself 

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;

Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
