I’ve learned that it’s true: whatever doesn’t kill you…
““I’ve learned that it’s true: whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and may be the best thing that ever happens to you. Don’t try to avoid the hard choice or the painful thing, let it in and let it work its magic. “I’ve learned that the opinions of people you value the most, who you look up to and wish would notice you, are never more important that what you think of yourself. Be careful with those thoughts. “I’ve also learned that you need to forgive people who have harmed you. If you don’t forgive them, you end up hating them, and that just takes up way too much space in your soul – space that can be filled with joy. Let it go. “Finally, every so often we all should look deep within ourselves and ask if we are who we truly want to be. If not, then we have to change. We have to become the people we were meant to be.””
