from my journal: 5 lessons I need to keep in mind.

Sunday, May 29, 2011

• You cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved.

• 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. 

• You shouldn't compare yourself to the best that others can do. 

• You can keep going long after you think you can't. 

• Either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I was flipping through my old journal the other day and found this list. So glad I did because all of these are applicable to me right now (and probably always will be!). 

The only thing I think I'd add is about the first point -- "All you can do is be someone who can be loved." You are already someone who can be loved. You don't have to change or do anything.
