I was sent an email this morning that really struck a chord with me. In it, the author shared a litany of lessons that he/she had gathered along life’s journey. Not wanting to miss an opportunity to foster positive dialogue among the members of the Fly Guy community, I decided to use parts of the email as a discussion starter. After reading the piece, take the time to answer the question that follows.
I’ve learned
that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
I’ve learned
that no matter how much I care, some people just don’t care back.
I’ve learned
that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
I’ve learned
that it’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.
I’ve learned
that you should never ruin an apology with an excuse.
I’ve learned
that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I’ve learned
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.
I’ve learned
that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn’t stop for your grief.
I’ve learned
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.
Fly Question of the Day: What have you learned?
(Fly Request: I’ve only requested once before that everyone respond, but today I’m coming with a similar request. I think it’s very important to understand what you’ve learned, and how you can apply those relational lessons to life moving forward. So take the next 20 seconds and share with me what you’ve learned. You’ll be amazed at how freeing this process can be.)
