Top 12 Lessons Learned in 2012
1. You can fall in love instantly. It can happen on the dirtiest part of
Sixth Street or in the parking lot of an auto shop. This love will forever change your heart. You’ll see the world differently. You’ll feel yourself grow into someone
you’ve not even realized you could be.
2. Life can be taken at any moment. Hug fiercely those who matter most to
you, tell them you love them, that they mean something to you, that they’ve
left a mark on your heart, on your soul - for you never know when they’ll be gone.
3. How it was, only matters if you’re still who you
were. If you’ve grown, look
ahead. Appreciate what was, and
smile at will be.
4. Friendships change and evolve. Some will leave when the friendship you
share with them isn’t serving one or both of you. Sometimes you’ll find yourself re-connected with them. Some stay for it all. All of them matter.
5. It’s ok to live in the moment. And that last minute flight to Vegas
might be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made.
6. It’s never too late to forgive -to forgive
others, to forgive yourself.
Forgiveness creates a space inside of you where great things are bound
to be drawn into.
7. I have a lot of favorite people. Some of them live close, many live in
other states, some on other continents.
We don’t talk every day.
Sometimes years span between the time we see one another. But each time, with each of these
people it’s as if a moment hasn’t passed.
Each time my heart is overwhelmed by their friendship and love.
8. It’s ok to make a stand for your happiness – if
you don’t, no one else will. Treat
yourself the way you treat others.
9. Take care of yourself. Eat well.
Exercise. Love freely and
fiercely. Take time for yourself
to do the things you love.
Run. Read. Learn.
10. Surprise
someone. It makes your heart
happy.
11. Aim
to see the world, people and your day through the eyes of a puppy.
12. Be
open. To people. To ideas. You’ll be surprised at what you see,
learn and become when you’re open.
