I Have Learned
By Marc Reister Altares • January 25, 2016
I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, friends and to your special someone, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone,people love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did but people will never forget how you made them feel, and I've learned that sometimes we need someone to simply be there, not to fix! anything or to do something in particular or else,but just to let us feel that we are cared for and supported.
Sometimes, I'm disappointed in myself, I get lost inside my mind, and pretend that I'm okay. When I think those things happened to me, I felt hopeless, I felt that I'm giving up, but there's a reason inside my heart that always reminds me,that I'm STRONG, that I can stand up again, be myself, think positive, never give up, stay strong, and the word that is always in my heart, the word TRUST that never be forgotten. Honestly, when I'm so upset, I shut myself down, I have no motivation for everything, I tell myself that nobody cares for me, even though I know someone do, they are lot. I think about all the negative things I could possibly think of. I give myself all the pain, thinking I deserve it, I'm not so sure why I do that, but that's why I feel. The feeling that you are necessarily sad, but you just feel that your so empty. But I know, in my self, in my mind, and in my heart, all of these is just a challenge. God gave this to you, he challenge you, how strong you are, he knows that you can, because GOD always give a lock with a key, God give a problem with an answer, all you have to do is TRUST on him, and to everyone that giving you inspiration in everything you do.
There's a quote that says: "Don't become the Prisoner of your Past, be the Architect of your Present."
No matter how hard is your past, you can always begin again. I know, that when you believe that you can, how hard or difficult is it, you will.
