Are you a listener? Someone who doesn't always have to have something to say, yet learns so much just from listening?
This is me! Ooops, let me do a U-turn on that statement......I like to listen, and I LOVE to talk! The other day, I heard someone say that they are "learning to be content".....this got me to thinking! I'm now 49 and holding, and just what is it that I have learned in life? Here are just a few of the things that I have learned.... *With God on my side, I am victorious..... *Be yourself....don't worry about keeping up with the Jones' *Not everybody cares! Just because I care, doesn't mean others are going to care too! *Don't compare yourself to others....be Yourself! *It takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it! *Simple things are usually BEST! *You can't make someone love you....you just have to be a person that can be loved. * When you take time to stop and smell the roses, you learn to appreciate life. * We can choose to control our attitude or our attitude will control us! * You are only as old as you feel! I feel young! * I don't want to hunt gators for a living. * I love to write. * Never say you won't do something...because you don't know what the future holds. * I can lean on the Lord. * It's nice to feel my heart beat when I smile. * Don't use the past to judge. * I have the best friends in the world. * I have much more to learn. Enjoy your day! Shug |

all wonderful words to live by - I'm 55 Shug, and I have learned alot of these things, too! Thanks for posting these today! Gives me something to think about... to think about what I have learned, too...
ReplyDeleteLIfe is a constant learning. Many of those things are ones I have learned as well and I'm working on some of the others. Oh to be more of a listener.
ReplyDeleteI'm learning to listen. I think I get tired of talking and bored with just my opinion. I like to hear what others have to say and love to argue with a liberal or an atheist! :)

Great list. I love your optimism and love of life. I'm more of a quiet, reflective person and feel I am judged more negatively because of it. My husband says he enjoys that I'm not much of a talker. But he's not either, so it can get a little boring at the dinner table. Anyway, I wish I was more vivacious and outgoing (like you), but that is not the way I'm made, so I just need to accept it.
ReplyDeleteYour biggest message is Be Yourself and Love yourself as you are, with God's Help...
ReplyDeleteThese days (since I am older), I have learned to work MUCH harder on my weight and health than I did when I was younger..
I have also learned not to sweat the little things. I was a perfectionist --or tried to be, and now I am much more relaxed and don't worry so much about things..
Hugs,

I like "Never say you won't do something...because you don't know what the future holds" I have repeated that statement many times to my children. My daughter told me just a few weeks ago she now understands why I live by this statement. My mom would say you will eat your words one day. I think it meaning is about the same. Thanks for sharing today.
