What I Learned

This is a email I received from a friend of mine, ..........almost all of it sounds so true.



I've learned that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I've learned that 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.

I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. The same goes for true love.

I've learned that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I've learned that you can keep going long after you can't.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I've learned that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I've learned that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

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 maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them, and less to do with how many years you have lived.

I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop

The Journey that Chose Me!

Somebody said "You choose some journeys and some journeys chooses you"........that's quite true, we all choose what we want do,........ we make our choices......but still life or destiny or whatever u call it has already chosen the path for us to walk.
The sharp turns on this journey cannot be foreseen. U may be headed in one direction and very next second u realise your whole purpose for living has changed and u are headed somewhere else.
There are no guide books written on how to handle all these changes and if u don't take care of yourself and be prepared it can lead to depression , frustration and lot of other bad things........
My father had always been my guide whenever my life took any bad turn......... helping in his own way. I think his philosophy was not give food to the hungry but teach him how to feed himself.That has always prepared me take anything head on.
But recently my life took such bad turn that nothing could get it back on track.
Not even my Father..........as it was him.....he was gone forever. after battling with leukemia for over 3 months.
this was my biggest loss ....... void which can never b filled.
it is something i never expected to happen to him, as I had never seen him seriously ill or weak throughout my life!
The day it was tested positive for cancer till the day he was freed from his suffering have been the toughest......and even more tough for my mom who was with him day and night !
they were filled with pain ......Hope.....Confusion
I learned very important secret of life, U may live or die the Very next moment ........nothing maters........ how much money and material wealth you have never gives u any satisfaction .......only people and relationship are the biggest wealth and nobody can take that way from you.....and if you have right life partner even in those most troubled times you always have the desire to survive.
My father was rich in these two things........ I was touched and greatly indebted by the all the selfless help by all his friends ,our relatives and the doctors.
But nothing can stop what had to happen.......n I have to move on the journey which has chosen me!
