You can’t know what you don’t know till you know it.
Don’t assume, Nor expect, Trust but Verify.
Don’t believe another’s lies.
.
Until you’ve walked a mile in one’s shoes you don’t know what you wouldn’t do.
.
Give the benefit of the doubt when it counts. When it becomes a pattern stop counting. You can expect the unexpected when it’s consistent.
.
Love with all your heart but don’t give someone your heart. You never get it back in good condition.
.
Be strong like a rock with your values, but let them sink like stone as your own. If you wouldn’t throw your valuables onto another, why would these be any different?
.
Don’t give reciprocity freely, they are not the same. A true gift needn’t be mentioned again.
.
Don’t let your past determine your future. Don’t let your future rewrite your past. What you are today is different than you were before, 10 years from now you still won’t be the same. So don’t write condemnations in stone.
.
To carry them through the test of time you’ll find they pull you down a path of shame; Unnecessary pain, for yourself or the ones you love along the way.
.
Learn from your mistakes, don’t let others’ mistakes teach you. How they treat you determines their fate, not yours.
.
Always trust your intuition, but don’t act on what it triggers. It’s a fine line between the two and learning the difference can prevent future steps in the past.
.
Forgive. Don’t forget.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, Run.
.
Guard your soul. Build tall walls made of windows.
Let the light in and don’t make rooms for secrets.
Secrets are never content in the space you give them.
.
Ask for help when you need it. Try not to need it.
.
Help others when you can, but only ‘Help till it helps, not till it hurts.’
.
When receiving in any relationship, keep in mind that
“What they’ll do for you they will do to you.”
Choose your partnerships wisely.
.
Remember that secrets are not your friends. The more people you let in, the bigger they get. The bigger they get, the harder to hide. Eventually all secrets come to light.
.
Don’t make room in your life for secrets.
