I have learned..

Life is always about learning. I feel that the moment one stops learning, one stops living. I have been trying to capture what I learned so far in my life. Obviously there is no end to it and I am still learning. Here are a few.

I have learned that

1. life's most beautiful gifts are most often the smallest.
2. you cannot make some one love you, all you can do is make yourself some one who can be loved
3. no matter how much you care for a person, the person need not reciprocate. But you still have to go on caring because that is what you truly want to do.
   
4. it takes a long time to build trust and love, but it takes only a few seconds to decimate them.
5. if you stop to count the good deeds you have done, you would have nothing remaining to count.
6. it is best to let your loved ones know that you love and care, because you never know whether or when you would get a chance to tell them so.
7. there is nothing you need to fear but the doubts about your own capability
8. there is nothing that is not worthy of you. Every task you do is worth doing because He deemed so.
9. there is no point in life you are alone. You are just too engrossed in yourself to look around.
10. you need to be brave, not for the sake of being brave, but because you believe in whatever you are up to and need to stand up for it.
11. no matter how convincing an argument sounds, there is always another side that you need to hear
12. no matter how good a friend is, there will always be instances you will get hurt by him or her. But you got to accept that because you accepted the friend as a whole not just the good side of him or her.
    
13. it is so easy to forgive others and perhaps, easy to be forgiven by others, but so hard to forgive yourself
14. there is no end to understanding a person. The moment you stop understanding, the relation stops being progressive.
    
15. simplicity is mistaken as outward simplicity which is easier to achieve and perceive. Th simplicity of the mind is what is more beautiful and harder to perceive
16. you don't go about looking for a "perfect" time to do something that is right, the time is perfect whenever you do whatever you wanted to do.
    
17. you can dwell on the past and understand the meaning, but you have live life forwards not backwards
18. some times there seems to be no point in going through painful moments, but we are definitely not the ones to judge the usefulness of pain.
19. you are always capable of giving, it is simply a choice you have to make.
20. you are the only one responsible for what you have become.
21. you can either continue to wane in your grief or shrug it all and rise to a new day. The world is not going to stop for you to get over your grief.
22. there is no "right" way to look at things. You can only look the way that feels right to you.
23. hardest thing to achieve is being honest with yourself and being kind to yourself. Both will carry you longer than you can possibly imagine.
24. there is always place in your heart to love someone. You need not pack people in.
25. love sets you free and does not bind you in chains. Possessiveness is not a part of love.
26. all things you see affect you. You only don't realize it because you have a squelcher at work.
    
27. people have the toughest time understanding the most simple thing because they can't believe that things are as simple as they are.
28. that learning always continues.....................
