I've learned that ....
- you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is "to be someone who can be loved". The rest is up to her...
- it's not "what" you have in your life, but "who" you have in your life that counts.
- it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.... and I'm still a 'work-in-progress' improved daily by the Spirit of God
- I would always leave loved ones with loving words...... It might be the last time I see them... (God forbids...)
- 'learning to forgive' takes practice.
- I can't say: "I'm sorry"..... "Please forgive me..?", whilst I'm still full-of-Pride
- 'In Brokenness', is the only way to be able to surrender my pride & be able to sit at the 'Feet of Jesus...'
- amounts of money on a 'Balance Sheet' is a lousy way of keeping score & assess the 'true value' of a person 'behind the eyes'.
- my "best friend" I would like to have as my wife..
- I can do anything or nothing, with my 'best friend' and have the best time.
- true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Does the same goes for True Love...?
- 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.
- 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 birthdays you've celebrated.
- it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others......;sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself!
- our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
- two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different; jy kyk met 'skrefies-ogies' & ek met 'ronne ooge'.
- credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being....
Which Lessons have you learned lately...?

Thank you! You're great! "Pragtige ogies..." These are amazing insights and I completely agree. How do you like this one: It's OK to be mad at your ex, and then let that anger (and her) go in peace. Nobody can "fix" a relationship from one side, and it is very hard to let go of that person you've loved for so many years. Because you can't love her any more (she won't let you) that feeling turns to hurt and anger which you direct against yourself because you would never want to hurt her (that's not your style). Maybe it is time to stop hurting yourself by over-analyzing what went wrong and how you could have prevented the split. What happened, happened. It is very sad, but now it is time to pick yourself up again, remember what a fabulous and worthy person you are, and put the bad stuff behind you. See what you can salvage and work on that, but let the hurt and the anger (and especially the self-blame)go. We are not supposed to second-guess God. He knows what He is doing, and who knows what wonderful rewards he has planned for you just around the corner. Remember the story of Job! This is a whole new episode in your life, what a great adventure and opportunity to start over with a clean slate. WoW! Go for it! Kappityt!! (DT)
True love does grow over time, over distance, over everything, because it comes from within, and you yourself grow over time as things fall into perspective and unnecessary things are put aside...
