Back to the Carolinas: What I've learned so far

I must keep to my own style and go on in my own way; and though i may never succeed again in that, i'am convinced that i should totally fail in any other.

-Jane Austen

Here's a few things i've learned thus far:

• my relationship with God requires effort and trust. 

                    -When things were going great in my life, I was more than eager to praise and worship Him. But when things went sour, my praise, worship and prayers were few.

I'm learning to trust in Him and put effort in making time to worship Him even in the midst of life storms.

• My family are amazing. I'am truly bless to have these wonderful people as my family. They have taught me a lot about sacrifice, unconditional love and trust.
• Move forward with your life even if you experience set back.
• It's okay to fail as long as you keep trying.
• Not everyone is going to like you.
• As you grow up, you will lose some friends. IT'S OKAY!
• You will get hurt by those whom you love.
• Forgive. Not For others but for yourself.
• Stand up for yourself. You were created by a wonderful Creator, who have bless you with the strength and voice to speak, so SPEAK.
• A relationship without God at the center will fail.
• RESPECT others!!!
• Be mindful of what you say. Although, the tongue does not have many bones, it has the power to break many bones.
• It's okay to start over. 
• I'm not Angel neither or you. Take ownership in your mistake. Admit when you wrong someone.
• Say sorry. The person whom you hurt/harm may not forgive you but it's okay. You have to accept it, learn from it, and move on.
• People show love differently.
• Everyone has a story to tell, some more interesting than others.
• Love thy self.
• If you must change yourself, change yourself if so that you can better yourself not for others.
• See Christ in others. Even though you may not like others.
• Don't pause your life because of failures. The world goes on with or without you.
• Keep your private life private. Not everyone need to know the ABCs of your life.
• Learn how to be at peace with your past.
• Just because someone is different from you doesn't  mean they are less than you.
• Please do not shove your views down other people throats.
• Pray!!! Help may not come right away but your perception of the problem will change.
