I Learned...

I learned that there is so much I can do in life

I didn't even know where to start

I'm aware that there are 3 deterrents -

money, time and ability

I didn't have enough money to start with

But for sure I can earn it

If there's no time I will make time for it

And though I might not be capable to do all those things

At least I want to, at least I would try

I learned not to give up on searching for the things I really want to see

If others say "Oh you can't find it anywhere"

I would still look and find it myself

Until I found what I'm looking for

I would not give up

Until I realized there's really none and had convinced myself

I couldn't find what I'm looking for... for now

I learned that money though necessary, is not the most important thing in the world

And the happiness you get from having enough or so much of it are only superficial and temporary

Many are dying having much of it

Many are dying from wanting so much of it

And still many dies from lack of it

You can steal money but you can't steal love

Money can't raised a living from the dead but love can save lives

Yes money can solve hunger but those who are hungry for love cannot buy love

Because of love you can endure pain

Even if you buy all the pain relievers in the world with your money,

It cannot relieve sorrow nor despair

I learned not to allow my past define or control my future

I will not wallow on my regrets, heartaches or failures

I will rise If I fall and I will love again

I learned the more pain you get, the stronger you become

I learned not to fear pain but accept it

For the longer I can endure pain and not give up because of it,

the better person I become
