Lessons to Learn





"Lessons keep getting harder until we learn from them."

I heard this quote and it really hit home.  Sometimes we keep living the same horrendous day over and over and don't learn from our mistakes or make changes.  I know my eating disorder was like that.  I would starve myself the whole day, then binge and purge at night. Then repeat. 

We get into habits that are hard to break. Both good and bad habits are ingrained and hardwired into our brains.  Maybe for you it's dating the same type of guy or girl that treats you like crap, ordering more and more stuff you don't need online, avoiding telling you spouse how you really feel, show up to the job you hate every day, and so on... 

The pain we endure will continue until we have fully learned our lesson.  It will keep showing up in our lives until we stand up and have enough courage to break the cycle.  All it takes is standing up for yourself TODAY and then doing the same the next day! I think the hardest part of showing up whole-heartedly in life is worrying about making the wrong decision or upsetting others. The only person you should be living for is yourself. Everything is between you and God or the Universe behind closed doors.  If you are not proud of the person you are know you can change and live a completely different life than before! You are not cursed and are strong enough to break the cycle!! I believe in you! <3

I've Learned

One of my all time favorite quotes!!! I included an amazing picture I took when I was in San Diego also!


"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life."

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
