10 Lessons I learned this week... Aug. 14, 2013

10 Lessons I learned this week....
1.  Not everyone is willing to look at or work on themselves.
2. Because I want to work to make a relationship better, doesn't mean the other person does.
3. When I ask to be respected, and for my feelings to be considered...some people take that as a sign to be more disrespectful to me and talk disrespectful about the people I love.
4. Relationships aren't important to everyone, some people prefer to go with ego rather than love.
5. I learned that standing by someone doesn't mean they appreciate it or even respect me.
6. I learned that I can only take someone yelling, swearing at me , and calling me names for so long before I become the part of me I don't like.
7.  I learned that people who truly love me don't put me in that position.
8.  I learned that regardless of if someone or anyone loves me, I love me.  That I deserve someone who brings out the best of me.
9.  I learned I am willing to look at my darkness and work on me; and when I fall, I stay down less, I get up faster, and get back on my path with less baggage. 
10. I learned that I am loved and I deserve to surround myself with those people, and release those who don't know how or don't want to love me.
