the majority of people are good at heart
tremendous trauma can be overcome
life is a work in progress
we all have positive and negative emotions, it is how we use them
self-confidence can be built
there is no right or wrong answer
life is not black and white, it is grey
money doesn’t solve all
effort isn’t always rewarded
life isn’t fair
there are no shoulds
we are all different yet we are human
a heartbeat is a heartbeat
a baby’s cry can have many meanings
there is no mold for life, we learn
belief in ourselves is critical
there is not one religion but many
there is evil in this world
we can control the negatives in our life
we have to set boundaries with everyone including ourselves
words are words
feelings have to be felt
only we can allow ourselves to feel shame
every personality is different, avoid those who harm you
never, never, never give up
fight for what you believe in and in a peaceful manner
there is no room for us versus them
every day is different, even when it looks the same
we can’t control others and no one can control us
we make choices, the best at the moment
survival isn’t pretty
life is short
accomplishment is different for everyone
not everyone wants to get married or have children
we can’t compare life stories, there is no measurement
make the best of what you have
make choices based on your heart and gut
look past the cover
we are one, yet different

True about using wisdom – remembering and applying what we’ve learned is not always as consistent as I’d like.
