Answer 5

Learning to let go.

Sometimes we let go of the person because we love them.

Answer 6

Your stories are important.  Reflect upon your experiences.  Discern the lessons you have learned, and learn to spin the yarn so that others can learn from your life's tapestry--but also learn to tell your stories so that in the telling you heal up those old battle wounds.

Love yourself the way you are, and loving others will come naturally

Answer 9

several tragedies in my life have deeply ingrained in me the refusal to compromise a certain amount of principal, truth, and dignity, but most importantly, time.

no matter how tough we are, how safe, how determined, etc. tomorrow could be it.

in a nutshell, life is far too short and unpredictable to "put up" with any sort of BS

Answer 10

Everything works out. No matter how bad of a problem everything will work out and harmony will be restored.

Answer 11

That every situation has a purpose, and that I am strong enough to handle difficult ones if I remain present and open.

Answer 12

Patience was taught to me by my children.  They don't sleep through the night just because they ask you to.  You teach them to and it takes several weeks.  That is one of the many examples.

Answer 13

That "nothing really matters".  Most people think this is a form of laziness and ignorance, but it isn't.  When you truly understand it (and the reasons why), you are under less stress and can take things more easy, but, don't worry, you are still going to care about things ... you just won't do it so blindly as you did before.

You don't need to read books or talk to people to understand this.  I found it out myself.  It was never a goal that I wanted to reach.  It just came to me.

Answer 14

That it's not what you go through, it's your attitude while your going through it. And, if your attitude is optimistic, hopeful, you will just go through it. Life is 10% what hapens to you and 90% how one reacts to it.  

Answer 15

Don't ever fall in love with something that won't love you back.

I learned this after being kicked out of the army, despite being almost comically gung-ho, when I was caught sleepwalking.  You can fall in love with the army, but the army will never fall in love with you.  I've had that lesson confirmed by my own dealings with political parties.  But I don't think I truly appreciated the lesson until I met and married my wife.  At the end of the day there's no cause, no institution that's more worthy than loving someone and being loved in return.  Too bad my sister, who's a crazed PETA activist, hasn't figured it out yet.
