The "L" Word

Lose; every mistake is a lesson learned. Every wrong choice offers a chance to make it right.
Learn; no one knows everything, but everyone knows something.
Laugh; it is the best freedom from pain.
Live; not one second should be taken for granted.
Look; open your eyes to the world's wonders. Take everything in and never miss a moment.
Love; treat your friends with love and respect. Treat your enemies with just the same.
Listen; often times, the most important words are said in whispers


The ultimate goal in life is to care, unconditionally, for the one who stands beside you through it all; to love and to be loved. Hope, love, and faith are all in the waiting. Power is not the truth of life, for to love power is to love death. Strength can only be attained through the knowledge, awareness, and understanding of weakness. True strength is not measure in the body, but rather, in the heart. Love will keep us sound, and love will make us strong.
I have loved and I have learned. I may be hated but will never hate. I have lost many things, but I have not lost hope, I have not lost kindness, and I have not lost faith. I have made mistakes and learned hard, yet valued lessons from them. I will never again take the things that I have in life for granted. At least I can say that I have experienced things that many people die never having known.
