Life is one of the greatest classrooms that there is. Here are a few “things I have learned” in mine….

Follow your heart in all things – in love, in your career and with God – and you will never have to wonder “what if?”
Life is not all black and white – many parts of it are shades of grey – so judge accordingly.
Great love involves great risk.
It’s not what you have, it’s who you have.
Just because you’ve silenced a man doesn’t mean you’ve convinced him.
Three things keep progress dead – personalities, politics and pride.
Love finds options, not excuses.
When your house is burning it’s hard to be joyful.
Class never goes out of style.
You will only have a handful of people in your lifetime who understand you – your core, your strengths, your faults, your weaknesses. Don’t let them out of your life – they are invaluable, they can help guide you.
When they say “It’s not about _____”, it almost always IS about “_____”
Embrace knowledge and learning and you will stay young in spirit.
Life is serious! Remember to have fun along the way.
The extremes in your life – whether bad OR good – will prove to you who your real friends are.
Nothing breeds misunderstanding faster than silence.
The closest some folks will ever get to an altar is at their funeral.
You don’t have to join ever argument that you are invited to.
Your gut never lies.
Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. (Ecclesiastes 10:20)
When a person shows you who they are – believe them!
At times you will have to let situations or people go to find out if they really belong to you.
Real communication starts when people feel safe.
Compare yourself to yourself – and no one else.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. (Ecclesiastes 12:13)
