16 IMPORTANT THINGS WE ALL NEED TO KNOW:

1. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

2. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship- and find out you still care for that person.

3. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who
means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

4. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but oftentimes we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

5. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

6. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

7. There are things you'd love to hear that you could never hear from the person whom you would like to hear them from, but don't be so deaf as not to hear it from the one who says it from his heart.

8. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone - but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

9. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

10. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

11. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do... but do them all in His name.

12. Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person, too.

13. The beginning of love is to let those we love be just
themselves, and not twist them with our own image - otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

14. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

15. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

16. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.
