From my life people could learn that sticking with something will pay off in the long run.

From my life I would hope people would learn not to worry too much about if something is possible or not; if there is something you want, go ahead and try for it. You would be amazed at how often things turn out as you want them.
I hope people would learn to always follow their inner voice. It's the only guide you need. When all others are trying to bring you down, or tell you something is wrong, if you believe and persevere, anything is possible.

Out of all the lies I have told, "just kidding" is my favorite !
You can own stuff or stuff can own you. Lots of things fall under the "wouldn't it be great...." category. Wouldn't it be great to own and RV or a camp? Wouldn't it be great to own a boat and ATVs and motorcycles. Wouldn't it be great to put in a pool? Wouldn't it be great to have a huge house and lots of property? Wouldn't it be great to have 2 dogs? Wouldn't it be great to own this, that or the other thing? Wouldn't it be great to belong to every club in town, etc?
Now, I am not saying that it isn't great to have these things. Of course. But, my point is what is important to YOU? Yeah, a pool might be a lot of fun. But, it involves work, care, maintenance. A big home and yard, take up a lot of time in upkeep. Maybe that is how you want to spend your time. Maybe you can hire it out. Wouldn't it be great to own all kinds of things? Well, things need to be cared for, maintained, stored, repaired, etc. Look at the things in your life that suck your time and energy. If they are not adding value to your life, then get rid of it, don't do it, move on. I used to do a lot of things Just Because. Just because it seemed like the thing to do or maybe I saw other people doing it and thought it would be fun, etc. But, I see a lot of people wearing themselves out.
A friend of mine has an RV and loves it. For me, it would be another house to clean! No thanks. Not for me. Recognize what is for you and enjoy it, but if it isn't, don't clutter up your life with stuff you really don't care for.
That God is always Faithful to His word. He is always there. That even in the middle of the worst moment of your life, there is always something to be thankful for. That when you least feel like it is when you need to take that next step. And that no matter what is going on, you will, eventually, be ok again.
That life is short and this is the only moment we are guaranteed so make the most of it.
Smile when you don't feel like it.
And you can never say I love you too much.
