Words will never do justice to the highs and lows I’ve felt the first half of 2010.  I’m not sure what I’ve ‘learned’, but I’ve definitely been reminded of various lessons that I’ve picked up over the years:

1. Whatever you fear the most in this world, there’s something a million times worse out there.  And it will hit you when you least expect it.

2.  People are pretty good about remembering when you were fair with them, usually indifferent if you didn’t make an impact one way or another, but never, never, never forget if they feel like you did wrong by them.  So burn your bridges carefully.

3. Time doesn’t move backward, it goes forward.  Past experience informs our futures, but if you spend too long in the past it can cause you to ignore what’s in front of you.

4. If it was easy, everyone would have it.

5. Money can’t buy love or happiness, but anyone who says it doesn’t provide a competitive advantage is full of shi-.

And on that note, here’s to a happier and healthier six months!
