did it change your life in any way?

A lot of people have said a lot of important things to me in my lifetime that helped me to change my life.
A counselor explained my marriage to a drug addict like this:
If life is a road, your supposed to share a car with your husband.
You and your husband are trying to get to different places. You are trying to get your husband to go where you are going. Neither one of you are ever going to get anywhere, because you have taken it upon yourself to drive both cars. When you decide that you need to drive your own car, and leave his where it is, you'll be okay, but not until then.
I am divorced. He is still a delusional drug addict. I am rebuilding my life. I may still have to struggle but, I am happy. I was able to give myself permission to let go of the husband because I was only capable of helping him to continue using, I was not capable of helping him to stop, because he did not want to.
My brother, upon learning that I was dating again, asked me whether the guy opened my doors for me, looked me in the eyes when I spoke, walked me to my door when he dropped me off, etc. I giggled at him and said well yes he did actually. My brother said I'm serious. You deserve for someone to want to treat you with that much respect and more. When he stops opening your doors for you, dump him. I learned that I should be with someone who values me, not with someone that I need to prove my value to.
I hope that helps you.
Thanks.

Two things:
1. There comes a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance, that imitation is suicide, that he must take himself for better or worse as his portion, that though the wide universe if full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him, but through his toil, bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.
AND
2. To be truly successful, you need to follow two simple rules:
1. Don't tell people everything you know.
And
2........(can't tell you)

After somebody made fun of something I was wearing, my father once told me..."Don't ever let anybody tell you, who you should be. You know better than anybody, who you are, and who you should be"
This was shortly before my Dad was killed in a car accident. I was 15 years old, and at that stage of life, where I was trying to figure out who I was. It stuck with me for years, and years, and I still heed that advice now.

My grandfather told me when I was little that I was the Author of My Own Fate. I didn't realize until I was older what he meant.
It is in you moments of decision that your destiny is formed. Heavy stuff ...... but true.
Yea. It made me a lot more responsible.

Too many to count. A recent one came from my favorite university professor, referring to a book I'm having trouble writing:
"Just get it done. You have the rest of your life to get it right."

"What you are afraid to do is a clear indicator of the next thing you need to do."
Yes, changed my life...made me realize that with a little bit of effort many obstacles can be overcome.

during a period of depression, someone said to me "And this, too, shall pass away." That comforting thought helped me to overcome my depression, and have a more positive outlook on life.

"If you don't even like yourself, how do you expect to love others?"
Those words helped me to realize that I was looking for affection in all the wrong places, and to spend some time with myself. Introspection is valuable, and more people should engage in it.

write to me in what ever you need..
write in a Persian,,
or in an non-Arabic , even in a Gypsy language..
write , and don`t worry ,
because i will got what you say...
you taught a literature as well...
because i am enthralled by what your hands write...
all your writings i love ,
even that which you satirized me in...
write and don`t be hesitate..
i declared the love on you ..
i will not use the gunpowder and the pistol...
just iam using the hot and the fire which is inside my heart..
because i am madly with you ..
and i love you to the end of my last breathe..
love you ,and think about you in all my nights ..
love you ,and in the morning when i open my eyes..
and love you , between my nights and my days in my dreams ...
love you , while i am looking at your eyes..
love you , and like your rosary lips..
love you , and i am yelling in my hight voice..
love you and i am telling all whom i know ...
love you every time while i am looking at the birth of moon..
the birth which i wait every night...
love you ....
