That I don't have to be perfect, and even when you think you are, life can spin out of control. I have learned not to take life so seriously and to have fun with people as much as possible at their expense. And another hard lesson that I learned is to always seek professional advice in financial and legal matters. Great question! I am going to read all answers and learn something.

To learn how to work hard...but play also. I used to feel guilty if I wasn't always busy working..Then I learned all work and no play...will drive Chola crazy! And I only have 1 life to live so I better get busy living it!
Also I learned you cannot trust everyone, but I have not let that make me bitter...just wiser..and very careful who I consider a friend.

To trust my instincts.......Here's why-
My mom was very sick with chronic depression and bi-polar disorder all throughout my life. When I was 22, she tried to commit suicide by taking a bottle of vallium. We got her to the hospital in time and she was ok for about 20 days.
On September 27, 1999 she was at home in bed. I went to her room and talked with her for a while. I was late for work, so I was kinda in a hurry. She stopped me cold in the middle of her room, put both hands on the sides of my face and told me how beautiful I was. She just looked at me...like she was litterally looking into my soul. It was very eerie. Still, to this day, I remember the exact feeling.
She asked me to take care of my Dad, because I was the only one he would listen to. I asked her "Why, what are you going to do?" She just looked at me.
I left, like an idiot, thinking that I would call my Dad to go over and be with her. ( His office was less than 100 feet away from where she was.)
I picked up my cell phone to call him, and SOMETHING made me put it down. Call it intuition, call it divine intervention, call it whatever you want, but it was like I knew that leaving her alone was the only thing that would make her truly happy and I had never seen my mama truly happy. I fought with myself for a long time over that.
About an hour and a half later, my Dad called me and told me to come home, that he needed me. I knew at that moment, what had happened.
I know I could have stopped her, if I had only trusted my instincts. I learned my lesson the REALLY, REALLY hard way. I always trust myself now. Even if I get a bad feeling about someone that I haven't talked to in years. I always call to check on them, or say a little prayer for them. I know they arrived in my subconscience for a reason.
I miss my Mom more than anything and I would give almost anything to talk to her again. But, I know she is with me. I can sometimes feel her...in the way the air smells, or they way my babies hug me. I just, at this moment, realized that what I FEEL is not her, but me becoming more and more like her. And I am so proud of that!

To be yourself and don't let anyone change you into something you're not.
Tough lesson to learn.

That there are people who really do care only about themselves and don't care how or who they hurt. Learned it long ago.

Not all people are good, or have a good nature. I want to believe there is good in everyone, but I can no longer believe that there is anyone who is mostly good.

That when all is said and done the only person I can trust to be loyal, honest, and true to me is myself.
