Good morning ladies and gentlemen, Growing up I was blessed to have a strong family and great mentors within my family that imparted wisdom and knowledge. The problem is that I chose to not listen to many of them because I chose for different reason not to listen to them. Some of these reasons were: “this is too difficult to follow”, “this is not for me, this is silly”, and the biggest one was, leveryone else is not doing it.” Now looking back I wish that I had listen to those who had already experienced these things or had knowledge of what I was dealing with. This would have not only saved me a lot of pain and heartache, but also should have put me so much further ahead in life. So here are five life lessons that hurt, but will make you stronger that I wish I had listened and learned. 1. Every second you spent comparing your life to someone else is wasting your your journey is unique and incomparable focus on your own path and happiness instead of measuring yourself against others perceived success. 2. You can lie down for people to walk on you and they will still complain that you’re not flat enough setting healthy boundaries is crucial. You’re worth is not defined by how much you let others take advantage of you 3. Never trust what someone says watch what they do actions speak, louder than words, judge people by their consistent behaviors not by empty promises or grand statements 4.You can’t love somebody enough to make them love you back genuine love is reciprocal and voluntary recognize your worth and don’t waste your heart on someone who isn’t willing or able to reciprocate your feelings, 5. Be careful with your words once they’re said they can only be forgiven not forgotten words have the power to heal or to wound deeply think before you speak and choose expressions that build rather than destroy.

Want to throw this out there Your boots are only worth what you out into them, also crap throw away boots are priced $200 and below, don’t buy those , they r thrown together and only meant to last maybe a year of that maybe 6 months. Spend $300 or more and get your washing/waxing/polishing and conditioning items to take care of them, boots are meant to be an investment , also your investing in your feet, your back, your spinal chord . Take this serious!!! I have like 15 or 16 pairs of boots from cowboy boots to dress boots, weekend boots, hunting boots, fishing/boating boots etc and I take care of all of them . Also it’s good to buy boots that you know can be resoled or even rebuilt. If the tag says they can’t be resoled then yet again Don’t buy them…. Cheap boots are like microwaves, washers and dryers and weedeeders, if u pay $200 then you’ll get maybe 2 years out of them, $300 3 years etc. So do your home work before you decide to invest in boots
