Too often we don't realize
what we have until it's gone.
Too often we're too stubborn
to say, "Sorry, I was wrong."
Too often it seems we hurt
the ones closest to our hearts,
and we let the most foolish
things tear us apart.

BE DETERMINED,
not stubborn.
Determination is positive, feels light
and will take you far. It's a willingness to
change as needed; keeping an open mind.
Stubbornness is a heavy feeling; a refusal
to budge; a negative, closed mind and will
hold you back.
