Easy And Difficult

    For every positive there is a negative in life. We all face them each and every day. We often say so many things are easy failing to realize how difficult it is to make the positives come to pass without the negatives.
    It's easy....
    -to get a place in someone's address book. 
    -to judge the mistakes of others.
    -to talk without thinking.
    -to hurt someone who loves us.
    -to forgive others.
    -to set rules.
    -to dream every night.
    -to show victory.
    -to admire a full moon.
    -to stumble over a stone.
    -to enjoy life every day.
    -to promise something to someone.
    -to say we love.
    -to criticize others.
    -to make mistakes.
    -to weep for a lost love.
    -to think about improving.
    -to think bad of others.
    -to receive.
    -to read this.
    -to keep a friendship with words.
    These things are easy to say, but hard to follow up on. Here's why:
    It's difficult... 
    -to get a place in someone's heart.
    -to recognize our own mistakes.
    -to hold your tongue.
    -to heal a wound.
    -to ask for forgiveness.
    -to live up to your own rules.
    -to fight for a dream.
    -to accept defeat with dignity.
    -to see the other side.
    -to get up when you've been knocked down.
    -to give life its real value.
    -to fulfill the promises you've made.
    -to show you care every day.
    -to improve yourself more than you criticize others.
    -to learn from your mistakes.
    -to take care of that relationship so as not to lose it.
    -to stop thinking it and put it into action.
    -to give others the benefit of the doubt.
    -to give.
    -to follow.
    -to keep it with meaning.
