You can’t rewrite your life. All you can do is write better chapters ahead.
You can’t change a person. All you can do is hope for this person to realize this.
You can’t have it all. All you can do is make do with what is given to us.
You can’t handle everything. All you can do is grab what you can at the moment, leave the rest for some other day.
You can’t make someone love you. All you can do is just love and never expect.
You can’t hide from the truth. All you can do really is face it head on.
You can’t do wrong without consequences. All you can do is learn from it.
You can’t expect loyalty and honesty from everyone. All you can do is be loyal and honest yourself, hoping to be given such in return.
You can’t count on everyone. All you can do is be your own hero.
You can’t trust everybody. All you can do is keep a close watch of yourself, your heart, your pride.
You can’t be good at something without failing at first. All you can do is resist the urge to surrender.
You can’t live in utter happiness. All you can do is be ready for misery to strike.
There are more cannots in life. I just can’t–how ironic–remember them all.
