It's Not...But...

-It’s not the destination but the journey that matters
-It’s not the result but the struggle that counts
-It’s not the words you use but the story you tell
-It’s not the tone you take but what you say
-It’s not what you say but how you say it
-It’s not the notes you play but the song they make
-It’s not the song you pick but how you play the notes
-It’s not what you do but how you do it
-It’s not how you do it but whether you do it at all
-It’s not whether you do it but whether your intentions are true
-It’s not your intentions but your actions that count
-It’s not what you know but who you know
-It’s not who you know but what you don’t know
-It’s not how much you have but how you earned it
-It’s not how you earn it but if you have it
-It’s not the feelings we feel but what actually happened
-It’s not that it’s happening but if you are a part of it
-It’s not what happened but how we deal with it
-It’s not the paint you use but the wall you put it on
-It’s not the wall you paint but the overall color of the house
-It’s not the color of the house but the plumbing that matters
-It’s not even the plumbing that matters but just that you have a friggen’ house
-It’s not that I’m complaining but I don’t have a house
-It’s not wise but people make up rules for everything
-It’s not a big deal but it gets a little ridiculous sometimes
-It’s not a good idea but sometimes I listen to these rules
-It's not like I haven't learned to ignore these but they sound wise sometimes
-It's not anyone's fault but mine
-It’s not that I don’t care or am too smart but life just isn't that simple
-It’s not like that at all but it’s getting near to the idea
