Sometimes
people come into your life and you know right away that they
were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach
you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you
want to become.
You
never know who these people may be, your neighbor, your coworker,
a long lost friend, or a complete stranger. When you lock eyes
with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your
life in some profound way.
Sometimes
things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair
at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming
those obstacles you would have never realized your potential,
strength, willpower, or heart.
Everything
happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of
good luck.
Illness,
injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity
all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small
tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved,straight,
flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull
and utterly pointless.
The
people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls
you experience, help to create who you are and who you become.
Even
the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably
the most poignant and important ones.
If
someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive
them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance
of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves
you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love
you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and
how to open your heart and eyes to things.
Make
every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those
moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be
able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never
talked to before, and actually listen.
Let
yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high.
Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself
you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you
don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe
in you.
You
can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life
and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
Most
importantly if you Love someone tell him or her, for you never
know what tomorrow may have in store.
Learn
a lesson in life each day that you live. That's the story of
Life.
