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 help figure out who you are or who you
want to become. You never know who these
people may be but you lock eyes with them, you
know that very moment that they will affect your
life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you at the time
that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in
reflection you realize that without overcoming
those obstacles you would never realize your
potential, strength, will power or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing
happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost
moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all
occur to test limits of your soul.
Without these small tests, life would be like a
smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere
safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless. The
people you meet affect your life. The successes
and downfalls that you experience can create
whom you are, and 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 because they have helped you learn about trust
and the importance of being cautious to whom you
open your heart
If someone loves you, love them back
unconditionally, not only because they love you,
but also because they are teaching you to love
and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make
every day count. Appreciate everything that you
possibly can, for you may never experience it
again.
Talk to people whom you have never talked to
before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love,
break free and set your sights high. Hold you 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, no one else will
believe in you. Create you own life and then go out
and live it.
