Sometimes
people come into your life
and
you know right away that they were
meant
to be there, they 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;
your roommate, neighbor,
professor,
long lost friend, lover
or
even a complete stranger who,
when
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
and
at the time they may seem
horrible,
painful and unfair, but in
reflection
you realize that
without
overcoming those obstacles
you
would have never realized your
potential,strength,
will power or
heart.
Everything
happens for a reason.
Nothing
happens by chance or by
means
of good or bad 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, if
they
be events, illnesses or
relationships,
life would be like a
smoothly
paved, straight, flat
road
to nowhere. Safe and
comfortable
but dull and utterly
pointless.
The
people you meet who affect your
life
and the successes and
downfalls
you experience, they are
the
ones who create who you are.
Even
the bad experiences can be
learned
from... those lessons
are
the hardest and probably the most
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 to who you open your heart to.
If
someone loves you, love them back
unconditionally,
not only
because
they love you, but because they are
teaching
you to love and opening your heart
and
eyes to things you would have never
seen
or felt without them.
Make
every day count. Appreciate
every
moment and take from it
everything
that you possibly can,
for
you may never be able to
experience
it again. Talk to people
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, no
one
else will believe in you either.
You
can make of your life anything
you
wish.
Create
your own life and then go out
and
live it.
