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 (possibly your roommate,
neighbor, coworker, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger) but
when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will
affect your life in some profound way.
And 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 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 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 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!!!
