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, longlost 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!!!
