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.
