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.
Cheers
