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 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. Create your own life and then go out and live it.
Share
this with anyone whom you believe
has made a difference in your life!
