You never know who these people may be: your neighbor,
child, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger
who, 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 and at the time they seem
painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that
without overcoming those obstacles you would have never
realized your potential strength, will power, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance
or by means of good or bad 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, whether they be events, illnesses
or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved
straight flat road to nowhere, safe and comfortable, but
dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life and the successes
and downfalls you experience create who you are, and even
the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are
probably the 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 to whom you open your
heart...
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not
only because they love you, but because they are teaching
you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you
would have never seen or felt without them.
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from
it everything that you possibly can, for you many never be
able to experience it again...
Talk to people 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 too. 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 either. You can make of your life
anything you wish.
Create your own life and then go out and live in it!
