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 when
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 have never realized
your potential, strength,
will power or heart.
Everything happens for a reason.
Nothing happens by chance
or by means of good 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,
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
who 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 to.
If someone loves you,
love them back unconditionally,
not only because
they love you, but because
they are teaching you to
love and to open
your heart and eyes
to little things.
Make every day count.
Appreciate every moment
and take from it everything
that you possibly can,
for you may 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 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.
