Sometimes
people come into your life and you know right away that
they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose,
teach you a lesson or help you figure out who you are or
who you want to become.
You
never know who these people may be; your roommate, neighbor,
professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger
who, when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment
they will affect your life in some profound way.
Sometimes
things happen and at the time they may seem horrible, painful
and unfair, but in retrospect 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 a lesson. In fact, they are probably
the most 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 who 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 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 do so. 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 it.
