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 your own life and then go out and live it.
