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 every 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 smoothy 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 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.
