Learning To Live
******************************************
Today is the tomorrow you
worried about yesterday.
Was it worth it?
******************************************
Sometimes people come into your life and
you know right away they were meant to
be there, to serve some sort of purpose,
teach you a lesson or help you figure out who you
are or want to become.
You never know who these people may be
(possibly your roommate, neighbor, professor,
long lost friend, lover, or even a complete
stranger), but when you lock eyes with them,
you know they will affect you life in some
profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you that may
seem horrible, painful and unfair at first,
but in reflection you find that without overcoming
those obstacles, you would never have realized
your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens
by chance or by means of good luck. Illness, injury,
love, lost moments of greatness, and sheer
stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.
Without these small tests whatever they may be,
life would be like a smoothly paved, straight flat
road to nowhere. It would be dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life, and the success
and downfalls you experience, help create who you are and who
you become. Even 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, for they have helped you learn
about trust and the importance of being cautious
to when you open your heart. If someone loves you,
love them back unconditionally, not only because
they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching
you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
Make every moment count. Appreciate every moment and
take from those moments everything that you possibly
can for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people that you've 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 your are a great individual
and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in
yourself it will be hard for others to believe in you.
Your can make your life anything you wish.
Create your own life and then go out and live it...
with absolutely no regrets.
Most importantly, if you love someone, tell them, for
you never know what tomorrow may have in store.
And, learn a lesson in life each day you live.
I love you all....
