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.
