Life Lesson
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 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, upon 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 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 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.
