| Sometimes Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there To serve some sort of purpose, to teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you might 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 you know at the moment they will affect your life in some profound way Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first but in reflection you find that without overcoming these obstacles you would have never realized your potential, your strength, your willpower, 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, whatever they may be life would be like a smoothly paved, straight flat road to nowhere It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless The people you meet who affect your life and the success and downfalls you experience help to 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 when you open your heart If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally not only because they love you but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things that you would have never seen or felt without them Make everyday 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 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 either You can make of your life anything you wish Create your own life, then go out and live it Author unknown |
