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 a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to
become.
You never know who these people may be: a roommate, friend, neighbor, professor, child, teacher or even
a complete stranger, but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some
profound way.
Sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair at first,
but in reflection, you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would not have realized your strength, potential,
will power or heart.
Nothing happens by chance or 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, flat road to nowhere ... safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
People who you
meet and who affect your life, and the successes and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become.
The bad experiences are the most valuable because it is often from them that we learn the most. They are probably the most
poignant and important ones. Hurt, betrayal, loss, sadness ... these are the great builders of character. Only those who have
hurt and lost or have been sad and disappointment know how to truly comfort and forgive another in the same circumstances.
Consider yourself blessed!
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.
You
may not have the chance to share, talk, listen,
dream, love, teach, or enjoy that moment 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.
You can make of 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.
If you take your eyes off your goals,
all
you see are obstacles.
Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Was it worth it?
