~~~~ Everything Happens for a Reason ~~~~
******************************************
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 that you are with them, 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 have never 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 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. 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 everyday 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
who you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let
yourself fall in love, even if it doesn't seem right because you are
too young or too far, just follow your heart. Surround yourself with
those who make you smile, laugh, and make you happy.
Break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you
Have every right to. Create your own life then let go and live it!
