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 to help you figure
out whom you are or who you want to become. You never know who these
people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbor, teacher, fraternal brother or
sister, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger), but when you
lock eyes with them, you know that at that very moment they will affect your
life in some profound way.
And
sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at
first, but in reflection you find 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 the 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 to when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love
them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a
way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to
things. Make every day 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, it will be hard for others to
believe in you. You can make 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 finally, enjoy looking forward to
learning a new lesson each day and enjoying the journey.
