Everything Happens For a Reason
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they
were meant to be there, they 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; your roommate, your neighbor,
professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when
you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will
affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things
happen to you and at the time they seem horrible, painful and unfair,
but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles
you would never have realized your potential, strength, will power of
heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by
chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost
moments or true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the
limits of the soul.
Without these small tests, if they be
events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smooth paved,
straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and
utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life and
successes and downfalls you experience, they are the ones who create
who you are. Even the bad experience can be learned from... Those
lessons are the hardest and probably the most 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 whom 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 you would have never seen or felt without them.
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. You can
make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go
out and live it.
I wish you all the best in your endeavors as
well as struggles in life. Have a fighting spirit and never hesitate to
get back in the struggle!
