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 to help you figure out who 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.
