♥ LIFE ♥

Sometimes people come into your life

and you know right away they were meant to be there;

to serve some sort of purpose,

teach you a lesson or help figure out

who you are or want to become.

You never know who these people may be but

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 at a time that
may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in
reflection you realize that without overcoming
these obstacles you would have never realized
your potential, strength, or will power.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens
by chance or by means of good luck, illness,
injury, love or lost moments of true greatness.
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 because they are teaching you
to love and to 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.

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, no one else
will believe in you.

Create your own life and then go out and live it.
