Sometimes people come into your life
and you know right away that they were meant to be there
they serve some sort of a purpose,
teach you a lesson,
or help figure out who you want to become
you never know who these people may be;
your neighbor, professor, long lost friend,
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 and
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 experiences can be learned from
those lessons are the hardest
and probably the most important ones
if someones 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 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 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!
