The Story of Life
The Story of Life
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,
coworker,
long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger) but
when you lock eyes
with them, you know at that very moment that 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 my means
of luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness,
and sheer
stupidity all occurs to test the limits of your soul. Without
these 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 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 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 of your life anything you wish. Create your
own life then
go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
*MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! *
If you LOVE someone tell him, for you never know what tomorrow
may have in store!!!
