| Sometimes people come into your life and you know, right away, that they were meant to be. To serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, help you grow, or even help you figure out who you want to become.
You never know who these people might be. But when you lock eyes with them, you'll know, at that very moment, that they will infact impact your life in some profound way. Sometimes things may happen to you at times where it may seem horrible, painful, or even unfair. But in reflection, you realize that without overcoming those obstacles and hurt, you may have never realized your potential, your strength, ability to love, admit fault, will power, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing..... by means of chance or good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be the smoothest paved, straight, flat, and dull road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable, but never the less pointless. It is the lowest of lows, which accentuates the highest of highs.
The people you meet affect your life. The successes and down falls that you experiance can create who you are, and the bad experiances can in fact be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most 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 learning who to open yourself up to. If someone loves you, love them back UNCONDITIONALLY. Not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love, and open your eyes and ears to the smallest, yet most important things about life.
Make everyday count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything you possibly can, for you may never be able to experiance 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. 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. Accept that all of us can be hurt, and that all of us can, and surely will at times fail. However, what you take from the experiance at the end, is what really counts in the long run. For "it is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere." You once again find comfort in the one thing which has remaind constant..... life goes on.
