Life
Lessons
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,
professor,
long lost friend, lover, or even a
complete
stranger), but when you lock eyes with
them,
you know 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 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
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 of 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
learn a lesson in life each day you
live.
