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 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 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 him or her, for you
never know what tomorrow may have in store.
And learn a lesson in life each day that you live.
THAT IS THE STORY OF LIFE
