Everything Happens For A Reason

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 help figure out who you are or who you
want to become. You never know who these people may be but
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 at the time that may seem
horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that
without overcoming those obstacles you would never
realize your potential, strength, will power or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by
chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true
greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test limits of your soul.

Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved,
straight, flat road to nowhere safe and comfortable but
dull and utterly pointless.
 
The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls
that you experience can create whom you are, and 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 because 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 also because they are teaching you to
 love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every
day count. Appreciate everything that you possibly can,
for you may never experience it again.

 

Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and actually l
isten. 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, no one else will believe in you.
Create you own life and then go out and live it.
 

Share this with anyone whom you believe has made a difference

in your life!
