Message: 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, for 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 break your
heart forgive them, for
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 because in a way, they are
teaching you to love and how to
open your heart and eyes to things.

Make everyday 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.

Don't forget "prayers" and asking God for the
strength to overcome the
everyday trials, as he will strengthen you. You
need only to ask. You can
make of your life everything 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.

Was it worth it?
