Think about it...
Sometimes ppl come into ur life & u know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some some sort of purpose, teach u a lesson, or to help u figure out who u are or who u want to become. u never know who these ppl may be (possibly ur roomate, neighbor, teacher, coach, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger), but when u lock eyes w/ them, u know at that very moment they will affect ur life in some profound way. & sometimes things happen to u that may seem horrible, painful, & unfair @ first, but in reflection u find that w/out overcoming those obstacles, u would've never realized ur potential, strength, will power, or heart. eveything happens for a reason. nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatnness, & sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of ur soul. w/out these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. it would be safe & comfortable, but dull & utterly pointless. the ppl u meet who affect ur life, & the success & downfalls u experience, help to create who u are & who u become. even the bad experiences can be learned from. in fact, they are probably the most poignant & important ones.
if someone hurts u, betrays u, or breaks ur heart, be thankful & forgive them, for they have helped u learn about trust & the importance of being cautious to whom u open ur heart. if someone loves u, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love u, but cuz in a way, they are teaching u to love & to open ur heart & eyes to new-found moments. don't count every day; rather, make every day count. appreciate every moment & take from those moments everything that u possibly can for u may never be able to experience it again. talk to ppl that u have never talked to before, & actually listen. let urself fall in love, break free & set ur sights high. hold ur head up cuz u have every right to. tell urself u are a great individual & believe in urself, for if u don't, it will be hard for others to believe in u. don't forget ur prayers. ask God for strength to overcome the everyday trials & surely He will strengthen u. u need only to ask. u can make ur life anything u wish. paint ur own life portrait and live it w/ absolutely no regrets. most importantly, if u love someone, tell them. u never know what tomorrow may have in store.
