Everything Happens for a Reason

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were
meant to be there, they 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; your roommate, your neighbor,
professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when
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 and at the time they seem horrible,
painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming
those obstacles you would never have realized your potential, strength,
will power of heart.

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

Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships,
life would be like a smooth paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and
comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.


The people you meet who affect your life and successes and downfalls you
experience, they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad
experience can be learned from... Those lessons are the hardest and
probably the most 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 whom you open your heart.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they
love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart
and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything
that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen, let
yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. You can make of
your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live
it.

I wish you all the best in your endeavors as well as struggles in life.
Have a fighting spirit and never hesitate to get back in the struggle!
