Everything happens for a reason

If everything happens for a reason...

There are people who will 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 and who YOU want to become

You never know who these people may be,
but when you lock eyes with them,
you know at that very moment
that they will effect your life
in some profound way

And sometimes things happens to you,
and at the time they may seem horrible,
painful and unfair, but in reflection you
realize that without overcoming those
obstacles you would have never realized
YOUR potential, strength, will power or heart

Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true
greatness and sheer stupidity all
occur to test the limits of our soul
Without theses 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 effect your life,
You effect theirs

The successes and downfalls that
you experience can create who 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 to

If someone loves you,
love them back unconditionally,
not only because they love you,
but because they are teaching you to love
and open your heart and eyes to the little things

Make EVERY day count!

Appreciate every moment
and take from it everything you possibly can,
for you may NEVER be able to experience it again
Talk with people you have never talked with before,
and actually listen

Let yourself fall in love,
break free and set your sights high
Hold your head up,
you have every right to
Go look in the mirror and recognize that YOU are the greatest gift,

BELIEVE in yourself,
If you don't nobody else will
Remember that just because
the form of your love for another may change
...the essence NEVER does
