There are those times where you feel life has passed you by as if you were never a part of it, Then one day it reaches up and grabs you and you realize it was there all along, just waiting for you to take it all in and become part of it. When you get to the point were you feel that there isn't anything left to live for, because everything around you has fallen apart, step back and take a deep breath. Open your eyes and realize that everything in your life happens for a reason. One event leading to another in becoming your end result. If things seem as though they are never going to get better, just take a second and think about where you were before and were you still might end up. If we all stop to think we would all realize that our future is in our own hands and that only we can write the ending to our own story. Life is a line of chain events that we can only control ourselves. If things seem to be getting bad then do what you have to do to change it. Rationalize your decisions before making them. Sometimes the bad things have to happen before the good things can come to light. I believe that you have to work hard for a happy ending, it will not just come to you because that is what you want. I have had my rise and falls so many times. And times when I feel I have nothing left to give and nothing left to live for. But then I pick myself up and tell myself, things could be worse! There are so many more people out there that are suffering more than I and so many more that have less and lost more. Then I realize life isn't so bad after all. If I want to have the greatest life I could ever live then I am the only one who can make that happen. Play your hand! Play it well.
