Everything Happens for a Reason

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 what you want to become

You never know who these people may be

a roommate, a neighbour, a professor, a friend, a lover

but when you lock eyes with them

You know at that very moment
they will affect your life in some profound way.

Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful and unfair at first

but in reflection you find that without overcoming this obstacle you would never realized your potential, strength, willpower or heart.

Ilness, 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 newhere.

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 face, tyeh are sometimes the most important ones.

If someone hurts you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you to 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.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possiblu can, for you may never be alble 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. 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 yourseld, no one else will believe in you, either.

You can make of your life anything you wish.

Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.

Have a fighting spirit and never hesitate to get back in a struggle!

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.

Someday everything will all make perfect sense.

So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that..

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!
