Sometimes people come into your life...

Sometimes people come into your life and you knowright away that they were meant to be there, to servesome sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to helpyou figure out who you are or who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be - a roommate, aneighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even acomplete stranger - but when you lock eyes with them,you know at that very moment they will affect yourlife in some profound way.

Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible,painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection youfind that without overcoming those obstacles you wouldhave never realized your potential, strength,willpower, or heart.

Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness,and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits ofyour soul. Without these small tests, whatever theymay be, life would be like a smoothly paved straightflat road to nowhere. It would be safe andcomfortable, but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to createwho you are and who you become. Even the badexperiences can be learned from. In fact, they are

sometimes the most important ones.If someone loves you, give love back to them inwhatever way you can, not only because they love you,but because in a way, they are teaching you to loveand how to open your heart and eyes to things. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks yourheart, forgive them, for they have helped you learnabout trust and the importance of being cautious towhom you open your heart.Make every day count.

Appreciate every moment and takefrom those moments everything that you possibly canfor you may never be able to experience it again. Talkto people that you have never talked to before, andlisten to what they have to say. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set yoursights high. Hold your head up because you have everyright to. Tell yourself you are a great individual andbelieve in yourself, for if you don't believe inyourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.

You can make anything you wish of your life. Createyour own life and then go out and live it withabsolutely no regrets. And if you love someone tell them, for you never knowwhat tomorrow may have in store. Learn a lesson in life each day that you live!Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday.
