The Story of Life

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 who you want to become. You never know who these people may be possibly your roommate,
neighbor, coworker, longlost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger  but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they
will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those
obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, 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 nowhere. 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 become. Even 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, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being
cautious when you open your heart.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open
your heart and eyes to things.
Make every day count!!! Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything
that you possibly can for you may never be able
to experience it again. Talk to people that 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 yourself, it will be hard for others to
believe in you. You can make of your life anything
you wish. Create your own life then go out and
live it with absolutely no regrets.h
