Such important things in 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-
a neighbor, a friend, a lover, or even
a complete stranger-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 those obstacles you
would have 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 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 are
and who you become. Even the bad
experiences can be learned from. In
fact, they are sometimes the most
inportant ones.
If someone loves you, give love back to
them in whatever way you can, 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.
If someone hurts you, betrays you, or
breaks your heart, stay away from them
after you tell them, 'what goes around
comes around.' Be aware that they have
helped you learn about the importance
of being cautious to whom you open your
heart.
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 listen to
what they have to say.
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 anything you wish of your
life. Create your own life and then go
out and live it with absolutely no
regrets.
And if you love someone tell them, for
you never know what tomorrow may have
in store. Learn a lesson in life each
day that you live. Today is the
tomorrow you were worried about
yesterday. Ask yourself if it was worth
it?
