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 help figure out who

you are or who you want to become.


You never know who these people may be

but you lock eyes with them, you know that

very moment that they will affect your life

in some profound way.



And sometimes things happen to you

at the time that may seem horrible,

painful and unfair, but in reflection

you realize that without overcoming

those obstacles you would never realize

your potential, strength, will power or heart.



Everything happens for a reason.

Nothing happens by chance or

by means of luck.

Illness, love, lost moments of true

greatness and sheer stupidity all

occur to test limits of your soul.



Without these small tests,

life would be like a smoothly paved,

straight, flat road to nowhere safe

and comfortable but dull and

utterly pointless.



The people you meet affect your life.

The successes and downfalls that you

experience can create whom you are,

and 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

because they have helped you learn about

trust and the importance of being cautious

to whom you open your heart.



If someone loves you, love them

back unconditionally,

not only because they love you, but

also because they are teaching you

to love and open your heart

and eyes to little things.


Make every day count.


Appreciate everything that you possibly can,

for you may never experience it again.



Talk to people whom 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,

no one else will believe in you.


Create your own life and then go out and live it.



Share this with anyone whom you believe
has made a difference in your life!



"If you take your eyes off your

goals, all you see is obstacles."
