Your Future Your 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 help you figure out who you are, or who you want to become..
You never know who these people may be, a Mother, a Father, a roommate,
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 road, a straight flat road to nowhere.. 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 important.. If someone loves
you, give love back to them in whatever way you can, not only because they love
you, but 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,
forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust, and the importance
of being cautious to whom you open your heart.. Make everyday count, and
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..
