Dear
Friends
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 roommate, a neighbor, a professor, 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 important 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, forgive them, for they have
helped you learn about trust and 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.
Think
About it? Was it worth it?
