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 when 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 have never realized
your potential, strength, will power or heart. 

Everything happens for a reason.
Nothing happens by chance or by means of good 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, 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 who 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 to.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally,
not only because they love you, but because they are
teaching you to love and to open your heart and eyes
to little things.

Make every day count.  Appreciate every moment and take
from it everything that you possibly can, for you may
never be able to experience it again.

Talk to people 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.
Please send this to anyone who you believe has made
a difference in your life!

"If you take your eyes off your goals,
 all you see are obstacles..." GH
