Everything Happens for a Reason

Contributed by Jigs on Sunday, 15th August 2004 @ 12:38:45 AM in AEST
Topic: oops

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
(possibly your roommate, neighbor, coworker, long lost
friend, lover, or even a complete stranger) but when
you lock eyes with them, you know at that very
moment that they will affect your life in some
profound way.

And 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.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens
by chance or by means of 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, 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 become.

Even 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, for they have helped you learn
about trust and the importance of being cautious
when you open your heart. If someone loves you,
love them back unconditionally, 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.

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 actually listen. Let yourself fall in
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 of your life anything you wish. Create
your own life then go out and live it with
absolutely no regrets.

bravo!

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
