Everything really does happen for a reason ...

Sometimes people come into our life

and we know right away

that they were meant to be there.

They serve some sort of purpose,

teach us a lesson,

help figure out who we are

or

who we want to become.

But we never know, who those people may be,

just when we lock eyes with them,

we know that at every moment,  they will affect

our life in some profound way.

“  Everything happens for a reason !

Nothing happens by chance or by means

of good or bad luck  ”

Sometimes things happen to us,

and at the time, they seem horrible,

painful and unfair,

but upon reflection,

we notice that without overcoming those obstacles,

we would never realize

our potential… our strength…

and our willpower.

Illness, injury, love,

lost moments or true greatness, and

sheer stupidity

all occur to test the limits of our soul.

In any case, without those events,

life would be like a smooth paved, straight,

flat road to nowhere.

Maybe, it would be safe and comfortable,

but dull and utterly pointless.

Successes and downfalls

can create who we are.

In some way, people we meet affect our life;

We can’t always choose our circumstances,

but we can choose our attitudes towards them.

Even so, it’s important to try and learn

from bad experience…

those lessons are the hardest

and probably the most important ones…

If someone hurts us, betray us ,

or break our heart,

FORGIVE them,

because they have helped us

learn about trust and the importance

of being cautious to whom we open our heart too.

Forgiveness is not something we do

 for other people,

we do it for ourselves …

to get well and move on…

But, if someone love us,

love them back unconditionally,

not only because they love us,

but because they are teaching us to love,

opening our hearts and eyes

to little things.

We have only one life and

one chance to do the things we want to do.

Let’s dream what we want,

Let’s go wherever we want to go

“ Let’s make every day count ”

Let’s appreciate every moment

and take from it everything

that we possibly can,

since for us

may never be able to experience it again.

We might make of our life anything we wish,

the best way to predict our life is to create it...

let’s create our own life and

then let’s go out and live it.

Someday everything will all make perfect sense,

So for now

 laugh at the confusion,

Smile through the tears

and keep reminding yourself that

“Everything happens for a reason”
