Sometimes

 Sometimes

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,

 Possibly your roommate, neighbor or professor,

long lost friend, 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.

And sometimes things happens to you that way

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 good luck,

Illness, injury love, lost moment of true greatness

and sheer stupidity all occur to test the unit of your soul. 

Without these test 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 probably the most poignant and important

ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or break your heart

forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust

and the importance of being cautious, to 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 again.

Talk to people that you have 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,

it will be hard for others to believe in you.  

You can make of your life anything you wish. 

Create your own life and then go out and live

it with absolutely no regrets. 

Most importantly if you love someone tell them,

for you never know what tomorrow may have in store,

and learn a lesson in life each day you live.

Life’s journey is not to arrive at the

Grave safely in a well preserve body.
