Everything Happens for a Reason
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 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 never realize
Your potential, strength, will power or heart.
?
Everything happens for a reason.
Nothing happens by chance
Or by means of luck.
Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness
And sheer stupidity all
Occur to test 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 whom 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.
?
If someone loves you,
Love them back unconditionally,
Not only because they love you,
But also because they are teaching you to love
And open your heart and eyes to little things.
?
Make every day count.
Appreciate everything that you possibly can,
For you may never experience it again.
?
Talk to people whom you
Have never talked to before,
And actually listen.
Let yourself fall in love,
Break free and set your sights high.
Hold you 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.?
