A Lesson in Life

,

A co-worker of mine showed this to me today. He said it was given to him during a rough period he was going through, and he still carries it around with him today. It's wonderful and I wanted to share it with you.

A LESSON IN LIFE
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they 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; your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

Sometimes things happen to you and at that time they may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON
Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad 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, if they be events, illness or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere, safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience, they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from...those lessons are the hardest and probably the most 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 to whom you open your heart to.

If someone loves you, love them back back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and open your eyes and heart to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

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, no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.
