My Life Story

Sometimes
people come into my life and I know right away that they were meant to
be there…To serve some sort of purpose, teach me a lesson or help
figure out who I’m or who I want to become. I never know who these
people may be but I lock eyes with them, I know that very moment that
they will affect my life in some profound way.

And sometimes
things happen to me at the time that may seem horrible, painful and
unfair, but in reflection I realize that without overcoming those
obstacles I would never realize my 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 our 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 I meet affect my life.
The successes and downfalls that I experience can create whom I’m, and
the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact they are probably the
most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts me, betrays me or
breaks my heart, I forgive them because they have helped me learn about
trust and the importance of being cautious to whom I open my heart.

If
someone loves me, I love them back unconditionally, not only because
they love me, but also because they are teaching me to love and open my
heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count. Appreciate
everything that I possibly can, for I may never experience it again.

Talk
to people whom I have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let
myself fall in love, break free and set my sights high. Hold my head up
because I have every right to.

Tell myself I’m a great
individual and believe in myself, for if I don’t believe in myself, no
one else will believe in me. Create my own life and then go out and
live it.
