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, and who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be: your neighbor, child, long lost friend, or even a stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life, in some profound way.

And sometimes things happen to you, and at the time they seem painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize, that without overcoming those obstacles, you would have never realized your potential strength, or your hearts desire.

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, as well as experiencing sheer stupidity; all occur to test the limits of your soul.

Without these small tests, whether they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a 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, create who you are, and even the bad experiences can be learned from; in fact, they are probably the poignant and 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...

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love, and opening your heart and eyes 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...

Hold your head up, because you have every right too. Tell yourself you're a great person and believe in yourself... for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.


Live Each Day As If It Were Your Last... Tomorrow is Not Promised."Create your own life and then go out and live in it! "

Grand advice.

I live for the Promise I became,,To love my neighbors and friends, to be open to always hear, to treat others as they would treat me,,and to love all of this world and its peoples w/o any disrespect of who,what,where,or why others might not...lol

Your words here should be CHISELED into every humans heart.

Very Beautiful passages of love and kindness...

Encouraging, thank you.

thank you. I hope my words will help you.

Thanks for the compliment. Whatever we do, we must do it with kindness and love..

This is so true you have layered out everything I've dealt with over the past weeks in therapy. That if I don't believe in myself, how would ppl believe.
Just like with my writing if I don't believe I'm good at what I'm doing so how can I expect for a agent to believe in me as both author and person.
Great advice.

precisely! Glad to hear that my writings helped you to realized something. I am not a composer but I really love to write phrases, lessons in life and sometimes do poem as well.

All your comments help me to continue writing..because sometime I keep it to myself and not sharing it.
