EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON
EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON
BY: DOMINIQUE RICE
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, your neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger who when you lock eyes with, you know that they will affect your life in some profound way. Sometimes things happen to you that at the time seem horrible, painful, and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without these obstacles you would have never have realized your potential, strength, and will power of heart. Everything happens for a reason!! Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments or true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of the soul. Without these small tests, life would just be like a smooth paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. The people you meet who affect your life, successes, and downfalls you experience, are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from, and though they are the hardest, they are also the most to important.
If someone hurts you, betrays you, or even breaks your heart… FORGIVE THEM!! For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious of who you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back for 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 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 because you can make of your life anything you wish!
