Not Just Sometime

"Not Just Sometime"
Sometime people come into your life, and you know right a way 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 what you want to become. You never know who this person may be: Your roomatre, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, or associate, your lover, family member, or complete stranger, who will affect your life forever, in some profound way!
Sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible, painful, and even unfair in reflection, you ecalize without overcoming those obstacles, you would have 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. Illnesss, Injury, love lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity, all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small test, if they were events, illness and relationship, life would be like a smoothly paved road, straight flat to nowhere! Safe and confortable, but too dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet who affected your life,m and the success and downfalls your experience, cieate who you are and even the bad experiences can be learned from!
Sometimes the bad experiences are the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you, brakes 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 or because what they can do for yo, but also because thay are taking you to love and opening your heats and eyes to things you would ahve never seen or felt without that poison!
Make every day count! appreciate every moment,a nd take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience again, talk to people you have never talked to before,a nd actually listen to what they are saying. Let yourself build friendship individuals with great qualities, and even allow yourself to fall in love with someone of great character that is honest, trustworthly, loving, kind, and is loyal. Be proud of youself, even if you are in a bad situation, because things will get better in due season. You'll understand it better after awhile. even if you are in a bad situation, maintain a positive attitude, don't judge people, be kind, and live your life always, not just sometimes.

Wow Troy this really opened my third eye. That's why your my husband... We help each other grow. I truly didn't realize I had been allowing my past to control my future, until I read this. It's utterly important to forgive and let go, acknowledging the lessons learned from said past experiences. I truly love your optimistic outlook.
