Tomorrow is not promised

Tomorrow Is Not Promised
Sometimes people come into your lifeand you know right away that they were meant to bethere,they serve some sort of purpose,teach you a lessonor help figure out who you areand who you want to become.
You never know who these people may be:your neighbor, child, long lost friend, lover, or evena complete strangerwho, when you lock eyes with them,you know at that very moment that they will affectyour lifein some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to youand at the time they seem painful and unfair,but in reflection you realizethat without overcoming those obstaclesyou would have never realizedyour potential strength, will power, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason.Nothing happens by chanceor by means of good or bad luck.Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatnessand sheer stupidityall occur to test the limits of your soul.
Without these small tests,whether they be events, illnesses or relationships,life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat roadto nowhere,safe and comfortable,but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your lifeand the successes and downfalls you experiencecreate who you are,and even the bad experiences can be learned from,In fact, they are probably the poignant and importantones.
If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks yourheart,forgive them,for they have helped you learn about trustand the importance of being cautious towhom 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 loveand opening your heart and eyes to thingsyou would have never seen or felt without them.
Make every day count.Appreciate every momentand 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 upbecause you have every right too.Tell yourself you are a great individual and believein yourself...for if you don't believe in yourself,no one else will believe in you either.You can make of your life anything you wish.
Create your own lifeand then go out and live in it!"Live Each Day As If It Were Your Last...Tomorrow is Not Promised"
