Let Go and Live It

Sometimes people come into your lifeand you know right away that they weremeant to be there... to serve somesort of purpose, teach you a lesson orhelp figure out who you are or who youwant to become. You never know whothese people may be but when you lookeyes with them, you know that everymoment that you are with them, theywill affect your life in some profoundway. And sometimes things happen toyou at the time that may seem horrible,painful and unfair, but in reflectionyou realize that without overcomingthose obstacles you would have neverrealized your potential, strength,will power or heart.Everything happens for a reason!Nothing happens by chance or by meansof good luck. Illness, injury, love,lost moments of true greatness and sheerstupidity all occur to test the limitsof your soul. Without these smalltests, life would be like a smoothlypaved, straight, flat road to nowhere,safe and comfortable but dull andutterly pointless.The people you meet affect your life.The successes and downfalls that youexperience can create who you are, andthe bad experiences can be learnedfrom.... In fact, they are probably themost poignant and important ones.If someone hurts you, betrays you orbreaks your heart, forgive them becausethey have helped you learn about trustand the importance of being cautiousto whom you open your heart. If someoneloves you, love them back unconditionallynot only because they love you, butalso because they are teaching you tolove and open your heart and eyes tolittle things.MAKE EVERYDAY COUNT! Appreciate every moment and take from it everythingthat you possibly can, for you may neverbe able to experience it again. Talk to people who you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, even if it doesn't seem right because you are too young or too far, just follow your heart. Surround yourself with those who make you smile, laugh, and make you happy.Break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. Create your own life then LET GO and LIVE IT!
