Tomorrow Is Not Promised

  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
  You never know who these people may be:
  your neighbor, child, long lost friend, lover,
  or even a complete 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,
  will power, or heart.

  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 and 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
  smoothly 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 many 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 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 either.
  You can make of your life anything you wish.

  Create your own life
  and then go out and live in it!
  Live Each Day As If It Were Your Last...
