I believe ‘everything happens for a reason’. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when you realize they’re right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself. And sometimes good things fall apart so that better things can come together.
Sometimes we want all the pain, suffering, agony, miseries, and challenges to vanish and never torment us apart but that remains just a hallucination of reality. We should know that even after the darkest night, the sun rises again. There are people in our lives who relentlessly try to drag us down and break our self-esteem.
People come into your life and you eventually realize that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose. All humans make mistakes. Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in the reflection, you will find that without overcoming those obstacles you would never realize your full potential, strength, and willpower. My choices helped me realize that sometimes the hardest decisions a person can make will most likely lead to the best outcomes. What determines a person’s character aren’t the mistakes we make. It is how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses.
“Not everyone gets happily ever after. Life is real and sometimes it’s ugly and you just have to learn how to cope.
Even the bad experiences have something to learn from. They’re probably the most dominant ones. Nothing happens by chance or using luck. Illness, injury, love, and lost moments of greatness occur to test your limits and overcoming that makes you stronger every day. Without these tests, life would be like a smoothly paved road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
So make every day count! Hold your head up because you have every right to. Believe in yourself, if you don’t, your abilities will be caged forever. In this world devoid of life, you are the one who brings color. Please don’t allow anyone to make you feel less than what you are. Create your kind of life and live it with no regrets.
“Dream is not that which you see while sleeping, it is something that does not let you sleep.
