Everything Happens for a Reason

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by
employing available good luck.  Illness, injury, love, lost moments of
true greatness and sheer stupidity all happen to test  your soul’s
limits. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like
a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be comfortable
and safe but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet who affect
your life, your success and mistrials, help to create who you are and who
you become. Even negative events can become learning experiences when we handle them right.

Fact is, they are probably the most important/ poignant 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 when you
open your heart.  If someone loves you, love them back—and make it
unconditional, not only because they love you, but because, in a way, they
are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to the real
world.
