Everything Happens for a Reason

Good Morning Everyone,

Somethings I have learned during my years in Qatar...

God Bless

Everything happens for a reason
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 or who you
want to become.

You never know who these people may be; your
roommate, your neighbor, professor, long lost
friend, lover or even a complete stranger who,
when you lock eyes with them, you know 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 horrible, painful and unfair, but in
reflection you realize that without overcoming
those obstacles you would never have realized
your potential, strength, will power of heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing
happens by chance or by means of good or bad
luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments or true
greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the
limits of the soul.

Without these small tests, if they be events,
illnesses or relationships, life would be like a
smooth paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe
and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life and
successes and downfalls you experience, they are
the ones who create who you are. Even the bad
experience can be learned from... Those lessons
are the hardest and probably the most 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 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. You can make of
your life anything you wish. Create your own life
and then go out and live it.

I wish you all the best in your endeavors as well as
struggles in life. Have a fighting spirit and never
hesitate to get back in the struggle!
