All things happen for a reason

Sometimes people come into your life
and you know right away
they were meant to be there;
to serve some sort of purpose,
teach you a lesson or help figure out
who you are or want to become.

You never know who these people may be but 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 at a time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming these obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, or will power.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck, illness, injury, love or lost moments of true greatness.
All occur to test the limits of your soul.

Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because 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 to open your heart, and
eyes to little things.

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.

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, no one else will believe in you.

Create your own life and then go out and live it.

If you take your eyes off your goals,
all you see are obstacles.

Play like a Child

Spontaneous, free play -- whether it's chasing butterflies, playing with "true toys" like blocks and dolls, or just romping on the floor with mom and dad -- often is sacrificed in the shuffle, a new academy report says.

Numerous studies have shown that unstructured play has many benefits. It can help children become creative, discover their own passions, develop problem-solving skills, relate to others and adjust to school settings, the academy report says.

I think this is great to think about. We all stress out about what we have to do for tomorrow, but what we should be doing is playing outside or rolling around with laughter. Think about it when you were a kid what did you love doing most? Playing with your parents or runing around till you crashed at night. We need to get back to that childhood. Just because we have grown doesn't mean there is not a child inside of us.

Just something to think about..
