A Lesson In Life....

There comes a time when you must stand alone. 

You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams. 

You must be willing to make sacrifices. 

You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved. 

Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged. 

There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities. 

Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better. 

Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by. 

Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life. 

Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way. 

Work hard at what you like to do and try to overcome all obstacles 

Laugh at your mistakes and praise yourself for learning from them 

Pick some flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature 

Say hello to strangers and enjoy the people you know 

Don't be afraid to show your emotions laughing and crying make you feel better 

Love your friends and family with your entire being they are the most important part of your life 

Feel the calmness on a quiet sunny day 

Find a rainbow and live your world of dreams always remember life is better than it seems 

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, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. 

If someone hurts you, betrays you , or breaks you heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to. 

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. 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 it (",)
