Everything Happens For A Reason:
Sometimes people come into your life
and you know right away that they were meant to be there...
to 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 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 the time that may seem
horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that
without over coming those obstacles you would have never realized
your potential, strength, will, power or heart.
Nothing happens by chance or by means of good 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, life would be like a smoothy 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 to.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally,
not only because they love you, but because they are teaching
you to love and 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.
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen.
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 believe in yourself,
no one else will believe in you.
Create your own life
and then go out and live it.

A warrior knows that his finest masters are the people with whom he shares the battlefield.
Asking for advice is dangerous. Giving advice is even more of a risk. When he needs help, he tries to see how his friends resolve - or fail to resolve - their problems.
If he seeks inspiration, he reads on the lips of his neighbor, the words his guardian angel wishes to impart to him.
When he is tired or lonely, he does not dream of distant men or women; he seeks those by his side, and shares his pain or necessity for comfort - with pleasure and without guilt.
A warrior knows that the most distant star in the Universe manifests itself in the world around him.
Knowing how to ask for help
When he suffers some injustice, a warrior generally seeks to remain alone - so as not to show his pain to others.
This behavior is both good and bad at the same time.
It is one thing to allow your heart to gradually cure its own wounds. Another is to remain in deep meditation every day, afraid of appearing to be weak.
Within each of us there is an angel and a demon, and their voices are very similar. Faced with a difficulty, the demon nourishes solitary conversation, by showing us how vulnerable we are. The angel makes us reflect on our attitudes, and sometimes uses someone else’s tongue to manifest itself.
A warrior balances loneliness and dependency, with the help of others.
Thank you for sharing those thoughts with us! I truly needed those lines to remind me what it takes to find and follow my own path in life. Thank you!
The Lord only demands of us
what is within our capabilities
"Give me the calmness,
to accept things,
that I can’t change;
the courage,
to change things,
that I can change;
and the wisdom,
to distinguish one from the other.
Gib mir die Gelassenheit,
Dinge hinzunehmen,
die ich nicht ändern kann;
den Mut,
Dinge zu ändern,
die ich ändern kann;
und die Weisheit,
das eine vom anderen zu unterscheiden."
"Jumala suokoon minulle
TYYNEYTTÄ
hyväksyä asiat, joita en voi muuttaa.
ROHKEUTTA
muuttaa mitkä voin
ja VIISAUTTA
erottaa nämä toisistaan."
