an email i received from keni sometime back... 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 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 overcoming those obstacles you would never realize your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test 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 whom 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 also because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count. Appreciate everything that you possibly can, for you may never experience it again. Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold you 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. Share this with anyone whom you believe has made a difference in your life May the peace, love and joy of the Lord be with you all. ~ take a listen to this: i'll be there by escape club Over mountains, over trees Over oceans, over seas Across the deserts I'll be there In a whisper on the wind On the smile of a new friend Just think of me And I'll be there Don't be afraid, oh my love I'll be watching you from above And I'd give all the world tonight to be with you 'Cause I'm on your side, and I still care I may have died, but I've gone nowhere Just think of me, and I'll be there On the edge of a waking dream Over rivers, over streams Through wind and rain I'll be there Across the wide and open sky Thousands of miles I'd fly To be with you I'll be there In the breath of a wind that sighs Oh, there's no need to cry Just think of me, And I'll be there
