In Our LivesIf in our lives we have lived with criticism we learn to condemn.If in our lives we have lived with hostility we learn to fight.If in our lives we have lived with ridicule we learn to be shy.If in our lives we have lived to feel shame we learn to feel guilty.If in our lives we have lived with tolerance we learn to be patient.If in our lives we have lived with encouragement we learn confidence.If in our lives we have lived with praise we learn to appreciate.If in our lives we have lived with fairness we learn justice.If in our lives we have lived with security we learn to have faith.If in our lives we have lived with approval we learn to like ourselves.If in our lives we have lived with acceptance and friendship we learn to find love and Non-judgement in the world.Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments, true greatness and sheer stupidity. All occur to test the limits of our 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.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.Often times in our lives we come across people who are there to help us in our life journey. 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. Other times we come across those who want to destroy our path or detour us from it. These people come in all forms, you never know who these people are for they may be your family, close friend or associate, 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.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 but sometimes it is just God's way of calling you back to him, to make you grow as a person, or maybe you have to experience that to pave the way for something much better.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. Have a heart of understanding because without understanding there can be no mercy, without mercy there can be no forgiveness. And without forgiveness how do ever expect to grow?"Problems will always be a part of life, and at times when you're down, when you're at your lowest point, talk to God. If you ask sincerely, he will enlighten you, clear your confusion, ease your pain, calm your fears, and heal your heart. It's not going to provide you an instant solution to your problem, but God works in mysterious ways, and as long as you walk with Him, and just trust and believe, the sooner you'll get to that place where you'll see everything clearly, and you'll finally begin to understand. Everything happens for a reason. You may not understand the reason now, but you will when the time is right. You don't realize, that no matter how you try to control things your way, if it's not meant to be, it's not going to happen. If you refuse to accept it and force it, you're only prolonging the inevitable. You'll only delay God's true plan for you…He has a plan for you if only you learn to be open and let go of the things that he wants you to let go of. So, stop manipulating things. A solution that is manipulated will not bring real happiness. For when you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.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. Open up yourself and you will see more. All those events you meet in life, be they little or major are there for a reason. Uncover them and they will lead you towards a new journey...Belief is a wish with an action plan. Manpower moves wrenches, horsepower moves cars, and the power of the mind moves the world.You can make of your life anything you desire. Create your own life and then go out and live it. Change your thoughts and you change your world. Positive thoughts equal positive results. Begin each day by sowing positive seeds...release all the negativity in your life for it stops you from accomplishing all that God intends for your life." Your life is a book read by many, understood by few, but lived by none but you."From My Heart To YoursMzGloria
