Let Go and Live It

I think my husband knows it the very best, but I have a problem living in the past. I am constantly thinking about choices I have made in my life and wondering what would be different now if I would have made different ones. I know I could have and definately should have made different choices in the past but I also know that I wouldnt be who I am now if I didnt make my own decisions. There has definately been ALOT of learning in my life.

A friend of mine gave me this saying and it really made me rethink everything.


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 look eyes with them, you know that every moment that you are with them, 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 have never realized your potential, strength,will power or heart.

Everything happens for a reason!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 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 orbreaks your heart, forgive them becausethey 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 EVERYDAY 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 who you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, even if it doesn't seem right because you are too young or too far, just follow your heart. Surround yourself with those who make you smile, laugh, and make you happy.

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 then LET GO and LIVE IT!

Woah with the journal entry, just alot on my mind. But I am so very grateful to be where I am at in my life now - despite any poor decisions on my part and I would not change anything I have now for anything. The good, the bad and the ugly - I am exactly where I want to be. Now all I need to do is Let go and Live it.
