A Lesson for Life |
Dear Friends.
Now that you have had a chance to look at the VIRGO Sun Sign interpretation, you have had a chance to take a good look at ME and what makes me tick. I did not tell you in advance, but if you still have it, take a close look at it and you may understand me a little better. Yes, I am a VIRGO with all my idiosyncrasies, all my challenges on a daily basis trying to find answers to so many questions I have.
I will quote a wrriting by PAX which he had send to me and it gave me a lot of food for thought. (over 375 copies have been send out to all over the globe from a Buddy in Hawaii) Maybe there is something for you in the written words.
Sometimes people come into our life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach us a lesson or help us figure out who we are and who we want to become.
You never know who these people may be, your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a total stranger who, when we lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
Sometimes things happen to you and at that time seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strenght, will power or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck, illness, injury, love, lost momemts 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 road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience create who you are and even 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, 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.
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 high 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.
I hope you enjoyed reading this.
your friend
