Survival of the simplest … why struggle for existence!!!

Not a single person is born great. Greats are the circumstances they go through in their life, the challenges they face. Person showing high spirit of thought and action under challenges are counted as greats and their deeds are counted as milestones.

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 to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be; possibly a roommate, a neighbor, a co-worker, longest friend, lover or even a complete stranger…; but when you lock your eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

Some people come into your and our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to a new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make their shy more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for a while, leave footprints in our hearts and, my oh my!!... We are never ever the same.

And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potentials, your high-spirits, your will-power. Everything happens for a reason; nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Every effect follows a reason. It’s now on our part of thought and action to identify that cause-effect relationship. Illness, injury, lost moments of true greatness or even sheer stupidity – all occur to test the limits of your soul, the extent of your patience and endurance. Without these small tests, whatever they may be life would be like smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable but dull and utterly objectless, extremely pointless – no motion, no emotion as well. The people you meet who affect your life and the success and downfalls you experience help to create the person who you become.

Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant an important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart just forgive them; not because you must be ever-forgiving but because they have helped you to learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open up your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally; not only because they love you but because in a way they are teaching you how to love, be loved and how to open up your heart and eyes together to things that approach you. Treasure the people that you love and don’t be afraid to let them know how much you care.

Make every day count. Appreciate your every moment and take from those moments everything you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that 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 since you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself it would be hard for others to believe in you.

You can make your life anything you desire under the domain of reality. Create your own life. Then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
