Tomorrow is Not Promised


Sometimes people come into your life
And you know right away that they are meant to be there
They serve some sort of purpose,
Or help figure out who you are
And who you want to become

You never know who these people may be;
Your neighbor, child, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger
Who, when you lock eyes with them
You know at that very moment that they will affect your life
In some profound way

And sometimes things happen to you
And at the time they seem 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 or bad 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, whether they be events, illnesses, or relationships
Life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat 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 up 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 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 will believe in you either
You can make of your life, anything you wish

Create your own life
And then go out and live in it
Live each day as if it were your last
Tomorrow is Not Promised..

“Fall seven times and stand up eight.”
- Japanese Proverb


“In life one cannot awaken often enough the sense of a beginning within oneself. There is so little external change needed for that since we actually transform the world from within our hearts. If the heart longs for nothing but to be new and unlimited, the world is instantly the same as on the day of its creation and infinite.”
