Ilocano Essays: People who come into our life...


Sometimes people come into our life and we know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach us a lesson, or to help us figure out who we are or who we want to become.

We never know who these people may be - a roommate, a neighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even a complete stranger - but when we lock eyes with them, we know at that very moment they will affect our life in some profound way.
Sometimes things happen to us that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection we find that without overcoming those obstacles we would have never realized our potential, strength, willpower, or heart.

Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of our soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people we meet who affect our life, and the success and downfalls we experience, help to create who we are and who we become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.

If someone loves us, give love back to them in whatever way we can, not only because they love us, but because in a way, they are teaching us to love and how to open our heart and eyes to things.

If someone hurts us, betrays us, or breaks our heart, forgive them, for they have helped us learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom we open our heart.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that we possibly can for we may never be able to experience it again.

Talk to people that we have never talked to before, and listen to what they have to say. Let ourself fall in love, break free, and set our sights high. Hold our head up because we have every right to. Tell ourself we are a great individual and believe in ourself, for if we don't believe in ourself, it will be hard for others to believe in us.

We can make anything we wish of our life. Create our own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets. And if we love someone tell them, for we never know what tomorrow may have in store. Learn a lesson in life each day that we live!

Today is the tomorrow we were worried about yesterday. Was it worth it? If we fill our heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, we have no today to be thankful for.
