"I believe everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn to let go. You believe lies, so that eventually you learn to trust no one but yourself. Things go wrong, so that you appreciate them when they're right. And sometimes good things fall apart so that better things can fall into place." ~Marilyn Monroe

Good morning! Today is an amazing day and I am going to make it just that. Something wonderful is going to happen today and I can't wait to see what it is! Each and every day of our lives, something good or bad can happen. But everything happens for a reason. There is not a coincidence for things happening. There is always some underlying lesson for you to learn when something goes wrong or something bad happens. Sometimes these things happen to us more than once because we simply didn't learn the lesson the first time around. 

You meet people each and every day of your life. These people are brought into your life, for a reason, either for a day, a month, a season, a year or a lifetime. They are here to help teach you something about yourself. The ones that are here for only a short time, usually teach you one lesson about yourself. This is usually something that you do not like. For example, someone comes into your life who does not know how to sympathy or compassion. This is to teach you that your sympathy and compassion either needs to be strengthened or you need to see what others are doing for a deeper lesson that usually only you can determine. 

There are no coincidences in this life. Everything happens for a reason. But that reason is up to you to learn what it is. I've been through so much in the past several months and I know there were reasons for everything happening exactly as it happened. As a result of what all happened, I am currently much healthier and happier than I ever was before. I'm just trying to wait patiently for the next few things to happen and hope they happen rather quickly :) but there is a reason behind all of it. I was miserable, unhealthy, gaining weight, upset, stressed, frustrated, all kinds of negative emotions. But now I've learned lessons about all of it, I've learned to let it go, I don't dwell on it, I just use it as examples here and there and I'm moving on with my life. And that is all anyone can do. Move on, learn the lessons and let it go. Life will continue to go on whether you are ready for it or not. And if you don't continue on, then things will be even more difficult for you.

Now it's YOUR Turn to Reflect on This: 
Are you stuck in the past? What lessons do you have to learn about major events that have happened in your recent past? What people have come into your life to help teach you lessons about yourself? Did you learn those lessons? Live your life one day at a time and live in the present. Focus on you and lessons you need to learn, not what someone else has to learn. You can't learn the lessons for anyone but yourself.

Today's Affirmation:
I am living an amazing life and loving each and every day.
