To You, Becky

Been watching 恶作剧2吻 on Tudou. How many episodes are there? Episode 16 is not uploaded yet. Maybe not air on tv yet.

This post is for you, Becky.

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 help figure out who you are or who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be but when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, 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 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, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and 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 because 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 to open your heart and eyes to little things. 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 else will believe in you. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

“If you take your eyes off your goals, all you see are obstacles.”

Any other story for you.

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?” Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.”

He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air. “Well,” he replied, “What if I do this?” And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. “Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went into the air.

“My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.”

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in God’s eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him. Psalm 17:8 states that God will keep us, “as the apple of His eye.”

Thought: The worth of our lives comes not from what we do or who we are, but by whose we are! You are special – Don’t ever forget it!

What I learned from Noah’s ark.

  1. Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.

  2. Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone might ask you to do something REALLY big.

  3. Don’t listen to critics – do what has to be done.

  4. Build on high ground.

  5. For safety’s sake, travel in pairs.

  6. Two heads are better than one.

  7. Speed isn’t always an advantage. The cheetahs were on board, but so were the snails.

  8. If you can’t fight or flee – float!

  9. Take care of your animals as if they were the last ones on earth.

  10. Don’t forget that we’re all in the same boat.

  11. When the doo-doo gets really deep, don’t sit there and complain – shovel!!!

  12. Stay below deck during the storm.

  13. Remember that the ark was built by amateurs and the Titanic was built by professionals

  14. If you have to start over, have a friend by your side.

  15. Remember that the woodpeckers INSIDE are often a bigger threat than the storm outside.

  16. Don’t miss the boat.

  17. No matter how bleak it looks, there’s always a rainbow on the other side.

  18. “Stop what you are doing, and do what God says!”
