They Make You Who You Are Today

I know people who feel like they’ve wasted years of their lives because of poor choices. They spent years in a relationship that was toxic, years with an addiction, years at a job where they weren’t fulfilled. But you have to realize, nothing you have been through is ever wasted. Your past experiences, good and bad have deposited something on the inside of you. Those challenges have sharpened you, to make who you are today.
My experiences did teach me to be more discerning about things in my life and has helped me to teach my grandchildren to strive for their dreams and be a good person and treat others with respect. Also to remember not to set goals that you can’t possibly reach. Set mini goals and each time you reach those goals it will bring you closer to the main goal. Life may throw curve balls at you delaying progress. Our motto is improvise, adapt and overcome. Never give up. The most important thing is to thank God and praise him for his and Jesus’ blessings on each of us and ask his help everyday. Let them work miracles in your life. ~ Lillian Shreves

Sometimes you meet someone,

Sometimes you meet someone, and it’s so clear that the two of you, on some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don’t know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something.”
