A Lesson in Life

[Lisa20]

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, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.

If someone hurts you, betrays you , or breaks you heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening 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. 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 either.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

Everything Happens for a reason because of the choices we make and the things we attract into our lives.... Nothing is predestined

So there's no free will? You can't have your cake and eat it too.

I say everything is predestined for 2 reasons

1. I believe Nostradamus predictions have and will continue to come through.
If a man from the mid 16th century can in no small feet accurately predict the future then thats predestined in my views.

2. God is all knowing and all powerfully, he knows what you are doing, have done and will do in the near to distant future.

Nostradamus wrote a lot and a lot of it was pure garbage.

2. God is all knowing and all powerfully, he knows what you are doing, have done and will do in the near to distant future.

So then God created some people just to condemn them to hell?

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

OK, so how can you eat cake that you don't have?
