The essence of life….
Sometimes people come into your life and you know exactly why they are meant to be there, to serve as some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help you figure out who you are or who you are destined to become.
At times you may not know who these people may be but when you lock eyes with them, you will know at that very moment that they’ll affect your life in some profound way.
Sometimes instances happen that seem horrible, painful and unfair but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you wouldn’t have realized your potential, strength, willpower 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 heading to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet affect your life…..

for Everything that happens with a reason .
Here it is, i found it :
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress.
It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further. So to help the butterfly, He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract intime. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of it’s life crawling around with a
swollen body and shriveled wings.
It never was able to fly.What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly.
I asked for Strength…. …..And God gave me Difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom…… …And God gave me Problems to solve.
I asked for Prosperity.. …….And God gave me Brain and Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage….. ….And God gave me Danger to overcome.
I asked for Love…….. .And God gave me Troubled people to help.
I asked for Favors…… …And God gave me Opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted ……..I received everything I needed!
