Maybe God Wanted us to Meet the Wrong People

I’m not even sure where I got this one, so unfortunately, I can’t give credit where credit is due. It is a very good perspective on people and how they affect us.

Maybe God Wanted us to Meet the Wrong People

Maybe God wanted us to meet the wrong people before
meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the
right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Maybe when the door of happiness closes, another
opens, but often times we look so long at the closed
door that we don’t see the one which has been opened for us.

Maybe the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit
on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then
walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.

Maybe it is true that we don’t know what we have got
until we lose it, but it is also true that we don’t
know what we have been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance
that they will love you back. Don’t expect love in
return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but
if it doesn’t, be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an
hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but
it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for
wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes
 you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day     seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so
much that you just want to pick them from your dreams
and hug them for real. Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go; be what you want to be,
because you have only one life and one chance to do
all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to
keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that
it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best
of everything; they just make the most of everything
that comes along their way.

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt,
those who have searched, and those who have tried, for
only they can appreciate the importance of people who
have touched their lives.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

The brightest future will always be based on a
forgotten past, you can’t go on well in life until you
let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone
around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die, you are the one
who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
