"Are You Ready To Emmersed Yet?"

People Are Like Teabags
By: Author Unknown

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right
away that they were meant to be there. They serve some sort
of purpose, teach you a lesson, or help you figure out who
you are or who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be: a roommate,
neighbor, professor, friend, lover. Even a complete
stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know in
that very moment that they will affect your life in some
profound way.

Sometimes things happen to you that at the time 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 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, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat
road to nowhere... safe and comfortable, but dull and
utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, and the
successes and downfalls you experience, create who you are.
Even the bad experiences can be learned from. Those lessons
are the hardest and, probably, the most important ones.

"People are like tea bags - you have to put them in hot
water before you know how strong they are."
