Some words of wisdom.....


Here is a great e-mail I received from a very sweet, caring, smart person in my life. It really made me think and I think it could do some good for us all:


"Maybe"

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

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

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

Maybe... the happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes their way.

Maybe... the brightest future is based on a forgotten past; after all, you can't successfully go on in life until you let go of past mistakes, failures, and heartaches.

Maybe... you should dream of what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be. You only have once chance to do all the things you want to do.

Maybe... there are moments in life when you miss someone - a parent, spouse, friend - so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.

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 ever had.

Maybe... you should always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that something could hurt you, it will probably hurt the other person too.

Maybe... you should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is to simply keave them alone.

Maybe... 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. If it doesn't, be content with the fact that it grew in yours.

Maybe... happiness waits for all those who cry, all those who hurt, all those who have searched and all those who have tried. Only they can appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their lives.

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

Maybe... you should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.

And the last maybe... when you were born you were crying while everyone around you was smiling.
Maybe... you should try to live your life so that when you die, you are the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.
