范文：

　　Create Your Own Life

　　Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but upon reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you never would have realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.①

　　Illness, injury, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

　　If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.②

　　Make every day count.③ Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again.

　　Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and listen to what they have to say. You can make anything you wish of your life.

　　Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
