"Sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming these obstacles you would have never realized your true potential, strength, will power 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 to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless."
