Life doesn't end because of accidents or mistakes

Have you ever made a mistake so horrible, you thought for sure your life just couldn't go on.  It is a pretty overwhelming feeling when this kind of thing happens.  I just watched a video clip about a girl who made the decision one day to jump a train with her friends.  She had done it before, but this time it was different.  She actually had a feeling before she jumped that she shouldn't be doing it, and suddenly she was lying on the ground and realizing that both of her legs were gone.  She fell and the train ran over her legs.  Do you ever get those feelings of intuition, or "gut feelings" as they are sometimes called?  Usually when we get those feelings it is for a reason, but we don't always pay attention to them because we are caught up in a moment.  The most inspiring thing I heard that girl say in her interview was that "Life doesn't end because of an accident."  Life does not end because of our accidents or mistakes....it feels like it will, but it doesn't.  The beauty of life is that we have the choice to find positives in all of the negatives that are thrown at us.  Obviously there will be moments where we hurt over the consequences of our actions.  We will have days when we want to just sit and cry.  Crying is okay, and it is an amazing release of emotion.  Just realize that, with those tears , we can wash away the negativity and the sadness.  Move on one day at a time, and keep reaching for your dreams.
