Reasons for Being Friends for No Reason

There is a road from the eye to heart that does not go through the intellect. - Gilbert K. Chesterton

I had been thinking about this piece and wanting to track it down for a friend -- within a day or two -- someone amongst one of my social circles posts it. Thoughts are things.

"A Reason, A Season or a Lifetime"

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.
When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason, you need them to be.

Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON,
it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.
They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (any way); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost. - Gilbert K. Chesterton

Who's on First...?

Joy, rather than happiness, is the goal of life, for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one's identity as a being of worth and dignity. - Rollo May


Do you know who you are?

If so - relax and enjoy the journey...
If not - relax and enjoy the journey...

Turning on the Love Light

For a time I sat and pondered, Why had Love overlooked me?

Then I opened my eyes and saw love in light anew. - wendy

When one can stop focusing on how everyone else is doing it better or wrong, or how he is unworthy in some fashion, and decide there is something special or important about his or her way that he needs to figure out and develop...

At that time one begins a relationship with self that allows for a person to become the other he would like to have a relationship with. The magic happens when the Universe steps in to show what he has created as a mirror companion/s.

And they are beautiful... the variations.

Say Thank You - and unfold the bloom to admire your petals; then remember: you are not done. You are a living art work in progress… and so it goes. ;)
