A Moment of Clarity

I was on my other love (Facebook) and came across a note posted by a friend. Here's what it said:

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 (anyway); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

This quote here, is what I like to refer as a timeless pearl of wisdom. It sums up every single encounter you have ever had with another human being. There have been so many people who have come into ur life- whether for a year in elementary school, every summer at camp, a semester of college, a short ride on the bus... People are constantly coming and going in ur life. I have another quote that a friend texted me that goes very well with this one. It goes, "God places people in your life for a reason. It is up to you who you decide to let stay, who to let go and who to fight for." I think that both of these quotes can help you when you are dealing with the loss of someone special. Its always a sad time when you have to let someone go. I am in the process of letting go someone that was very special to me. I have found myself questioning why this person came into my life in the first place, but that is a question that I may never have an answer too. Lately, I have found myself referring back to the these two quotes to help myself keep it moving. I hope that they will in turn help you too.
