Friendship

Hi there,

The year is soon coming to an end, so also a new month is unfolding...

In retrospect,i must say lots of people have passed through my life this year, many of which- i have learnt a lot from; some left footprints; some left without been noticed; some left on a sad note; some left with mixed feelings,above all relating with them was/is still a wonderful experience.

Memorable experiences/lessons have i drawn from the various relationships been in this year- let me seize this opportunity to appreciate the people who have passed through my life- having learnt that people who pass through our lives at a particular time are there for a purpose- some are there to cover/complement our weaknesses while learning, some are there to highlight our strengths, some are there just to comfort us, some are just there to guide us, some are there to make us comfortable in or be ourselves-such people have a sense of satisfaction each time they have the opportunity to perform these roles.

This article stated below and many more i have read, has taught me to fill a role in my friends' lives and also learn from their lives.

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. 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 wrongdoing 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 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 now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.They 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.Be lieve it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person 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.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Ciao!
