Have you ever wondered why, when, and how we meet the people that come into our lives? Isn’t it interesting how we can so easily connect with certain people? Sometimes we can meet a person for the very first time and we feel as though we have always known each other. We may meet this person and have an instant connection, only to find that after a short time period they are no longer in our lives. On the flip side of that, there are people that we meet, and from that very day forward, for countless years, they are in our lives.

Many of our connections with others manifest into deep relationships, friendships, and even business ventures. I believe that each person that shows up  in our lives is an opportunity for us to discover who we are at our very core. Each person offers us a glimpse of ourselves, almost like a mirror. In this life there are many lessons to be learned and many opportunities for growth. Each connection that we make, regardless of how we journey into that relationship, is important and should be honored.

You may not want to hear this, but often times the connections we make that challenge us, are actually very beneficial for our growth. As you move forward in your life, take the time to learn from every single person that you connect with. They are a gift, and regardless of what the wrapping may look like, they are there to guide you along your path. Appreciate the beautiful connections that you share with others as equally as those connections that create resistance. In the end we are all connected. This planet is a web of life and every mineral, plant, animals, and human  is a part of that web.
