Just want to share this to all the mylotters out there... I hope you'll like it....
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 to 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 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 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 to 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's 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. Believe 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.
Whether he/she is for a reason, a season or a lifetime thank him/her for being part of your life.

all i can say is that it is true, life is a stage and we are all performing on it. every one comes into our lives for some reason or the other. to hurt us to teach us to love us.

You raise a very correct picture about relationship, as a matter of fact many people come by for just a season to have a fling, to drown away some pain he/she got from another relationship-when he or she has got what they wanted, they just march on. In this case, he is around for a reason nd for a season-But the pillar of every relationship is endurance-when endurance becomes the guiding principle, then for sure reason and lifetime becomes core in relationships.

I agree if you can endure all then that's a good sign that he or she is for a reason and for a lifetime as well.
Thanks for sharing

This is a truth, I think. The person who is central to your life, the person you depend on most, is not always the same person. I used to think that if I could combine the best qualities of the men I had known I would have my ideal man! But each man in my life gave me something I needed at the time, and I hope I did the same for them, so this is a nice way of remembering friendship and emotional relationships. It means you always appreciate a good relationship, even if it is not a lasting one.

Hi paid2write
Each person is unique and I believe that perfect person doesn't exist, it's good to appreciate all relationships be it in the past or present been good or bad. Always be glad for everything.
