Own the Moment

 

I stopped trying to reconnect with people that I no longer have a connection with.   I have realized that I do not have try and force a connection with someone when the relationship has run its course.  I don’t need to feel guilty or think I’m a bad person when I don’t reconnect with an old friend or estranged family member.  Not everyone we feel something deep with is meant to remain with us forever.  Sometimes people come into our lives to teach us a lesson.    To teach us how to love or maybe how not to love.    How to honour our boundaries or to create our boundaries.    Everyone comes into our lives for a season, a reason or a lifetime but not everyone is meant to stay forever.  So don’t try and force a reconnection.  Take the meaning of that relationship or the lessons it has taught you because that’s what really matters.   You aren’t for everyone and everyone isn’t for you.     When you meet some...

 

Sometimes fate draws us to something or someone that we need as part of our journey through this lifetime to take us to a higher existence.
