“In our life, some people come for a season, some for a reason, and some to share the journey”… I said as I recalled the old saying to answer a question…
…………………
Beautifully true…
Those who come for a season, come to enrich our life…to introduce us to the gamut of its shades! They care, love & share so that we can learn passion, togetherness and empathy…and they restore, value and inspire so that we can learn to dream, strive and create! These people help us open, explore and experience! They make memories for a lifetime…
Those who come for a reason, come to shape our life…to introduce us to us, with all our features & flaws. They pinch, hurt & betray to teach us patience, discretion and grace…and they stir, disillusion or destroy to teach us resilience, resolve & redemption! These people force us to introspect, rectify and evolve! They make a difference of a lifetime…
These two sorts of people should not be confused-as or wished-into being the third type! They come to us only to make us worthy & equipped for our destinations…to align our course…and to prepare us to be apt companions, to those who come to share the journey of life with us…who would hold strong, walk along and stand by our side…for a lifetime!
…………………
But, how to know…who is who?
Well! The truth is that somewhere deep inside…our soul knows instinctively! It’s just that our heart doesn’t want to acknowledge…as it (with its ‘infatuations & biases’) assumes the right to decide ‘who belongs to which category’.
But it simply doesn’t work that way… As, it is the destiny’s prerogative to decide, choose & send…and our calling to follow the omens!
After all…Only it knows what’s best for us!
