There are some that come into your life even before your physical manifestation. You are usually hormonally designed to love them, and most of the time their relentless efforts to give you the best, no matter what, makes you want to love them unconditionally. We hang on to them. till we sorta figure out the person we are; With the most invaluable lessons learnt and priceless love received from them as our two crutches, we move on to explore the purpose of our lives; Some of us choose to be grateful and some us shrug it off as “they just did what they had to do”.

There are some people that come into our lives sometimes after, rarely together and sometimes a little before we stepped into existence. To some of us they are friends and sometimes over protective siblings, but to most of us they are both. The special bond that we share with them seems almost surreal. They love and support us for what we are and not for what we intend to become. Some of us opt to retain them as lifetime relationships, and some of choose to lose them in the sands of time.

There are some people that come into your life at some point of time, and totally sweep you off your feet. They often make us wonder how we ever existed prior to their arrival. They stay with us through a lot of good and bad…just when we start believing that we can never make it sans them, BOOM they choose to leave. It seems like Apocalypse; However, since everything is a matter of time, it doesnt take too long to realize your take away from the relationship. They would have left behind, some of the most precious memories and lessons that manages to put a lot of things into perspective. They did what they had to do - the purpose was met.

There are some people that come into your life, promising a lifetime of happiness. Only a few of us recognize ‘em, a fraction of us take that extra chance of sharing our lives with them and most of us end up searching eternally. Blessed are those, who can find that one person that connects to the very core of their being, and for the rest of us, they remain a quest….

There are yet some that quitely slide into your life and grow on you even without you realizing it. They are right behind you even in the most awkward moment of your life, and you know you can count on them. They influence you, love and support you for no apparent reason or may be their purpose was to make you understand your worth. No matter what it is…I have chosen to be immensely thankful to everyone that had and is playing a part in my life, irrespective of the purpose or the period of time. Likewise, I am also aware of my part and I intend to play it well…:)

Everyone is indispensable, Everything has a purpose…There are lessons everywhere!

You might believe me if I said “You are limited only by your beliefs”,

But would you believe me if I said you are where you are in your life only because you haven't learnt your lesson. Dr. Robin Smith, a famous American psychologist sounds pretty convincing, I must admit.

The basic ideology of her work is that we each are a bundle of often unspoken lessons learned as children and that we’re not done growing up until we acknowledge and understand the messages of our upbringing. She also says, each and every life altering experience that we go through is an incomplete lesson, unless you learn and identify with the purpose.

If you come to think about it - Don't we all often find ourselves in the same detesting situation time and again?

Don't we all often end up associating with the same kind of abhorrent characters in the professional environment over and over?

And, we also find ourselves falling for the same kind of man/woman, we swore to God that we'd never ever want to deal with again.

The list is endless ..

All these experiences are not just coincidences; they are the reflections of YOU ' the "you" that has been molded by the total ignorance or misinterpretations of the life lessons. In short, we have only two choices, we could either be clear about our take-away from each and every experience because all the lessons are tacit in nature or  we' could train ourselves to be at ease about toiling in the same vicious circle.

So now on I would like to live out this theory, not because I want to make sure it works, but because it sure has helped me to view my past life experiences as incomplete lessons, which otherwise would make life difficult to be lived in the "now".

On a lighter note ' Due to the queasiness that I'm goin through these days, my husband irons his shirts in a hurry in the mornings just before leaving to work. He usually does such a bad job of it that I threatened him today "If you don't learn ya lesson, you might end up doing the same for the rest of your life". Did I tell you that he's a Quick Learner?
