What are the things that you like in the person/s you have in your life and what help you to remain stick to them through good and bad?

Reason, Season, Lifetime

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  for 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 you 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 an  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 and 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 is  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.


I find this one of the most truly inspirational writings I keep.  All our relationships are important.  Honor and love all relationships that enter our lives and we will grow spiritually.

Beutifully said Spiritalk ;)

In pursuit of Spiritalk's reply, may I suggest you read something by Michael Newton on the agreements and plans we make with others before we come into this life.
The amount of planning, care and support that goes into anyone's life is truly humbling.
Obviously we forget all that in this life and, perhaps painfully, have to re-learn it (if we can).
Not only is nothing random but even bad experiences are intended to benefit us.
You are right to raise the question, the answers may be a lifetime's work.

If we don't remember what we are supposed to have learned, what is the point?  The earth plane is about lessons - the ones we can accumulate and use as stepping stones to more and more in our knowledge.  Why have something as a blueprint we can't even remember anything about?
