Today’s insight journey led me to the idea that sometimes it is only after spending time with someone that we realize why that person was brought into our life. There are times when we receive a sense immediately (whether right at the moment of the first encounter or shortly thereafter) of why someone was brought into our life – maybe that person is the new business partner that we have been hoping for, the new friend that we have been in need of, or even the new contact that will lead us to the opportunity for which we have been waiting.
And there are other times when it is only after spending time with someone that we are truly able to gain a sense of why that person is in our life, be it through long conversations, participation in activities that address shared interests, or supporting each other via other endeavors. The point is that sometimes we may not experience initial sensations that indicate why a person is in our lives and whether or not that person’s presence is a good thing.
