Has anyone else noticed that people seem to creep into your life without any expectation and then become the focus of so many things that you do before you ever realize that they have done so? Yes, I know it sounds confusing but really it isn’t. I am talking about the people that you meet that you never think are going to make a difference but then somehow they do. Yeah we have all met these people, but ever wondered how they find you, or better yet why they find you? Here is what I think:
The people that are like this in your life have found you for a reason; they need you in their life as much as you need them in yours. Yes, I do think that people find one another out of need. It may not even be a need that you are aware that you have, but it is there and these people find you in order to help you address that need. I have done this myself . . . I am drawn to people who are troubled and distant, who need a guiding force and a strong arm to lean upon with a stronger ear attached to listen. These people need me to be there for them, to help them, to carry them along their path while I need them to need me . . . I need to have a purpose and these people are just that. They need me and I need them.
I am missing an awful lot in my life and can’t even begin to imagine what I am missing that I am not realizing. I always thought that one day I would meet someone who would help me realize those things, help me along my way. Someone who would move the trees out of the way so that I can see the forest. Someone to help me see the larger picture that I need to be a part of and not just my small piece of what it is. So, have I found this person?
I guess anything is possible. I have not met them as of yet that I am aware of; however, I meet new people everyday and the relationships that I have with others grows every day. It is possible that someone I met here recently has the potential to be this person . . . But only time will tell that. So, I am waiting and waiting to see if the person I need in my life has finally found me or if the person that really needs me in their life I have finally found. No matter what the outcome of the new friendship that I have developed in the past few weeks it is safe to say that I have one again found a one of a kind person who has touched me in a way that no one else has been able to.
After all, how many of us take the time to stop and realize when these people enter out lives? Yes, I agree, not often enough.
