Good morning fellow humans! It is a beautiful crisp fall day and that means I am ecstatic! This week I hosted a dinner with friends as I sat on the couch laughing with them I thought about how lucky I was. Though recently I have been stuck on the couple of friends that left my life I have not focused on the ones that have stayed or entered. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the bad things that we don’t see the great things in our lives.
During my morning coffee and reflection time, I thought about this. Everyone has a path, think of it as you are on a train, when riding the train you have to make stops. When you make those stops people get on and find their seats and people get off to see family or vacation or whatever it may be. The train blows its horn and then starts its trip again you are still along for your final destination.
Now that we have this image in our head let’s look at it from a life perspective. Your life is a railroad line and you are on your life train, when you make your stops in life the people you need at that time get on and they sit next to you for the ride. When that person is done in your journey down the tracks and can no longer add value to your life they get off at thier exit. It’s not because they don’t like you or love you anymore it’s because it’s their stop. However, when that person gets off another person will enter the train at that stop that you need for the next part of your life that will be more of a help.
Just because people exit your life doesn’t mean you are a horrible person. It means that you do not need that person in your life anymore, they may need someone else right now and will come back at another stop. I think as humans we try to find the reasoning in everything that goes on, we must solve the puzzle. Sometimes you don’t have to solve the puzzle because honestly, it’s unsolvable. So just go along for the ride and make sure to few the scenery along the way!
