Reason, season or lifetime

Picture this:
You wake up one day to a nice sunny morning and someone comes into your life...out of the blue and almost suddenly...Reaction – WHAT!

Initially you are lost...confused (partially) and apprehensive (majorly) as you aren’t aware of how to treat the sudden arrival of this person at the station of your life...Reaction – O! O!

As days pass...you get used to having the person around and sometimes wonder where he/she had been for so long....why didn’t our paths cross earlier?...Reaction – WOW!

Then just as you start enjoying their presence in your life it’s time for them to leave...Reaction – WHY?

Sometimes they give you a reason before leaving and sometimes they just walk away...
No matter how the story ends, they leave you with memories. Memories that give birth to thoughts. Thoughts you may have ignored in the past or thoughts that may strengthen your belief even more.

As humans we tend to spend a lot of time on endings...for eg. we concentrate more on the destination than the journey...or if a movie has a sad ending we often land up saying ...Oh! what a sad movie!.
What we fail to realise...that it’s the journey and not the destination that teaches us something worthwhile.

A wise man once said 'people come into your life for a reason, season or lifetime'...so true
What we need to understand is no matter how long or short the duration...or good / bad the experience...they come to leave an impression in our life...
An impression that can never be erased, no matter how hard you try. In fact you mustn’t even try...coz it’s their footprint on the path of your life...and every footprint is a sign of something they wanted you to know/ learn from.
You may call it destiny or chance but their presence in your life was just meant to be.

So when someone comes into your life (for a reason, season or lifetime) go with the flow of things...experience and enjoy your time together...listen to each other...say what yourmind thinks and heart feels...coz even if the ending isn’t what you imagined, you will always treasure the memories, and the thoughts they leave you with will stay forever.
