Are folks put in your path for them or you ?



My personal belief is that you can not have enough friends.  In reality, friends, not even a spouse or partner can be all things in your life, so that’s the value of having many friends !

 

Here’s the issue I have with folks.

You invite them to come out and join you for a social, and they won’t.  These are folks, that either you figure could use a friend, or maybe you just want to see them.

Don’t get me wrong, I know folks are busy.  And many folks are wrapped up in their families and want to be with them as much as possible.  Then there’s folks who have to work all the time; of have family who are sick and the must care for them.

 

The thing is, we need to take some joy time for ourselves; even if it’s only once a month.  And like I said,  no one can be your everything for you;  whether you realize it or not, that’s too much stress on one person.

And don’t be hurt by this, but folks need breaks from you too !  Need to have an opportunity to do something differently too !  Change the monotony !

 

But not only this, there are folks that are put in your path, that you are here to help.  And if you don’t get out, and meet these folks or be with these folks, your calling, your purpose, slips right by.

So sometimes, meeting new folks or being with folks, is not about you !  It’s about, you for them.

So think about it, next time someone invites you to join them for some fun or to get out.  This may be your opportunity, to help them !  That may be the reason you were asked, and they don’t even know it !

One of the best medicines is when you take some focus off yourself, and discover the joy you can bring in helping or being there for someone else.

Everything has a purpose … to as simple as, someone inviting you out to join them or hook up for dinner !
