Every single meeting and chance encounter serves a greater purpose. Absolutely nothing happens by chance!

Sometimes people come into our lives who are not meant to be forever. Sometimes they are intended only to teach us a lesson or something along those lines. Are you open to these experiences and all that comes with them, even the pain?

Some of the paths we experience are rougher than others, but that is okay. All of the roads we travel are essential to our life journey. Life is truly a magical mystery. Sometimes, if we are aware, we notice that the Universe helps us when we least expect.

Here are some possible encounters to learn from:

1. Those meant to awaken us.

Sometimes people or things come into our lives that are meant to create a point of stopping for us.

They will not allow us to move forward without realizing that change is needed. Nothing ever goes according to our plans, but everything goes according to the Universe’s plan.

2. Those who remind us.

Sometimes in life, we come across people who are supposed to remind us of the path we are meant to be on.

These people are often temporary but leave a lasting change inside your soul.

3. Those who help us grow.

Some people are meant to help us grow as a person.

They teach us things we would not have been able to do on our own.

4. Those who hold space for us.

Sometimes some people come into our lives who are meant to hold space for us.

They make small talk, and most of the time we don’t even get their names. This could be a stranger on a bus or even a worker in a coffee shop.

5. Those who stay

When we are ready, the Universe will give us someone who will stay with us forever, someone who is our fate. 

This person will be all that you thought they would be and more. You just have to be patient. We also encounter many individuals who stay when it comes to lasting friendships and close family. 

What does it really mean to be of service? Most view service as volunteering somewhere or even offering your time to help someone just because they are seen needing it. In true reality, service can be both of these things depending on where your heart has placed intention. But overall service is service to love. Recognizing that within the one, any service to another is service to yourself. For all we are is love. It is being proactive, being of assistance to your brothers and sisters simply because you are blessed with the vessel to do so.

Service work is meditation, it is the intention, and it is transformation. It is meditation in the way that you clear your mind and find the flow of being in joy, and what other creative ways you can perform the task at hand. It is the intention in the way that you move the energy you’re working with. If you are digging a hole or gardening, are you perceiving it as work, dreadful? Or does every scoop or plant buried become a step for love, a piece of creation falling into place perfectly, divinely? It is the transformation in that you are creating, transforming a soul, plot of land, or yourself into a beautiful and grander creation. It can also be a transformation of density. Envisioning each movement of service as density leaving and making room for pure love light to enter.

Humanity being the single entity that it is, service to the whole is actually mandatory to maintain the health and unity of the one. So whether you are moving a single rock from point A to point B or running a food drive for thousands, if your intention is with love and you bring in your divine intelligence it will be benefiting the one all the same. Always push forward with love for humanity and your service can never go wrong. Even your very breathe cycle intended with love and light is of service to Oneness,  for you love yourself enough to breathe and transform that energy into love in action.
