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.
