Love & Friendship

En un podcast que escuché en W Radio dijeron esto. Me pareció oportuno, lindo y sobretodo verdadero. Creo que las personas que te topas en la vida están ahí por una razón, alguna vez hablé de aquellas personas que estás destinado a conocer pase lo que pase. Hay personas que no entiendes porque se van, sin embargo suelen ser personajes que te dejan lecciones muy importantes de vida. Y hay personas que se quedan para toda la vida, aunque no lo esperes, y te convierten en esa persona que siempre has debido ser.

Practiquen su inglés y despéjense un poco.

God doesn't give you the people you want. He gives you the people you need. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you are meant to be. People come into your life for a reason, a season or a life time. When you figure out which it is you know exactly what to do.

When someone is in your life for a reason, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty. To provide you with guidance and support. To aid you phisically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a Godsend and they are. They are for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a season, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

Lifetime relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Finalmente conocemos a los ganadores de la entrega número 82 de los premios de la Academia.
