It is a common misconception that every person we encounter in our lives are on account of mere chance and do not have a larger consequence.
We Don’t Meet Anyone By Chance or Accident
But nothing is purely accidental. It is a magical world we live in and there is this almost surreal phenomenon that occurs in almost everyone’s lives and yet eludes any kind of scientific or rational explanation. To say ‘everything happens for a reason’ would be to repeat an oft-used expression but it does not necessarily mean that it isn’t true.
Throughout our lives, we come across a lot of people coming from diverse cultures and backgrounds. While some of the connections that we develop stay with us forever and influence us to an extent that we could never even imagine, certain other people are immediately forgotten and we hardly remember them. But each one of those encounters, no matter how insignificant they might apparently seem have a larger purpose to serve. While some of them leave us with happy memories, others might be painful. But all of them teach us important life lessons and help us grow as a person.
Our lives comprise of both hardships and happy phases. Some experiences might devastate us while some might enrich us. And both such experiences are equally important as they make us what we are. It is really wonderful to think that we never know whom we are going to come across the very next moment.
Following are the five types of synchronistic you will have with people in your life’s journey:
1. The ones that remind us.
There are times in our lives when we deviate from our path without our own knowledge. There are people who come into our lives, inspire us and make us realize our true purpose. These people might often be temporary but their memory lasts forever.
2. Those who hold space.
This refers to the little inconsequential encounters that we have in a cafe, bus or the street. We indulge in small conversations with such people and forget them eventually.
3. Those who awaken us.
Sometimes the universe sends certain people in our lives who usually don’t stay but charge us with motivation, encourage us to dream and then go on in their own direction in their lives. But they are the ones who have a really deep impact on us and change us forever.
4. Those who help us grow.
We all have people in our lives who teach us a lot of things that we would not have been able to learn on our own. They give us important life lessons that help us evolve into better persons.
5. The ones who stay.
Although it might be difficult to find someone who’ll stay by your side forever, be it your partner, friend or family, they are the most valuable people you’ll ever come across. They give us a hand when we fall and help us grow. They will stand by your side in tough times and make you do things that you could only dream of. Be patient with the universe and sooner or later eventually you will come across someone who will stay. They will have dreams similar to that of yours and would always wish you well.
