Along the path of life we magnetize or attract to ourselves many things–experiences, relationships, information, emotions, behaviors, and more. As we journey through our life, we resonate more with certain things, places and people, and along the way we pick up things that become part of who we are and that adds to the uniqueness of us.

For many this is an almost unnoticeable process. We tend to go through our lives not keenly aware of the impact of our experiences on ourselves and changes that are constant. Many take for granted the people put on their path, not recognizing even the impact of a quick encounter with a stranger.

Yes, sometimes people come into your life (and you into the lives of others) and you know right away that they were meant to be there. There is no coincidence. People do not just randomly appear in our lives. There is always a reason and a “meant to be.” 

Sometimes we are meant to connect with a person and open up to them in order to grow as a person. Sometimes, we are meant to meet someone to inspire them or to meet someone to become a better version of ourselves.

All our experiences and the people we encounter are, some would say, part of the bigger picture.  A random person coming into your life could very well be part of your life path. There are people who are destined to be in our lives.

Each of us is born with unique talents, ideas, personality and mentality—but we are all connected. As we grow though life there are some people that may have a missing piece that we may need or that we have that they need. There is something universally powerful guiding us—that guides us in the directions we are destined, and the people we briefly encounter, the people that are more constant in our lives, relationships from the past, etc., all contribute to who we are and what we are to accomplish in life.

It is important to keep in mind that while our higher Self and powers will provide us with opportunity to bring important people in our lives, there are also externalities or forces that enable distractions. It is equally important to be cognizant of the people appearing in your life and to follow your instincts if they are there to positively contribute to your life or if they are a distraction or a low vibrating force.
