Relationship building - Random thoughts!

People come into our lives for different reasons.....some because we let them, others because they want to be (yea right) and some we absolutely have no say in the matter. (lol). This write up is however about our built relationships - the ones we can choose and have chosen! So apart from our immediate family members- father, mother, siblings and other extended members. Do you actually look back to how initially we were strangers whom circumstances brought together (school, jobs, religious activities, mogbo mo branch things, commercial activities, etc) then we became acquaintances - our daily lives may have been intertwined and before we knew it we became very good friends or even lovers (winks) 


The people we consider in life as our 5 and 6, personal persons, even our spouses started out this way. I mean sometimes, I try to remember how my journey with my husband started and wondered if someone asked or told me on the first day I saw him that he would become my knight in shinning armour - what would my response have been? Hmmm, you want love story abi? Not now......

How do we build relationships?? Some people come into our lives by accident or should I say they are predestined to be in our lives. Some people are forever just gonna be someone we knew or went to school with, while some will impact our lives in a way that we will never forget? What makes the differences in these categories of persons? Does it have anything to do with our attitudes to them? I think back about the people that I have met in my twenty something years and wonder what made them strike a cord and enter my never to be forgotten list? What triggered my decision to become closer to one person and not the other?

Questions to ponder on - What has been the driving force for the relationships that you have built over the years? How did you choose your friends? Have you impacted the lives of your friends in a positive way?

What a way to start the week huh? I know right.....Stay blessed.
