Friends... Some will Come... Some will Go

but they have been with you for a purpose. I look back over all these years (okay so who is counting???) and realize that there have been so many people in my life and yet not one was or should have been insignificant. It's interesting... I love to encourage others and learn from others. I remember a moment in time when one of my colleagues in the corporate world was commenting on the behavior and actions of one of the "Senior Managers" and how in appropriate their behavior had been. There are character traits that we both want to micmic and those we definitely don't want to have anything to do with. I consider these all lessons and ones we don't want to miss or overlook. Heck some of these lessons we want to get the first time because it is so painful to repeat the assignment. Who is teaching these lessons? I think many times these lessons are given by those in our circle of influence. Have you truly thought about what you have learned today, what you have applied to your own path or have decided to leave along the roadside? In return what is it that you have given back? It might be a great exercise to discuss with your friends -- those today and those you might meet in the future.
