People come into our lives for a season, a reason or a lifetime. We've heard it many times, but we hardly know which level a person will be in our lives when we first meet them. When we are young we think our high school loves will be our husband and we will live happily ever after. We know all too well that is not usually the case. Life is full of lessons and we need all these people in our lives at one point or another to build and grow. Here's what to do and know about each phase of our love lives.

A Season - When a person comes into your life for a season they are there to give you something you've never experienced before. It could be adventure, to learn something new, to forgive your past, for joy, pleasure, etc. They are not meant to be in your life for a long time. When the time has come to an end, it is over. It isn't because someone did something wrong, it's simply because your season is over. Trust that you had value from that relationship. Then move on and enjoy life.

A Reason - When a person comes into your life for a reason they are there to help you get through something. It could be a painful issue, guidance, support, direction or emotional issue. This person is to help you get through that specific situation. They will not stay for the long haul. When the issue is resolved this person will leave. It could be on good or bad terms. Just let them go. They have helped you through that situation and their time is up.

A Lifetime - When a person comes into your life for a lifetime, the wounds cut deep, issues linger and it is hard to let go. Some lifetime relationships last a lifetime, while others end because neither person knew how to handle the lifetime person. These relationships teach you lifetime lessons. Things you always remember based on how you felt during the resolution time. These relationships are the hardest to get over, but if you do it right you will not have to get over it. You can be with this person for a lifetime.

Only you can determine if a person is a reason, season or lifetime relationship. The thing to remember is a lifetime person will always want what is best for you and will help you obtain it. A reason person will be there for a specific need then disappear. A season person is in your life for a short time, it will be fun and adventurous, but you know they aren't someone you could journey life with.

If you have ever wondered why someone you admired and had so much fun with just closed that chapter on your life or vice versa, don't be sad or ashamed, just realize they helped you through something. If you felt someone abandoned you after you went through a difficult time, just understand that was their sole purpose. If you felt like someone is always there for you after all these years, they are your lifetime person.

Learn from your mistakes, issues and accomplishments. Learn what people in your life will guide you and help you. Not everyone in your life is there to help so be careful who you allow in your private space. Protect your well-being like you would a child. Try to forsee the outcome like you do crossing a busy intersection. This journey called life is yours to explore. Do it with the people who you can help and want to help you back. You may even be a season or reason person for someone and not even know it. Just appreciate the life you've created and make it the best it can be. So happy to share this with you loving folks. Keep loving & living.
