Final salute to this blog

Dear Friends, clients and associates, this is most likely the last blog you’ll see on this site. I am so busy these days that I can’t Blog as often as I really should. I hope you will understand. My coaching and Keynote presentation business is about all I can handle these days.

I will encourage you to connect with me on Facebook, then join my Neil Wood’s Optimist Island daily quotes. IF you do that, then you will receive an inspiring, thought provoking and mood-altering quote directly into your email box ~ Daily! . I’ve been doing this daily since November and we have nearly 200 members in the Group.

Coaching and Friendships make a difference

The following is a reading that my yoga teacher shares with us occasionally. It reminds me of the power of coaching, friendships and relationships we need while we explore life. Enjoy and share!

People come into your life for a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.

They may seem like a Godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you never knew. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a Season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.

Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life. Whether you were a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime.

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. (forwarded from Neil Wood’s Wisdom file)
