Making the ConnectionWritten by Rosalyn Bronstein
Making ConnectionHave you ever had experience of meeting someone, and after a few minutes of conversation, settled into feeling of having known that person all you life? This sort of incident - an immediately strong emotional connection - is quite rare. It's happened to me on two occasions, and in both cases, resulted in long-term friendships. Why is there an instant connection with some people and not others? It seems that it is easier to relate to people who are open to wanting to get to know another. There is a certain chemistry that simply happens when individuals are tuned into each other. Both experience it simultaneously. There is also a school of thought that says we are destined to have certain people in our lives. Perhaps that's why some interactions don't seem to make a lot of sense. When we try to force relationships that shouldn't happen, end result is usually trouble.

Since escalation of international terrorist activity a few years ago, many of us have had an opportunity to re-evaluate relationships and reflect upon our lives. This can be a very difficult, and sometimes wrenching thing to do, but a necessary activity. Making this sort of emotional assessment takes us back to our core values. It helps us to appreciate people who have touched our lives in positive ways.Who you are is a reflection of people you have been around, in conjunction with circumstances and environment. These are usually family and friends - those who care about your physical, emotional, and spiritual welfare. Having a support system is an important aspect of developing a strong psyche. Have you ever wondered why a particular person has come into your life? Perhaps there's a life lesson for you to learn - compassion, patience, trust, dependability, etc., that was not possible to experience any other way. We frequently meet people who are destined to be pivotal to us through another contact. Being open to these opportunities can create an enriching endeavour.
