Welcome back to the podcast. My name is Joseph Clough and this is episode 854. And in today's episode,

we're kind of taking a bit of a reframe, a different look when it comes to people coming in

and out of our life for a reason, a season, or maybe a lifetime. That is what today is going to be about. Now, I heard this quote, or this

actually comes from a poem I found out, from one of my ex-girlfriends and because she kind of

reached out to me like a year or so ago and said it in a message.

And I found it really intriguing.

And then I thought, well, I haven't talked about this kind of subject.

And when I kind of look into things, it kind of makes me think.

So I wanted to kind of go into that topic to kind of figure out what does it really mean because there's

going to be people throughout our life who will come into life into our life I should say

will stay but they may have different meanings and on the one level we can think about it as

learnings, teachings.

Sometimes people are awakening or waking us up to make a change.

So even to the point, those people who did bad things can still cause us to wake up to our potentiality. So let's kind of talk about the first one, a reason, where some people come into our life for a

reason and it's usually a shorter experience.

It could be a simple passing, but it's a kind of a prompt.

It kind of causes us to kind of, like I said, awaken to something. And I'm not going to judge whether it's someone good or bad in this case.

Because like I said, sometimes people, have you ever had an experience where someone has come

into your life and has made you wake up to not

be like that?

Or to not allow someone into your life like that?

I think it happens more than once.
