It’s a  great phrase: you know people for a reason, season or a lifetime.

Instantly people you know either now or from the past fall into place.

The phrase might provide you with an appreciation of:

• Why someone or a situation was short lived
• How you are  better for knowing someone or being in a certain situation, learning more about either them or you
• Who & what is positive for you
• What you have learnt from challenging people or situations

For the most past, the phrase allows for an honest appreciation of people & circumstances.

Now consider, what are you to the people & situations around you? Can you be honest enough with yourself?

Do you know:

• Why you have seasonal, situational or short-lived experiences?
• Why you have a lifelong bonds?
• What is the purpose, benefit or experience you bring to people or situations around you?
