Sometimes I question where we get our strength when the curve balls that life throws at us continue to come from unexpected places. They say that things often come in threes, but when that starts to multiply and they come in fours and fives, you wonder how you will find the strength to help all those that need you in their time of need? It is in those moments that you find out just how strong you are and exactly how much energy you can muster. There is a reason for that.

When we are connected through family and friendships, we form bonds that allow us to dig deep inside and be there for each other when they need us most. Even when it “piles on” you know that when you made that commitment to be a healthy part of a family or friendship, you were all in for the good times and the bad. You celebrate the up moments and support in the down ones. It is part of the true bonds that we form in life.

The thing about these unexpected moments are that you never know when you are going to need those very people to be there for you. We can never predict what tomorrow will bring and that is why it is so important to keep all our relationships healthy and alive. When you truly unconditionally love someone, you never have to think twice when they need your support. The sacrifices that our family and friends make to ensure that we have a better life means that they in turn deserve us to make the same sacrifices when they need us most.

I am a firm believer that we don’t travel life’s path with a certain group of people by chance. We are meant to be together and there is a reason for it. Some arrive early in life and some come later. However, they always come at exactly the time they were meant to be there. Showing mutual compassion for those that we care about and love are what makes our incredible lives just that much more awesome.

Have a great day and remember to be the reason someone smiles.
