You don’t meet people by accident. There is always a reason. It’s either a lesson or a blessing.

Empowering daily reminder from Tunney Western: "You don't meet people by accident. There is always a reason. It's either a lesson or a blessing." ✨

I am a firm believer in this.

No one enters our lives by chance. When someone significant comes into our lives, we are usually prepared for them. Of course, many people enter our lives to teach us valuable lessons. Sometimes, these lessons are bitter and painful, but that doesn’t mean they are unimportant.

Here are six reasons why we shouldn’t take anyone we meet for granted:

1. **They Are Sent to Awaken Us**

When everything in our lives feels comfortable, we can become too accustomed to our routines and fall into autopilot mode. In these moments, the Universe may send someone to shake things up and open our eyes to new and extraordinary possibilities that we might otherwise miss.

2. **They Are Sent to Help Us Grow**

As we pursue our goals, we may need to make fundamental changes and shed the old versions of ourselves to become who we want to be. While growth can happen naturally, it often comes from someone who inspires us—someone specifically sent to guide us toward shaping our destiny.

3. **They Are Sent to Give Us Courage**

At times, we may face challenges that seem insurmountable, leading us to feel hopeless and discouraged. In these moments, the Universe sends people to encourage us and remind us to keep hope alive.

4. **They Are Sent to Remind Us of Something**

Some people enter our lives to remind us of things we've forgotten for a long time—like an idea, a goal, or a dream. They help us remember what’s important and guide us back onto the right path.

5. **They Are Sent to Hold Space for Us**

Some people come into our lives for only a short period, sometimes just a moment. These individuals may accompany us briefly but can still make a significant impact through a meaningful conversation. We may never see them again, but their presence holds value.

6. **They Are Sent to Stay with Us Forever**

Lastly, there are those special people who enter our lives to stay forever. They share a soul connection with us and are rare treasures. We should never take these individuals for granted. This group includes our closest friends, family members, and soulmates.

So, respect yourself and understand that everything from the Universe is a gift. Don’t dwell on the pain; instead, learn to recognize the lessons behind it.
