“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn..."</title><description>“Bob Marley quotes&lt;br/&gt;
“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.” &lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The businessman was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The businessman complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied only a little while.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The businessman then asked why he didn&amp;#8217;t stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said he had enough to support his family&amp;#8217;s immediate needs. The businessman then asked, but what do you do with the rest of your time? The Mexican fisherman said, &amp;#8220;I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take a siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos; I have a full and busy life, señor.&amp;#8221;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="left"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The businessman scoffed, &amp;#8220;I am a Harvard MBA and I could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats; eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman, you would sell directly to the processor and eventually open your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually New York City where you would run your expanding enterprise.&amp;#8221;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The Mexican fisherman asked, &amp;#8220;But señor, how long will this all take?&amp;#8221; To which the businessman replied, &amp;#8220;15-20 years.&amp;#8221; &amp;#8220;But what then, señor?&amp;#8221; The businessman laughed and said, &amp;#8220;That&amp;#8217;s the best part! When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich. You would make millions.&amp;#8221; &amp;#8220;Millions, señor? Then what?&amp;#8221; The businessman said, &amp;#8220;Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take a siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.&amp;#8221;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="left"&gt;
&lt;div align="left"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fisherman, still smiling, looked up and said, &amp;#8220;Isn&amp;#8217;t that what I&amp;#8217;m doing right now?&amp;#8221;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;-Author Unknown&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.&lt;br/&gt;When you figure out which one it is,&lt;br/&gt;you will know what to do for each person.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;em&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When someone is in your life for a REASON,&lt;br/&gt;it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.&lt;br/&gt;They have come to assist you through a difficulty;&lt;br/&gt;to provide you with guidance and support;&lt;br/&gt;to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.&lt;br/&gt;They may seem like a godsend, and they are.&lt;br/&gt;They are there for the reason you need them to be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,&lt;br/&gt;this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.&lt;br/&gt;Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.&lt;br/&gt;Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.&lt;br/&gt;What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.&lt;br/&gt;The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some people come into your life for a SEASON,&lt;br/&gt;because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.&lt;br/&gt;They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.&lt;br/&gt;They may teach you something you have never done.&lt;br/&gt;They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.&lt;br/&gt;Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;&lt;br/&gt;things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.&lt;br/&gt;Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,&lt;br/&gt;and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.&lt;br/&gt;It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;
