The Greatness In Each Of Us

Good am Global Villagers:

Yesterday, the Founder of my professional social networking group, Urban Angels, LLC, posted a question on Facebook in reference to being in love with a special person that is not destined to be a life partner.  I received the text notification of the post while I was at the hospital visiting my special friend. All I could say to myself was, "Wow, I am affiliated with the right group at the right time in my life."

I am currectly dealing with this very real life situation. My special friend is a great man. He is caring, loving, considerate, passionate, giving, forgiving, honest, thoughtful, dedicated, committed, and he loves me. Yet, I know that despite of all of these wonderful attributes that each of us, whether male or female, want in a life partner he is not my destined husband.

Knowing who you are, trusting the greatness that lies within you, and following the Directed Path all come with a great price. Sometimes that price consists of the heart-wrenching renegotiation of the terms of certain relationships. Whether it is a childhood best friend, co-worker, or business partner, each of us will face the decision of letting go of an un-destined person, regardless of our feelings.

Out of the many lessons that my special friend has taught me, the greatest lesson is that just because someone is not destined to be a life partner does not discredit the greatness that lies within him/her. 

I want to encourage those of you who have given up on finding a life partner. Please take note that there are great people in this world. A part of following the Directed Path means that we have to guard ourselves by not jumping on the first train smoking, even if it does say, "Next Stop: Philadelphia." What if that Amtrak train is scheduled to stop at 30th Street Station, but the Broad Street Terminal is closer to your destination? Selah. (Pause and calmly think about that.)

I dedicate this blog to my special friend. I love and appreciate you! Why? Because you exude with greatness!
