Respect Your Place!

Good Morning Blogfam!

I haven't always had the ability to recognize my place in someones life but the more I grow, the more I learn.  The time period in which you enter into a persons life or they enter into yours can make all of the difference in whether or not your relationship will be successful.  Sometimes circumstances have the ability to supersede a persons intentions.   Each and every one of our lives takes its own path and on that journey there isn't someone or something there saying don't do that yet you're going to meet so and so.  You just have to go with the flow and realize that a time may come when you have to RESPECT your place in someones life.  If someone that you know or are interested in is experiencing personal issues or has a lot going on then its best to just give them space to get things in order and not feel like it's an insult to get in where you fit in.  It wouldn't be beneficial to try and stake your claim to what you think your prioritization should be in their life, because it's unlikely that you will have the ability to determine the weight of the priorities that existed before you. 

To elaborate a bit on the concept of recognizing your place.  You could be at a point in your life where you feel that you are ready to settle down and work towards getting to the next level with someone.  Well circumstances aren't always perfect and its not guaranteed that you will meet someone that is on the same page with you at the same time.  However, there is always the chance that you will meet someone who you may care deeply for and could see yourself on the same page with, but they're just not there yet.  So this is where the gifts of patience, understanding, and maturity come into play.  You have to be patient enough to wait for the right time to present itself, you have to be understanding enough to allow the time and space that is necessary to rectify existing issues, and you have to be mature enough to determine who is worth receiving your gifts of patience and understanding.  You may not be a priority right now but it doesn't mean you're just an option either.  Therefore, I encourage anyone who may be experiencing feelings of uncertainty not to get discouraged because it probably has nothing to do with you, it's possibly just bad timing.     

Quote of the Day: "You won't always get what you want when you want it, but you will get it eventually if it's meant for you to have it."
