Being grateful for all those you meet in life, no matter what background or circumstances they are facing, is certainly one way to receive that wonderful gift of insight into your self, to grow and fulfill your soul mission, as well as hopefully contribute to the joy of another and yourself.

The way in which you interact with people may just reveal more about you than a wise old psychic, as long as you're prepared to read and heed the signs that surface within you. This also includes people walking in and out of your life causing either joy or suffering — from those close intimate relationships to a stranger in the street.

It is all good if you can see it this way, for people can be helpful to you on a deeper level as external mirrors to help guide you to see aspects of your soul that you may otherwise never have noticed, giving you the opportunity for correction or simply to learn more about yourself. After all, learning about thyself is often the first step to reaching your full potential, might that be what you are here for?

Furthermore, if you could thank people for your internal upsets, rather than blame or lash out, this would be a big step in your development, as opposed to harbouring ill feeling and hurt for another's intentional or thoughtless words or action.

If not now, possibly in time with practice as you gain more confidence, trust and knowledge in yourself, learning to see another's actions as being all about them in addition to what you can positively take on board to improve yourself. Every moment with every person is an opportunity to learn more about you and what you are here for, and hopefully not just to get.

Is life simply about randomness, chance, spontaneity, luck, supposed safety and security or may it be about free will, dynamic scenarios, definite and specific timings and events that lead you to a predefined destiny, a path you decided to embark upon before your were incarnated?

Well, it's all a bit of a mystery for us humble souls, however according to some spiritual teachings what you consent to before you are born is what you receive during your time as a mortal. Both good and bad and all the mystery in between. Even such things as contracts with people you have met and are about to meet are pre-planned, giving you the lessons needed to make you whole. Just when you thought you did all the controlling on this Earth plane, think again.

So for everyone of these contracts you will experience, whether perceived as good or bad, it is all previously written and all meant to be at the right time for the right reasons without fail or accident. Of course you still have free will to make any decision you wish, however, it is the type of decisions you make that will keep you on your path, whether you are aware of this correctional mechanism or your prescribed path.

If unclear about your path feeling as though you have possibly deviated of course, it maybe helpful to learn about archetypes giving you a greater understanding of who you are, guiding you intuitively toward what might feel more appropriate for you, quite often in contrast to the past and what others expect of you.

Take the time and effort to avail yourself of the opportunities to find that illusive treasure that may otherwise never come about. Possibly a hard task at times, but who planned your journey to be easy anyway?
