It\u2019s the same thing I go through every night before going to sleep\u2026<\/p>\n
It also happens quite often while I\u2019m lying in bed\u2026<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s most likely happening to you as well\u2026sometimes even to the point where you may have difficulty sleeping.<\/p>\n
But then other times it\u2019s responsible for getting the best night of sleep you\u2019ll ever have.<\/p>\n
And the strange part of it\u2026<\/p>\n
They\u2019ll be times when you have tears in your eyes because of it.<\/p>\n
What I\u2019m talking about is\u2026thinking.<\/p>\n
You can also look at it as the thoughts you have right before you go to sleep, and even while you\u2019re lying in bed trying to fall asleep.<\/p>\n
So, what type of thinking are we talking about here?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the thoughts about the different people in your life…<\/p>\n
To include those currently in your life, as well as those who have come into and then possibly have gone out of your life.<\/p>\n
More specifically\u2026<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the special people who are in and have been a part of your life.<\/p>\n
When thinking about this what also comes to mind are the different ways these people came into being \u201cspecial\u201d in the first place. What did they do, how did they touch your life, and how did they even come in to your life to being with?<\/p>\n
This can be answered by thinking about them while asking the question,<\/p>\n
\u201cWho are the special people in your life?\u201d<\/p>\n
1. Lifetime love rituals<\/strong><\/p>\n At first it may seem like there\u2019s a fine line between the people you think are special and those who are truly special. The fact is that there\u2019s a big difference. And it begins with something I speak about (and live) on a regular basis\u2026<\/p>\n Doing the \u201clittle things\u201d that make the \u201cbig\u201d differences along with the two things every human being looks for in others\u2026<\/p>\n Someone who is truthful and trustworthy.<\/p>\n Think about all the different people in your life. What takes place with them when you\u2019re in their presence and even when you speak with them on the phone? What are the little nuances and gestures that you pick up on?<\/p>\n For example\u2026<\/p>\n When you\u2019re in a conversation with someone, are they truly listening to you with a caring ear\u2026or just \u201chearing you\u201d while most likely thinking about something (and possibly someone) else and having their own verbal discussion going on with themselves?<\/p>\n Along with this\u2026are they looking in to your eyes directly or do they drift off and look in different directions?<\/p>\n These are \u201clittle big things\u201d that aren\u2019t so little. This is one of the day in and day out \u201crituals\u201d (if you will) of what to look for because it\u2019s a big part of whether someone makes their way into your life and becomes that special person in your life.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s another example\u2026<\/p>\n How many times did you ask someone to do something for you and they said in a huffy puffy way, \u201csure ok.\u201d Or perhaps they agreed and you could just tell they didn\u2019t want to do it\u2026but did anyway\u2026mostly out of an \u201cun-wanting\u201d type of obligation.<\/p>\n Whatever you asked them to do—and even though they did it—you just know they would have rather been off doing something else.<\/p>\n What it comes down to is this\u2026<\/p>\n The people who are the most special to you will be those that make eye contact with you while truly listening\u2026that will do things for you that they really want to do\u2026and they\u2019ll be sincere about it.<\/p>\n They\u2019ll truly care. They\u2019ll not be thinking about other things going on in their lives, but rather will take the time and listen without making any premature judgments.<\/p>\n And most of all\u2026<\/p>\n They\u2019ll appreciate and love you for who you are.<\/p>\n These are all part of the lifetime love rituals that you\u2019ll get from those who are truly the special people in your life.<\/p>\n So now the question is\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cHow do these people come into your life\u201d<\/p>\n \u2026And what about being truthful and trustworthy?<\/p>\n 2. Tears (and truth) from your heart<\/strong><\/p>\n Earlier you read about what is most likely going on with you before going to sleep at night, as well as what takes place while lying in bed at night. It\u2019s what you\u2019re thinking about. More specifically, the thoughts about the different people in your life.<\/p>\n But what is actually going on while you\u2019re lying there having these thoughts? Who are you thinking about? What are you thinking about regarding these people?<\/p>\n This is something I can relate to very well\u2026<\/p>\n Because it\u2019s something I experience every night.<\/p>\n While lying in bed (and even right before going to sleep) thoughts of the special people in my life come into my mind. Thoughts of where we are now in our relationship, how we met, how far we\u2019ve come, and especially the trust we\u2019ve developed all come up.<\/p>\n And this includes those I\u2019ve known for 30+ years as well as those who have recently come into my life.<\/p>\n In fact, this also brings up what took place the first time we met. And in every case there was a \u201cclick\u201d from day one\u2026the feeling that you just knew these people would be the special ones in your life\u2026the feeling that they\u2019ll be with you for life.<\/p>\n Also interesting here is the fact that in every one of these cases it was a \u201ctrue feeling\u201d\u2026not some infatuation type of feeling that comes today and is gone tomorrow.<\/p>\n What also happens often during these \u201cbedtime thinking moments\u201d\u2026the tears in your eyes. And these tears are tears of gratitude\u2026tears that represent the special people in your life who have been truthful and trustworthy.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the feeling you have when you know that there\u2019s people in your life who care about you, who appreciate you, and who love you for who you are.<\/p>\n And the one thing that is present in all of this\u2026the truth\u2026and not some \u201cpretending to be someone you\u2019re not\u201d type of thing just to please other people.<\/p>\n That\u2019s what\u2019s also so magical about who the special people in your life are\u2026you can be your true self\u2026the person you were put in this world to be\u2026and without having to worry what others will think about you.<\/p>\n Now how these people come in to your life will be different for you than it is for someone else.<\/p>\n But what’s the same is\u2026<\/p>\n Whoever these people are they\u2019ll be the ones you\u2019ll have the \u201ctrue relationships\u201d with\u2026they\u2019ll be the ones who care\u2026the ones who take the time to get the facts\u2026and the ones who will also represent the \u201cfun\u201d part of life.<\/p>\n Not only that but these people also represent another part of life\u2026<\/p>\n The love of life.<\/p>\n 3. For the love of life<\/strong><\/p>\n Whenever you ask someone, \u201cWhat is the meaning of life\u201d you\u2019ll naturally get a different answer from each person\u2026because obviously there are as many different answers as there are people. Of course they\u2019ll be times when you get two or more people who will have similar answers\u2026but not 100% the same.<\/p>\n In any case, there is still one universal answer to the question, \u201cWhat is the meaning of life\u201d, and it involves what life stands for\u2026<\/p>\n Love The answer to this question for everyone is\u2026love.<\/p>\n And this is right at the heart of who the special people in your life are\u2026why they\u2019re here\u2026and what they mean to you.<\/p>\n It\u2019s all about love\u2026the love you have for these special people\u2026and the love they have for you.<\/p>\n This reminds me of a girl I was good friends with back in 2006. We were never boyfriend\/girlfriend, but good friends. She said to me one day, \u201cI love all of my friends and I love you too.\u201d<\/p>\n For some reason this always stuck with me even though what she was saying is something I was well aware of already\u2026<\/p>\n Because the special people in your life will be those that you truly love.<\/p>\n Now of course they\u2019ll be different levels (and degrees) of love based on the relationship you have with them. If you\u2019re boyfriend\/girlfriend they\u2019ll be a more intimate type of love than if you were close friends. That\u2019s obvious and at times they\u2019ll be exceptions to this based on the people involved.<\/p>\n However\u2026<\/p>\n The point here is\u2026they\u2019ll be a \u201csacred love\u201d you\u2019ll have with the special people in your life. Of course I can\u2019t tell you exactly what that will be.<\/p>\n But what I can tell you is that it\u2019ll be special between the two of you. It\u2019ll be based on the connection you\u2019ll have with each other. And It\u2019ll certainly be based on being truthful and trustworthy with one another.<\/p>\n And strange as it may sound, it will include \u201ctests\u201d along the way\u2026the type of \u201ctests\u201d that will get you to see if you\u2019ll stand by each other through \u201cthick\u201d and \u201cthin.\u201d<\/p>\n These are the \u201ctests\u201d of love. They\u2019re \u201ctesting\u201d your love for each other by bringing in both supporting and challenging situations, along with the many different types of happy and sad moments that will come up. This is natural and absolutely necessary for any type of loving relationship.<\/p>\n Not only that\u2026<\/p>\n But the more of these \u201ctests\u201d you have the more likely these special people will remain in your life for life. It\u2019s what allows the two of you to \u201cgrow\u201d as people. It\u2019s what also helps you discover the truth of who you are.<\/p>\n Also realize that this can include if those special people in your life do not live near you.<\/p>\n It\u2019s fascinating and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve experienced this in some way\u2026you can be closer to someone who lives 1000 miles away than you can to someone that may be living in the same house as you.<\/p>\n Remember\u2026<\/p>\n There will be no boundaries—even thousands of miles apart—that will ever separate you from the special people in your life\u2026because they\u2019ll always be in your life in some way.<\/p>\n What\u2019s also fascinating is that you can even go a year, 5 years, 10 years or even more without seeing or talking to this person and when you reconnect it\u2019ll seem like no time ever went by.<\/p>\n No matter how you look at it or what your situation is\u2026the most special people (and I mean the REAL special ones) in your life will be there for life.<\/p>\n So make it a point to tell them in some way\u2026<\/p>\n And let them know how much they mean to you because they\u2019re certainly part of what makes you the special person you are.<\/p>\n Thank them\u2026appreciate them\u2026and be there for them\u2026<\/p>\n Because they\u2019ll appreciate you for the magnificent person you are and all that you do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s the same thing I go through every night before going to sleep\u2026 It also happens quite often while I\u2019m lying in bed\u2026 And it\u2019s most likely happening to you as well\u2026sometimes even to the point where you may have difficulty sleeping.
