Hello, amazing people,
Hope you’re having a lovely day, or if you’re just unwinding from work reading this, I hope this week went well for you.
Maybe you didn’t have a good week at all, perhaps you didn’t have a good day at all, and if you didn’t, then this article is meant for you. You know I was wondering about what topic to write about today. I looked at the time and said I must have my post ready, there’s a lot to do today, but it’s going to be okay.
I took a nap; I felt tired because I waited for the right topic to hit me. I gave me say one hour to recharge, and this topic reached my thoughts. I wanted to write something really good, something that’s real to each one of you and mostly an article (hope this one) will affect each one of you on a profound level after reading it.
You see my articles are filled around hope, reality, positivity and topics that are close to my heart. I am in one way, shape or form always trying to tell you to never, please never give up. Look! Never give up at what you want in life and what you desire out of your life even if right now it looks like you’re so far from it.
You know what there are so many dreams you’re having, so many hopes and so many sacrifices you’re making right now, this very minute, and in one second, I mean it, just one second your life can change. You could be thinking you have a flu and you’re at the doctors’ right now, but you’re sent to emergencies, and when the results come, things will never be the same again. I say things will never be the same again because once something like that hits you, your mindset would have shifted.
Gratitude and your connection with people and them to you is the greatest thing you could ever have now, so that when the time comes, moments, where you feel you are sooo far from everything that once was, is what others are there for.
You don’t know if you’re going to breathe the next breath, see another day and finally see the people who know your soul. There’s so much to do, there’s so much to see, your son growing up, getting married, making his life, going on that dream holiday that you wanted to go as a family, there is a list of things you can fill in the next coming lines, heck pages of it, of all the things you still want to do. So, what now, you’re sitting on the hospital bed getting treatment. The one thing that you’ve always had control of is currently out of control, i.e. the drugs, treatment, how it’s affecting your body and energy. You now lack energy, even lacking the energy to feel positive, lacking energy in believing this will end and you will bounce back up soon.
If this is you right now, or you have a family member in this situation right now then, “God bless that person.” I know this is so cliché, that the video you will see in this article will even say it, but I still repeat it again anyway, “God bless that person, and I hope that he or she gets to live the dreams they think they’re not going to make it to. If this is you then God bless you.” Now, do you see the reasons why your connection with people is the greatest thing you can ever have? When you can’t do anything in your life, your life support relies on the drugs which you hope will give you a good day today (that’s the luckiest thing for you right now) then I hope the second luckiest thing you have every single minute of your life is perhaps someone coming to visit you, saying prayers for you, coming to do Reiki on you, bringing you flowers and healthy foods and snacks, giving you a shawl with positive messages written on it and most of all you’re surrounded by people who in some way or the other understand your current state.
When you sick, it’s hard even to keep the thinking sharp. Reasons why your connection with people is the greatest thing you can ever have is because good people take good people a long way further then you can ever get in life than being with the wrong people. Good people just accept the way things are for you and being around you for years, knowing your soul the judgement is just gone through this time.
Now, do you remember how it is to go through the whole process of developing meaningful relationships when you’ve met someone for the first time? See I’ve been a traveller for eighteen years, and I can tell you that you’re lucky if someone even adopts you for one day and care genuinely about you and your situation, sits down with you and really understands your point of view and then gives you excellent advice. Most of us just need someone to listen at times.
When you check this video out, ponder on this. Does your good humour, your hard work, all the things that make you a good person, a special person, your opinions and all the foundations you have built your life on save you when you have been given the news that you have a terminal illness?
Positive thinking can but in the end when you have to go, you have to go, and if you’re ill, you get to keep a few things if you’re lucky until you go to keep you sane, at least, that’s for you to keep, but you can’t do this alone, and this is the reason why your connection with people is the greatest thing you can ever have. If you can touch people’s lives, they will touch your life back when you most need it and when you least expect it – 19:53, 23 August 2019, T. Dench Patel
Some people confuse real connection, they believe that you have to be there for them all the time. This is not real connection, this is manipulation. Real connection is based on respect, communication and healthy boundaries. Real connection happens in divine timing when you’re meant to be with that person at that time. There’s a divine connection without explanation. It’s not a forced connection, and it’s not a connection that makes you feel guilty. 19:57, 23 August 2019, T. Dench Patel
You know like me when you see this video you’ll understand what it means to have these divine magic seconds, be it love, and the things that are intended to be and like this title of the video says, “Everything happens for a reason.” Can you remember as time passes why you say that? See it’s those magic seconds that we can’t note down that can’t be explained. At the same time consider yourself as blessed when you have a great connection with people, it’s that connection that will hold you up when you can’t, to help you to move forward with hope – 19:08, 23 August 2019, T.

Have a look at this video titled, “Everything happens for a reason,” and I am sure you will find more value than just hearing the reasons why your connection with people is the greatest thing you can ever have. Money and everything we have in this world can be replaced if you have one healthy life, but money and everything we have in this world can buy one final treatment, treatment to prolong life but not give you back that one complete life that some of you are reading this have right now.
