How to look for an encounter.

Dear, Readers

A stranger is only a person you haven’t met YET, it’s time to turn your Radar on! 

Whenever I feel that I have reached a different level,
there is a key person who inspires me and brings out my potential.
On the other hand, I sometimes meet a person who teaches me a tough lesson.
That’s also a key person.


It occurs to me that it’s time to meet someone who inspires me like a mentor.
I think an encounter really changes one’s life.


How to look for an encounter.
In my experience, there are two approaches.

1 .I ask my acquaintances about someone who I want to meet.
2. I just think, and then I may meet someone when I least expect it.
For example, someone happens to introduce me or
I notice I already had someone
or I suddenly meet someone without an appointment!


Recently I did the first type but my acquaintances didn’t have any ideas.
Then I tried to think about the second type,

When I get a message from the future, I have already met the person,
so I must just find them around me.


A few days later, I suddenly realized. I’ve been doing yoga for eight years
and there is an Ikebana teacher who is wonderful and my ideal is to age gracefully like her.
And I thought why we were in the same class for eight years.
There could be a reason, it might be a sign!


Soon after I had a coaching session with my coach.
While talking, I began to think that if I change my future,
it’s time to look for my key person right now.

I think there are two meanings to personal connections those that are shallow and wide
or those that are narrow but deep friendships.
I experienced both so what will be next?

My coach said, “You need just a few more people.
I think the person is in their 70’s and she is a cheerful person
and the other person is in their 20’s and he has a better planning ability than you have. “
I thought it’s like a help‐wanted advertisement!
But Napoleon Hill once said, “Thoughts make things.”

At that moment , I noticed that I had already met someone who is in her 70’s
and she is a cheerful person! What a coach!


Five hours later, I went to yoga and I asked her to have a conversation
and we talked for an hour. Her valuable story had become very helpful to me.
And I said to her “I felt something click with you.” and she said “You received a revelation from God.”
and she laughed merrily.


Without experience, I cannot know how
and what Ikebana is so I will observe that class next weekend.
It takes about five minutes on foot. It''s hard to see what is under your nose.


If you have great faith, you’ll see you’ve already gotten something you will need in the future.
Don’t forget about that!
