It Sort Of Just Happens...

But... How?

How does it just... happen?

Don't you ever plan to do something and something else derives you into a whole new direction.

Take for instance your on a journey from A to B but somehow you forget F, get lost in G and P helps you find X and together you make your way through M and eventually get to B... Confused? Yep, so am I... But you got to B in the end... Hooray!

In the other words, life isn't a simple direct route... Time doesn't have a short cut, it just ticks! But within a lifetime of ticks are multiples of connections. Connecting pieces of information. It could literally take one phone call or forgetting your keys that could lead you to being two minutes late, meeting your future partner at the bus stop and one thing leads to the next....

Some people can't help but think "What If".... Well what about "if I hadn't of done that... I wouldn't have done this... And if I wouldn't have done this... I wouldn't have met..." It goes on...

Life's an open door full of opportunities, moments of great things... You may not know how important that party was until 30 years later when you realise D gave you the idea to travel to S and there you made trillions oh and your best friend W met her future partner Q all in one night...... !

The more you learn from your families history and take time to reflect over your life... The more you start to see how everything just fits into place.

So when your lost in G and forget F, shrug your shoulders and smile... Don't loose hope in the midst keep your faith and B will come. It may take a while but you'll get there and on your journey make the most of every opportunities. Let's face it a life full of all the letters in the alphabet would be much more fun than just going from A to B.
