Connected?!

"That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind."

This phrase in the novel probably has the greatest impact more than anything else in the novel "The Five People You Meet in Heaven." The phrase pretty much sums up the book, and it made me think. First off it gets you to thinking "Well, what does this mean?" When finishing up the book I found my answer. To me this phrase means that all the decisions we make in life lead us to our final destination. There are never mistakes or regrets, but different roads I chose to take to reach my ultimate destination. I also feel it means that the people in my life are not here on accident. The people in my life were sent to make all of our journeys better. I am here to be part of their lives and them mine. Even the people I do not really meet, but encounter. They are all here to shape me and who I become. So, the choices we make and the people in our lives are not here on accident, but to complete our journey and we can not change that. We have to just accept we are all part of one another. Then the phrase had me thinking,"Who have I been connected to, and I did not even know?" Well, looks like I will find out one day!
