Chain Reactions.

     In the novel The Five People You Meet In Heaven, there was a sentence written that reflected both the novel, and life itself. The quote read,"That there are no random acts in life. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate on life from another than you can no more separte on life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind." What this quote means to me is that everything you do changes others' lives, and you cannot separate yourself from other human beings just as you cannot separate a breeze from the wind because they are of one.
     In the novel it was stated that,"We are all intertwined." In a sense, that's true. Imagine that you are in a car traveling to another state. You would have to cross many roads to get to your final destination, and every road made a difference. If one road was taken out of the scenario, the whole course would have been shifted. That is a perfect comparison to life.
      One person can change the course of your future just by a hello or a goodbye. You could meet a person at the coffee shop that ends up being your boss in the near future. Holding the door open for somebody who is having a down day that changed our mind set for the next week. Donating money to the homeless could help them buy a house, one penny at a time. Just one miniscule thing you do can make or break somebody's life.
     What we do not realize in our time of living is that our actions impact people more than we will ever know. Everyone we speak to, pass on the street, or even look at has already impacted your life. That one short conversation you have with the neighbor you have never really enjoyed that made you miss your ride could have saved you from a fatal car accident.
      Everything in your life is meant to be; call it fate or an act of God. We are all interlocked in our time in this world,  however short or long. We can never change or alter that, just as you cannot separate a breeze from the wind. Everyone's lives are connected as one. When your story is being revisted in Heaven, make sure you are satisfied with it.
