Sometimes, the most interesting conversations are those that happen unexpectedly with people we don't normally get to talk to but whose lives are just as colorful as ours. It's a gift that somehow, in the chaos and uncertainty of life, our paths cross with that of others and ultimately form a perfect plan. Who would have known that a simple lunch in the office would completely change my mind on a certain issue?
In many ways, the fact that humans have the ability to speak makes it even more important that we not only have that gift of speech for saying what we think and feel but essentially using it to share our stories of joy, triumphs and even sadness that others could learn from.
I can't elaborate what we talked about early today since it's kind of a sensitive issue but boy do I agree on one thing: never lose sight of who you are.
It's true that nothing stays permanent in this world. We constantly change and move. We're faced with sometimes the extreme of extremes be it success or failure. Yes, things around us change, but do we need to change too just to appropriate to a completely unrecognizable path? Our looks may change, even the way we dress but we need to preserve the purity in our heart, the good intention in our thoughts and the happiness within our smiles. We should never let our goodness take a backseat in every triumph or failure. That's when we actually need it the most.
It was depressing to have listened to an almost happily ever after story because it ended so tragically. And in the last couple of hours, I have been wishing that I didn't hear about such sad story. But then, maybe God willed that I hear about it so I could learn from it and never do the same mistakes.
