Usually it happens that what you meant by something trivial and/or self seeking turns around and actually answers a long-forgotten prayer that you had almost given up on. One problem with my own mind is that when I over-think everything, I try to figure all possible outcomes so that I might be prepared. Still I am amazed how often I am still wrong.
Usually it happens when you meet someone, you quickly size them up and define who they are and how they will affect you and your relationship with them. That was a complicated way of me saying you have a first impression. But once again, a few people decide to surprise you. I cannot lie, it is rare because of the amount of shallow people, and those who live on the surface. I also cannot judge because that is who they are, but some people shock you with their depth and their thoughtful mind. Even with others, I am surprised at the maturity in spite of the stupidity (but that is a side issue that I am figuring out). The fact that some people are willing to devote the time and effort to actually think through so much that most people would allow to float on and never allow personal growth. I cannot imagine that aim is desirable to just continue on, but that we should each day look for new ways to educate and elevate ourselves, and it is refreshing to see someone who does this and who gives themselves to people around them so that we all can learn from them.
Usually it happens that we are content to live in the same boring life without being willing to step out and become something more. The definition of insanity is doing the same action while expecting a different result. So true when you step back and see a ton of people continuing to bang their heads on the walls of life hoping for epiphany or opportunity. I think my opportunity is right here in my lap, and finally I have not only the desire and ability, but also the knowledge and the help to push forward and gain ground. This does not usually happen.
