How I became me.
Intersections as defined by Webster, “Two lines that cross, especially applied to roads…”
I will commence with “A convergence of events and people that has life long inferences.” Some might also say, “Consequences”.
Was it a chance meeting or an event that led to a new acquaintance? Were you introduced to a person that would eventually become an icon in your life or did circumstances force you at some level to interact with a person that would be an unlikely person to meet through mutual acquaintances or family?
Have you found yourself at a crossroad where a decision, yours or someone else’s, lead to major consequences in your favor or to the contrary?
Would you say that every decision has been made to your advantage or would you say that some decisions have created less than desirable results?
What is the nature of “regrets” in your life; durable or temporary?
Have you made decisions at these Intersections that resulted in positive or negative consequences for another person or group? We would probably say some of each. Certainly our existence has some level of impact on others. Have we always given equal weight to divergent potential outcomes when considering a direction or action?
Which Intersections in your life have had the most impact on where you are today or how you feel about your circumstances?
With this preamble let me begin to tell, “How I Became Me” and invite you to write your own story of how you became you. Perhaps in the telling we can overcome some of the durable regrets and celebrate the regrets that we have successfully rejected in our lives.
