How Life Changing Moments Shape Our Future

Life is what happens while we are making other plans. Every day we wake up and go about our life, whatever life may be for you. Some get the kids off to school, others head to work, some pound the pavement looking for work, and some are blissfully happy staying home. We go out into the world and live not knowing what life has in store for us.  

We have all had moments where we actually feel our life at a crossroads. That figurative fork in the road where you know no matter which way you go your life will change forever. The day you decided to get married or not to get married, the day you decided to have children or not have children, or the day you lost a loved one..life's changing moments that shaped your future.  

Life in itself is a force, for lack of a better word. I myself have had instances in my life that have just come up and hit me in the face. Moments that find you wondering why the world didn't just stop on its axis. You find yourself wondering why didn't everything freeze because my world just did. Its like everything for a second snaps into slow motion and suddenly you see everything in a different way. 

Movie, television, even the internet shape our lives in some way or another.  We just have to be sure to weed through the things that really matter and don't sweat the small stuff.  Experiences and wisdom from others who have been there will guide us through.  

Life is about taking the good with the bad. The best we can hope for is that the good outweighs the bad. Along the way we can take these little tokens and wisdom from life lessons and let them shape us into the people we will become in the future. As we learned from the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding "Don't let your past dictate who you are, but let it be part of who you will become."
