The People You Meet Along the Way

Isn't it amazing how far you have gotten?  If you look back at everything you've had to do to get to where you are today, it is truly amazing.  In fact, the chances of you being alive today are so infinite, it truly is a miracle.

But, put that aside for a second.  Now I want you to think about all of the people you have met and that have helped you and that you have helped along the way.  Think about that one connection or that mentor or that person you helped and how your actions with them helped your life and success.  I bet there are too many to count!  And then think about how the chances that these things happened are even more infinite that you being alive!  

The people you meet along the way, the relationships you build and create, and the lives you impact or are impacted by, are a huge part of your journey.   And they are rare in the probability arena.

What have you learned from them?  Are you taking it and using it to it's fullest every day?  Are you doing your best to honor these people and their contribution to your life and success?  The short answer for all of is, "Probably not."  Me included.

But perspective is an important thing and it pays to take some focused time and think deeply about these connections in your life and what you have learned from your experiences with them.  It will help to bring forth ideas, thoughts for how to take yourself to your next level, and how you can become a better overall person.  

This happened to me just the other day.  I was doing some work and came across some old notes taken from a mentor.  As I thought about the wisdom in those words, I became excited at how much they had helped me over the years and felt a deep feeling of gratitude.  The time spent reflecting was well spent as it gave new ideas for a problem I had been looking to solve.

It also gave me another idea for when these instances come up in life.  After you have taken the time and reconnected with the incredible lessons, advice, and acts of service that helped to shape you and your future - take time to reach out to these people.  Reconnect with them if it has been a while.  Tell them "thank you" and share how your experience with them has made a difference in your life.  In fact, I did this and ended up having a very timely call as this mentor had an opportunity that they wanted me to participate in.

So you never know, new opportunities and ideas could just happen through reconnecting.  Never forget the people you meet along the way!
