What if one event, meaningless at the time, changed your life forever? It's probably happened to us all, possibly many times. Running a red light to make it to the grocery store and finding your soul mate browsing the meat section? It could happen.
A movie with Gweneth Paltrow called sliding doors, gives us a glimpse of what life could be like and how life can forever be changed just because she missed a train, or made a train in the London underground.
As the doors close shut before she can get in, she stands alone in the underground disgusted, yet totally unaware of the path she's passed up by missing the train. Or has she? As the doors begin to close shut, Helen lunges into the train taking a breath and a seat, totally unaware of the path she's passed up by taking the train.
Imagine if you could get an opportunity to live out two destinies simultaneously. So think about that for a minute...think about a decision that you made and how it affected you and what if you had made another decision, how would your life be? Do you ever wonder? Dream a bit, peer into an elaborate metaphor for opportunities lost and gained?
I always believe that it's all written already, we are just puppets in our own show...but I do beleive that there are many paths we can choose and directions we can flow with and what really matters is the choices we make and how we live with those choices...
