... Excuse me.

Life is full of interuptions.
Interuptions are simply meant to happen.
Often times we view an interuption as a nuisance... but truth be told, they can be a blessing in disguise. And sometimes you don't even realize it even when it's happening right then and there.
You can be at the right place at the right time, helping the right person. Or a person could be helping you at the right place and time.
You can be making a difference in a life. Or someone can be making a difference in yours.
We all impact the world in some way... how will you make your mark? What will you stand for?
See, life is full of interuptions even when we always have the 'on-the-go' kind of mindset these days. It's inevitable. We will always be interupted by someone or something.
The question is how will you react?

A couple weeks ago, I was at work... doing my work and an older caucasian man came up to me saying, "excuse me... but could you tell me if my special order is in yet?" Yes, it interupted what I was doing but I willingly helped out only to tell him that his order wasn't in yet. It was only a mere couple of minutes after where he looked at me and said, "I have something to tell you... by looking at you I have come up with three things. Wisdom, goodcare and excellent mother. These words I can see by just looking at you. And I am also here to tell you "Don't settle. Don't settle for anything less than you deserve..." And before I could even say thank you, he was gone. All I had was the small piece of paper where he wrote this down for me. It was like he knew exactly what was going on in my life then and there... but he was a complete stranger. A complete stranger who interupted my work only to bless my life and remind me what God was trying to tell me. Divine intervention at its best. That's the only way I could describe the experience.

Last week, I was at a concert with a close friend of mine and after waiting for the crowds, we were just about to leave when suddenly a couple came up to us and asked, "excuse me, but do you know what this line is for?". We told them that it was only for people with backstage passes. After chatting with them for a couple of minutes, they found out we had no backstage passes and randomly and willingly gave theirs to us. Who would have thought that night we would have met John Legend from the kindness of strangers merely interupting our conversation to ask us what the line was for? We definately didn't expect that one.

Life is truly filled with interuptions and sometimes you just have to give them a chance. So the next time someone says "excuse me...." maybe you should considering giving that person even two seconds of your day.... you never know what lies in store. Maybe you will be a blessing for someone else or that person will be a blessing to you... you never know how you will impact the world until you react.

Moving onwards.

Do not look back & grieve over the past, for it is gone, and do not be troubled about the future, for it has yet to come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

Closing remarks.

"It's the way people try not to change that's unnatural...
the way we cling to what things were instead of letting them be what they are,
the way we cling to old memories instead of forming new ones.
Change is constant.... how we experience change... that's up to us.
It can feel like death or it can feel like a second chance at life...
If we open our fingers, loosen our grips... go with it, it can feel like pure adrenaline.
Like at any moment we can have a second chance at life.
Like at any moment, we can be born all over again..."

Difference

I see a difference. And this is a marking point for me.
It's never going to be the same.
I'm never going to be the same again.
