"Our lives are made up of thousands of everyday choices. Over the years these little choices will be bundled together and show clearly what we value."
-Boyd K. Packer
The first time that I saw this quote, it was typed on a plain white piece of office paper sitting on a chair that I wanted to sit on at church. I assumed the woman who sat there from the previous group had left it there. I was sitting too far away from the garbage so I shoved it in my bag without even reading it.
Two months later I hit a time in my life when the decision that I made was really not the most popular.
I personally believe that things happen for a reason. I believe that people or things are put into our paths that will help us progress in life. They help us build perspectives and make choices.
I come across this again, many months down the road, and as a student of stories I see how small choices I made long before that monumental one prepared me to be here now, after the choice. I also see that ever popular alternate ending and how slight changes in those choices would have smoothed my path.
Thousands of choices ... bundled together ... That should be entertaining.
