It all began long ago and in a brief short span of that time I came into being. I was born in 1981, a month before Prince Charles married Diana Spencer. Why is that interesting? Only to set a timeline for my life. I lived a life that only a very small fraction of people have ever seen or been blessed with. I grew up as a nomad might. Every few years we would move to a different county, a different life, a different house. When children that I first knew as a child were going back to school I was thousands of feet in the air flying towards my new life. I changed schools so often… I started attending a small Christian school… then attended a Thai children’s school, a Buddhist school, a British International school, and finally a Private International Christian school.
Memories… they say reading books is like borrowing someone’s brain. If you could look inside my mind would you like what you saw? Would you want to see more? To get lost deep within my ocean of thoughts. I have been alive such a brief span of years and yet I have soaked up so much life.
One important thing I have learned is that it matters a great deal how you choose to meet life each day. Each tick of the hand of time will matter later. Each choice will play some key pivotal point later in life. Each word carries weight like a stone dropped in a pool.
Did you know that by creating a timeline of your life you can see one page of the world? Now imagine all the pages laid out across time. You could see everything. Every action, every step, and every ripple that caused us to get to this point. The actions that built up or broke apart. Things/ideas/products that persist and keep growing have proven to create the greatest ripples of change.
