Guardian Angels

I believe know that every event happens for a reason. Every person that we meet... It is all exactly as it should be.

This week, I had lunch with a colleague who I was only introduced to a few months ago. It's only the second encounter we've really had outside of day to day work liaisons, but after lunch yesterday, I knew I was meant to meet him. That I was meant to meet him at this exact point in my life.

He reminded me of thing I've forgotten. He shone light on the ideas, the beliefs and the notions, that I've always held, but seem to have ignored in the past few years. He reminded me of life's purpose. He reminded me of my purpose. He reminded me of the gift I have and how, unbeknownst to me, I may be using it every day to help those around me.

I hope I gave him something in return. Even if it's just an ear for his own personal predicaments. He shared with me this great life philosophy he holds, where he feels that his purpose is to turn every frown he encounters, into smiles. At the end of life's journey, if his frowns vs. smiles balance sheet tips in favour of smiles, then he has served his purpose. He would have done good... What a great philosophy.


He also reminded me that every day you get the opportunity to start over. Just because today is a terrible day doesn’t mean tomorrow won’t be the best day of your life. You just got to get there.

I have always believed in Guardian Angels. But the static drone of life, often blocks my ears and blindfolds my eyes to them. Only after they leave do I realise who they were and what they did for me.

I'm so grateful that I recognise this one. That I can say to him face to face, thank you for coming into my life.
