Nov 10/16
I feel compelled to write this story - I can feel the excitement grow as I recall events that has happened over the last few days. So a total of three things I noticed happened over a period of three days.
So it was a normal Tuesday for me at the office when a few random events happened that I had no idea what would be the start of a chain of amazing events. I would normally stay late at the office in this location however a few hours later on this day there was some changes and I ended up going on a plane to another office. I remember clearly getting to the security line - Immediately realizing there was a large line up. I looked at the time and knew I would barely have enough time to catch my flight. The old me would have suddenly became stressed, today though, not one ouch of stress came over my body, in fact the opposite. I felt calm and knew I would get through security in time to make my flight.
At the start of the of the line, a man in his mid 40's asked if he could by-pass the line because he was late and was concerned that he would miss his flight. The security officers told him no and that he would have to wait like the rest of the travelers. He then waited in line until the next corner of the line and ask another officer if he could by-pass the line while using the same story as his first attempt. This time he was successful and by-passed the line, It would have been approximately 10-15 minutes later when I made it through security and I look over and the same man was clearing at the same time as I was.
It created a moment in me to pause and reflect - I could visually observe he was worried about time, and rightly so, as I am sure he had a important destination to go to and did not want to miss it. The point is accepting the flow of every moment was meant to happen and you will receive all you need, when you need it. You will get to where you need to go.
Which leads me to the start of my second experience and that was - I walked right from security to the boarding gate, produced my travel documentation and walked onto the plane with no stress at all. With the memory of the stressed out middle age man in my mind.
I get to my assigned seat and I am waiting for a older lady that is standing beside my seat and she politely waved me by her and I said that is my seat beside you. So she proceeded to put several bags away in the overhead compartment and under the seat. All the while politely saying sorry for taking so much time, I responded by saying there is no rush and it is all good. I got seated and buckled in and then another lady came and hold her she was in her seat. Now keep in mind it took sometime for us to sit down, she polity responded of I am sorry and I will move. The lady in the aisle said no problem and I will just take your seat and politely laughed.
So picture this, I am not supposed to be on that plane, the lady was in the wrong seat, yet for a brief moment in time I was given the gift of her company. Immediately I could recognize her sensitivity, intelligence and physic ability. We shared several stories back and forth about our life's experience and how we now embrace the gifts we both have, but reflected on a time where our surroundings suggested that we do not embrace who we really are. We both have lived most of our life not being true to who we are and finally now we are able to live life truly in the moment.
To you on the plane that I had this conversation with - you will know who you are if you read these words. I can not express enough words of how grateful I am, as you helped build more confidence in me by a simple conversation of sharing. A random event that truly turned out to be a moment that I will never forget. Thank you so much Ms. K. I am truly grateful for you and what how much you had given me in such a short time.
The third event was on the return flight home three days later. Once again there was someone seated in the aisle seat. This time a man in he late 20's with several tattoos all over his neck and arms. I asked to get let in beside him as my seat was at the window. Immediately I was struck by how nice of a person he was. We started a fun conversation and when the plane was getting ready to take off, I put my head against the window to have a brief rest, even though I could feel he still wanted to talk to me. At the time I felt I did not have the energy to communicate with him, as it was early in the morning and had a long day ahead of me combined with the fact of a long few days of work.
As we started our descent we started the conversation just like it never stopped, it flowed so easy and way up-lifting. We soon discovered we had a lot of things in common with our lives and he invited me to look him up the next time I was in the city. I said for sure - exchanged details and parted ways - once again this moment provided me with strength that I am on the correct path for me.
As I am walking in the airport, I noticed a lady walking towards me that was seated in front of me on the plane. She came up and said excuse me but I couldn't help but overhear your guys conversation and how incredible and positive it was. I wanted to say thank you to you and express my appreciation of that conversation. I felt she wanted to say more, however at that time I had never experience a moment like this and I was actually speechless and felt my energy become unfocused as I was so surprised. I then felt guilty as I almost missed an opportunity to make a positive difference in someone's life - even though I knew I should have talked more.
If I chose to ignore my insights I would have missed the experience of something great that will stay with me forever. Pay attention to what the universe is providing you - all is what you need. This three day trip provided me with more energy and support to follow my feeling and insight. As I asked not long ago to provide me some more confidence that I was indeed on the right track for my life. As I wanted this I have been provided with more support than I ever expected to receive.
Love yourself and by doing so the universe will love you fully with all it's energy - yes it is for you and you are great.
