Unique Pathways

sea and beautiful sky

Every acquaintance that enters my life is a unique exchange that cannot be duplicated. I cherish this life phenomenon and notice over and over again the mystery of interchangeable influence. It amazes me how at just the right season the intersection of two lives with varied qualities and personalities change the rest of the story.   

There are multiple factors that affect life trajectories. We are nurtured by individuals whose life journeys followed cultural, religious, and philosophic pathways. Their experiences influenced their behaviors and beliefs. The intricate patterns, perceptions, and suppositions each life possesses are complex and touch others in further unique ways.   

Each life has the ability to change the world and strengthen the common good. Every life, although distinctive, needs respect and value. Dignity is vital and gives life meaning. Knowing our purpose and understanding how our varied personalities, physical qualities, and the pathways we walk affect our influence strengthens our journey. In the same way air and water are crucial to life, knowledge of genuine value and opportunity is essential. Confidence is dependent on intrinsic value. Belief, hope, and the inner knowledge of significance develops the courage, character, and fortitude every individual needs. The magical qualities of interchangeable influence in momentary exchanges give credibility to life. Our ability to use words and actions that give dignity, respect, and kindness fortifies lives and cannot be defined or measured. The intersection of unique pathways can be audacious moments of grace.
