IF EVEN FOR A MOMENT.

What blows my mind about life in general is how simply it can change and how dramatically that change can impact your life.

At any given moment, we are all free to make a decision that will alter our everyday as we know it and as with anything - for the better or worse.

We can choose to strike up a conversation with a completely random stranger and that person may end up being our best friend, great love, unforgettable heart ache, arch enemy, lucky charm etc etc...

We can decide to at any given moment steal something, make something, change something, take a different route home, pick up a stranger, damage something, repair something etc etc...

Everything came from an idea and acting upon it.
Great inventions, every day objects, heros, starlets, criminals, monsters, anthems, eras, fads, icons, tragedies and miracles all happened because someone somewhere thought about it for a moment and acted upon it in some way.

That excites the hell out of me. I love how simple it really is. Tomorrow if I really wanted the shit to hit the fan, it totally could in the most massive way. Also, if I wanted things to be incredibly amazing tomorrow, it would be just as easy.

I'd just have to put in place some changes to life as I know it and muster the balls to follow through.

It makes me wonder why we don't do more of this impulsive type of living. So many people (me included) can complain about things being boring, about being uninspired, about being stuck, or worse yet are in some zombie like state, not even aware that they're unhappy and unfulfilled and years can go by before something snaps them out of it and they wonder where all that time went.

Maybe we're pre disposed to be creatures of habit. I wonder how different life would be if the majority of us were predisposed to be impulsive. I wonder whether things would be totally chaotic and crazy, I wonder whether instead of complaining about being stuck we would yearn for routine and repetitiveness.

Or maybe we would all be so busy following our guts and listening to our hearts and reaping the benefits that we wouldn't long for anything except for more of the same good vibes and excitement.

I'd like to think that.

Some of the best stories I have read have involved this concept, how one simple decision significantly altered someone's life, or threw them into a completely new reality if even for a moment.

I just found this story and kind of love it. Maybe you will too.
