Recently, I have been contemplating life in general, and it amazes me that I can attribute huge portions of my life to tiny, meaningless (so I thought) decisions throughout my life.
Here is an example, to illustrate what I mean...
When I was 16 or 17, I walked into my local credit union to apply for a credit card. I wanted to start building my credit early, and after talking with this lady that helped me, she suggested, rather out of the blue, that I apply there.
To make a long story short, that's what got me involved in finances, and from there I went to a loan officer, mortgage rep, and now mortgage broker.
Had I not gone in that day, and at that time when she wasn't speaking with someone else, the entire course of my life would have been altered, as I never would have considered applying there, most likely never getting involved in the financial industry.
I have several of these life-altering "little" decisions that I can very clearly distinguish, and it just kinda blows my mind how everything had to happen just as it did for things to turn out the way they are now.
To think that had I put off applying for that credit card for one week, maybe a day, maybe even an hour, how drastically different my life might be today really puts everything into perspective, and helps me realize how lucky I am that I am in the life situation I am in right now.
Please feel free to share your thoughts/opinions, and also any examples of the small choices that you make that have had a huge impact on your life. I am curious as to whether or not I am the only one that really pays attention to these things or not. I very well just might be crazy
