I probably would have learned to be more patient, gradually become more intuitive, and have appreciated more of the little things in my daily life.
When I wrote that just now, I was specifically thinking of ONE person. A "real" person, at that. In a sense, I really don't know them at all except OF them and their name. Their shared thoughts and ideas always sound like pure gold – at least the ones they disclose publicly. I'm envious of their cleverness and nonchalant way with words that interest so many people, like me. I wish i knew them in person, face-to-face.
"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." – Jim Rohn
When I read this quote at first, I wondered if my choice in the 5 people I spend my every days with were of right taste and composition. Then I realized that having those 5 people around are not my choice, it's a blessing, a privilege.
Suddenly i'm perfectly happy and content to be who I am, and to have met those people that I rub off on, and off from. You the man, Jim.
