AS I SEE IT TODAY

As I see it today :

An Amalgamation of Souls

Did you realize that we are the sum total of the people we have met in our lives?
Both litereally and figuratively?
I have my father's sense of adventure, my mother's determination.
My favourite expression these days is "Oh my days" , that I get from my friend Stacey
I'm determined not to be taken for granted by any man, that I get from my experiences with men ( I won't call any names)
I had to be focused and organised because of Brittney
I've learnt to be humble in all that I've achieved, because of my admiration for Dennis
I look at my arms and I see my mother's arm and I've decided I must go to the gym!
I want to explore the world because my Daddy told me that the two moles on my calf mean that I will travel the world
I like to have my clothes nicely folded as if they are just coming out of the store,

because my Daddy showed me that's the way to fold his pyjamas
I'm spiritually inclined because my Mom made sure I was in church every Sunday
I did Interational Relations because of all the Diplomats I met during my AFS exchange programme
I did law because everyone kept saying I should be a lawyer ( I guess I talked too much )

Plus I figured that's the most lucrative profession to provide for my Baby

And now I know, this is my divine purpose on earth

To serve and make a significant contribution to others

Law is my vehicle to carry this out

I could go on...the essence is that believe it or not we are who we are

because of the people we allow in our lives

There are people that are just a part of our lives, not by choice, but by divine design
Those we have no control over
But be careful who you let into your life, as you will inevitably be influenced one way or the other by their mere existence in your life

The old saying is true

" Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are!"
