Every now and then, somebody comes into your world with a couple of words that stick with you for a lifetime.
They may be words that give you hope - for Oprah it was a woman that let her know she was beautiful.
They may be words that destruct - "hey, you're smart....who would've thought?"
They may simply be words that keep you guessing.
Two years ago a friend made a statement about a personal matter that didn't mean much to me at the time besides 'what does he mean by that?'. Stranger still was that it turned out he was right, I was wrong. Then came the questions that I still wonder to this day - what could he see that I couldn't? What made him say that statement in the first place?
What it was that he said is irrelevant. What I find intriguing that it still haunts me to this day. I'm sure if I was to ask him about it, he probably wouldn't have a clue what I was on about - so often we blurt out words that exist only for the moment they were spoken in, and become nothing to us who said them. However for the person we spoke them to, they become milestone moments that have the potential to change the very course of our lives.
Ooh...I'm deep today!

80% of 'brain' is 'rain'.
I think there is something in that for all of us.
