What if?

What if our purpose in life was a single, seemingly meaningless, encounter?

About 10 years ago, I was standing in a long line to get Hakeem Olajuwon (basketball star) to sign a copy of his biography. A woman and child approached me and asked for directions on how to get somewhere. I told them, and they thanked me and left.

But it made me wonder - what if my only purpose in life was to be in that exact spot, at that exact time, to help that exact person?

Think about it. If this is the way it works, the last 10 years have been icing on the cake for me.
