As I struggle with the humongous task that it is to find the meaning of my life (you know, the what am I here for?) instead of getting clearer, my life line gets more confusing and blurry because I really do not have a clue.

 

We are supposed to be here and make some kind of impact. Plenty people have gotten there – Nobel Prize winners, for instance, will definitely populate the pearly gates list of “Made Positive Impact on Humanity” – they have big gonads that drove them to that point.

 

Then I thought, why does it have to be in such a huge scale? It may not. I can probably make itty bitty impacts daily and at the end it will be added together for something other than a mediocre life.

 

So I decided to take “baby steps” (did you ever watch a movie called “What About Bob? Very funny!) and I decided to make “change” in small opportunities:

 

  • The jackass co-worker that never shuts up is complaining he is hungry – gave him my last pack of peanut butter crackers.
  • The coffee breath person seating next to me in a meeting? Gave her a piece of gum AND a mint before she even asked me.
  • Shared my meeting notes with the bitch that has no clue on what’s going on, but gets around in many other ways – if you know what I mean.
  • When my little one had his last meltdown, I simply took him to his room and closed the door instead of joining a less than calm discussion of why he could not throw the football in the house (for the 500th time!)
  • I didn’t tell my husband that I hoped his ass would melt like a volcano next time he farts next to me.

 

You get the drift. I have been very calm and full of patience with these fools. The fact that I am not exploding like the sarcastic atomic bomb I really want to be every time I get annoyed or irritated, should count for something. BABY. STEPS. Little by little I am making my mark in this world – I can FEEL it, don’t you? ;-)
