That's really cool. I believe everything happens for a reason, and the universe is always conspiring to push us in the direction of our greater good. The way you point out how people went on to do awesome, amazing things even though they didn't accomplish their original goals is spot on, and very insightful. I believe the universe had other plans for them, and gave them the circumstances they needed to change direction. And the things they DID accomplish are still pretty darn wonderful. Excellent post.
