 A chance encounter is all it takes to change your life. 12 years ago, I was in a cafe speaking with a barista about how he had almost died. He had a very rare autoimmune condition and he had a poor reaction to one of the medications that, again, was also a rare reaction. Now he told me that he had met someone around the corner that was an acupuncturist, someone that was never on his radar, but he had helped him with his symptoms more than any of the medical specialists he had ever seen, and that, hey, it was worth a shot to see him. Now this guy was so sick he actually did ayahuasca and had to be medically evacuated via airlift from a helicopter from this journey. That's how sick he was. The fact that he was that ill and had tried and exhausted every conventional and alternative option led him to this acupuncturist. Now that one chance encounter in that cafe on that one day at that one moment led me to meet someone that would change my life forever. Now the lesson for me was simple, which is that sometimes life leaves you clues, so trust them.
