What do post-its have to do with the meaning of life?

Sending A Message With A Post It NoteI don’t know if you have ever heard the story of post-it notes. This guy who worked at 3M created a glue that didn’t stick to anything. Somehow he figured out it worked well on paper for bookmarking his place in his hymnal book for leading worship at his church. Just think about all the things that fell into place to give us what businesses can’t live without anymore. He could have just tossed the glue out as useless, or if he didn’t lead music he maybe would not have had the idea to try it with paper. Even if he did have the idea without the marketing and creative ideas of 3M maybe some other company would not have been able to bring it to market or be successful. This isn’t the only thing like that. It seems many times the determining factors of success for products or even ideas are innumerable pieces falling into place at just the right time. Think even about the recent proof of what Einstein theorized almost one hundred years ago. Even in our own lives, what if you had married someone else or moved to a different country or didn’t walk into that meeting or place where you met the love of your life. Your life could be different. Could you be a totally different person? To me, this is the ultimate question in life which needs an answer. Is it random, or part of a plan? How you answer, changes everything!
