Penchant for Greatness

Do you ever have that feeling when you meet or get to know someone that they will change your life forever?

It's a feeling I've had quite a few times in my life. You just meet someone you know that they have some quality and are destined for greatness in their own lives and yours.

Here's some examples:
Dan, of course. He changed my life in so many ways, and I had this gut feeling about him after 10 mins of talking to him. Even though it didn't work out,he's changed my life positively forever, making me realize my goals and dreams and the do's and don'ts of realtionships in general.

Then there was Jeff at my old old job when I was a co-op student. After talking for about 20 mins, I realized I could learn alot from that guy, and I did, and he was more than willing to show me. But it was the gut feeling in the beginning that tipped me off. Without a great mentor like Jeff, I wouldn't be where I am today in my career.

Quite a few years later, I met Shannon. She's one of my best friends, and we got along great right from the beginning. We'd do anything for eachother, and are a steady point for eachother. We're alike in alot of ways, but different in some really good ways, it's great to have someone like that to pitch ideas off of.

Recently I've had that feeling/revelation again. Just a gut instinct, that's destined for some sort of greatness, but I'm not sure what yet.
