That bus stop in Denver changed my whole morning routine

I used to take the 10 bus from downtown Denver every day, rain or shine. One morning a few months back, a guy in a suit spilled coffee all down his shirt, missed his stop, and I realized I was just as scattered every single trip. That day I started packing my bag the night before and walking to the stop 10 minutes early. Has anyone else had a random moment on a commute that made you rethink how you do things?

Oh man, this totally hit me. I had a similar moment on a Denver bus where I watched this lady calmly read a book while the rest of us were all frantically checking our watches. I realized I was just rushing for no good reason, you know? I started leaving earlier too, and now I actually enjoy my commute instead of dreading it. It's wild how one random stranger can accidentally show you a better way to live.

isn't it funny how we all get stuck in our own little bubbles of stress and rush? @thomas.cameron i've seen that same thing happen at coffee shops too, people frantic about their orders while someone else just smiles and waits. it's like the calmer ones figured out a secret we all missed somewhere along the way.
