Coincidence or Design?

No alt text provided for this image

A meeting gets cancelled at the last minute. This cancellation leads to a detour and to an incident that invites a new connection which becomes a game-changer connection for you. Someone bumps into you by chance needing your guidance at the right time and right place. You stumble into an old email and decide to respond to it leading to a totally unexpected assignment. Is there a design behind these coincidences?

The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung called coincidences “synchronicity” or “acausal connecting principle.” He believed that there is an underlying order and structure to reality, a network that connects everything and everyone.

Your success will come from hard work, a focus on your core priorities and “luck” or coincidences. These coincidences are the Universe’s way of responding to your dreams.

Henry David Thoreau said: “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

The Universe is designed to respond to your deepest and most consistent desires!
