You meet someone by chance.

 Then you discuss some random things. Before you know it things unfold and you are guided to read a book which opens up another world in you. You wonder: how did this chance encounter happen and unfold? For the most part, you dismiss it as the journey of life or a mere coincidence.

Yet so many things would have had to collide for this one happening.

As you aspire, the universe conspires. As you wish for something, you attract it. If you believe it, the outcome works.
