Coincidence or Design?

Posted on January 4, 2019 by Azim Jamal

A meeting gets cancelled at the last minute. This cancellation leads to a detour and to an incident which 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 consistent desires!

Purpose Driven

Many people are urgency-driven as opposed to being purpose-driven. Being proactive will help you spend your time on purpose-driven areas of your life.

When you have a purpose-oriented time-management system, you are managing your life. You know what is most important to you, and you make choices that are aligned to your purpose. You devote your energies to things that have your highest priority and are able to balance spontaneity and planning to achieve optimum results. You analyze the way your time is being spent, so you know whether it is aligned to your purpose.

When you’ve established your priorities, every job, meeting, phone call or e-mail becomes a purpose-driven exercise. Constantly ask yourself: “If this doesn’t advance me toward my purpose, then why am I doing it?”

Do you attract positive coincidences in your life?

Posted on July 19, 2018 by Azim Jamal

Coincidences come in different forms. They don’t always come glaring at you as a positive coincidences. Sometimes they come as a stumble or an obstacle.

When you are determined to succeed every stumble or obstacle comes as a blessing or a positive coincidence.

Whenever I have a rejection of some sort, I get so energized that I work ten times harder on my work to overcome the rejection. There is something within me that tells me that I am worth it even if someone else does not think so. Someone else’s opinion does not define who I am and to prove that I work ten times harder.

Looking back I am where I am because of the rejections and stumbles that I have had in my life. Therefore, I have to thank every one who created the stumbles for me.

When you are determined to succeed and believe in yourself, you treat everything in your life as a positive coincidence.

My friend, colleague and co-author of “What You Seek is Seeking You” would call this “inverse paranoid”.

How about you? Do you attract positive coincidences in your life?

Preparation

Posted on July 12, 2018 by Azim Jamal

When you are thoroughly prepared, the opportunity presents itself.

If you keep attracting what you want, the Universe is signalling to you that you are prepared. If you don’t attract what you want, the message to you is that either more work needs to be done or revisit what you are seeking.

Go with the flow after you have done your preparation; trusting that if you do your part, luck will do its part.

Scenario 1: A meeting gets canceled at the last minute. This cancellation leads to a detour, and to an incident which invites a new connection; which then eventually becomes a game changer encounter for you.

Scenario 2: Someone bumps into you by chance needing your guidance. This right place – right time meeting allows you to provide the needed support.

Scenario 3: You stumble onto an old unanswered email, and decide to respond to it – leading to a totally unexpected assignment and benefit.

Is there a design behind the above scenarios and outcomes or are they mere coincidences?

Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung called coincidences “synchronicity” or an “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 in this context, coincidences. These coincidences are the Universe’s way of responding to your dreams.

Thus, as you venture forward, know that the Universe is indeed designed to respond to your deepest, most consistent desires!

Potent Internal Expressions

Posted on December 28, 2017 by Azim Jamal

Your life is made up of both the external and internal aspects. While the external includes your actions, behavior and outcomes, the internal deals with the power of your thoughts, beliefs, and creativity. Each feeds on the other.Your affirmations and imagination form the most potent expressions of your internal life.

The legend of Babe Ruth’s “called-shot” home run in the 1932 World Series dramatically illustrates the value of conviction. Playing in Chicago’s Wrigley Field, the New York Yankees had won the first two games against the Chicago Cubs. They would go on to sweep the series four games to none. Ruth, the Yankees’ top slugger, opened the game at Chicago’s Wrigley Field with a first-inning home run, then came to the plate in the third inning. He took two strikes, and then, according to observers, pointed toward the centerfield bleachers. He knocked the next pitch over centerfield and out of the park.
Legend has it that a teammate asked Ruth, “What if you hadn’t hit the home run?” Ruth’s answer: “It never crossed my mind.”

Where your attention goes, energy flows. Babe Ruth’s philosophy was “Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.” He didn’t, and though he struck out more often than most players, he rewrote the record books when it came to home runs.

What you affirm and imagine, you invite!

On a Roll

Posted on December 18, 2017 by Azim Jamal

You will find there are times when things are difficult for you and there are times when things seem to be going pretty smoothly.

When things are going well for you, capitalize on the momentum fully, instead of slacking off. You want to act promptly on opportunities, while favorable conditions exist. The Universe is giving you a sign that your time has arrived so signal back by responding with actions that display readiness and positivity.

Once you lose momentum, it is hard to pick up speed. So when you are on a roll, keep going with enthusiasm and energy!
