“Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.” Rumi
Like attracts like, we all invariably attract what we focus our attention on. When your mind is actively fixed on a particular goal, you seem to be more attuned to people, information and activities related to it?
Have you noticed that when you are expecting a baby, you seem to see more pregnant women than you did before? Or when your mind is actively fixed on a particular goal, you seem to be more attuned to people, information and activities related to it? My coauthor of our book “What you Seek is Seeking You”, Brian Tracy says in his seminars that you are a “living magnet” and you invariably attract into your life the people, ideas, and opportunities in harmony with your dominant thoughts.
Research confirms that when you focus on a goal, the reticular activating system in your brain searches for people, places, and circumstances to support what you are thinking about, resulting in coincidences that help achieve your aspirations.
According to a certain theory in physics, called “The Observer Effect,” the simple act of watching something changes that thing on some level. In this line of thinking, we each create our own future through our thoughts. You can put this knowledge to work in your own life by using it to be in command of your own existence creating coincidences in your life.
Many well-known and well-respected artists, thinkers, performers, and creators were able to embark upon their careers because of serendipitous moments.
These are some examples of coincidences which may appear to be simply accidents. However, as Albert Einstein said:
“Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”
