What is The Universe Trying To Tell You?
Explaining the signs of coincidence, synchronicity and serendipity.
Signs?
I was walking along in deep contemplation of a decision I had made. Out of the corner of my eye…there was a tiny piece of green sea glass.
I was unpacking some boxes. My mind was trying to figure out if I should move forward with a shift in my career. Just then, a little piece of styrofoam fell from the packaging. An arrow.
I was on a trail hike with my husband. We were talking about our commitment to putting more time into our marriage. Right in our path…a heart-shaped rock.
Are these signs? From who? For what?
Coincidence
Are these things coincidence? Am I searching extra hard for objects to place extraordinary meaning on?
Coincidence: An occasion when two or more similar things happen at the same time, especially in a way that is unlikely and surprising. -Cambridge Dictionary
How often do we say, oh…that is a sign. We use these coincidences as signs to start, stop, or confirm things. Are they really signs, or are we looking for an excuse…
