Do Coincidences Really Exist?
When we think that there are no opportunities for us, the truth is not that they do not exist, but in most cases we simply cannot see them. And this means we are not fully awake.
And this is for one simple reason, namely, that our brains perceive reality in a truly selective way. Our perception of everything around us is not entirely true. We only perceive part of what is happening in our environment, as our attention selects what we receive.
This is the great truth. When we are prepared and put our full attention and energy into something, then we also realize that there are opportunities available to us.
And if the time is not right and we are not ready yet, we simply will not notice these opportunities passing us. And not because they don’t exist, but in their simplicity because we are not in the right place in our own lives to receive them. We would not know how to take advantage of them. Therefore, they are not real possibilities in this existential moment.
In addition, our selective attention and perception of reality go hand in hand with the emotional state we are in right now.
If we are happy, proud, content, and grateful for our lives, the things that happen to us every day are opportunities that we already know how to take advantage of to move forward in life.
On the other hand, if we are in a moment of grief, discouragement, sorrow, and all-encompassing boredom, it is likely that we will see nothing happening to us as an opportunity, but rather as annoyance or bad happiness.
In most cases, things don’t happen purely by chance. They happen because we have done something to make them happen. And these things happen “caused by our efforts, our learning process, and our exploration.” Or in many cases due to the complete opposite of action.
Just as good fortune is not based on Coincidence, but is due to the consequence of what we have done to make this good fortune appear in our lives.
We could say, “I deserve this” when the opportunity hits our path and we take advantage of it. Because to see this possibility, we must no doubt have first reached this point where we found it. And it takes effort as well as dedication.
And when things happen that we don’t deserve, if we are positive about life’s processes and teachings, then we could say “we needed it” to be able to continue learning. Thus, it is still an opportunity to grow and become a stronger person.
Everything we deserve or need will be blessed before our eyes. Don’t waste opportunities. Not letting them pass us. Because if they are right in front of us this means that life offers them to us because we are ready for them. We should not be afraid. We should be brave and grateful for all the opportunities we are offered every day. For this means that we are vigilant and awake enough to continue the journey forward.
