Coincidences: Gifts from the Universe




Joyful Journey show

Summary: Is a coincidence a random act of chance or the universe conspiring to grab your attention? As I’m a seeker of magical moments and love following the nudges, I believe there is nothing random about a coincidence and when the universe dishes out these gifts, it’s our job to get curious and explore why. When you pay attention to these remarkable concurrences of events or circumstances and allow them to move you by being curious, you step into the flow and things begin to align themselves that move you closer to your goals and that grandest vision of your life. In this episode, I share a personal story that illustrates how this works. We also talk about Carl Jung, the famous Swiss psychiatrist who believed these seemingly random acts of chance are really glimpses into what he called the “onus mundus” or one world. The key take-a-way: when you experience a ‘coincidence’ don’t just shrug it off. Instead, get curious, unwrap it like a gift and see what may unfold. If you have any stories about a strange coincidence that happened to you, send them to me by email. I’d love to read about your story and I may even share it on a future episode of the Joyful Journey Podcast.
