Coincidence? I Think Not.

I believe that things, ALL things, happen for a reason.

Nothing is coincidence. There is a purpose for every action, and whenever something is strangely uncanny and oddly perfect, that's because it was supposed to happen. There are reason that there are these gut feelings, these innate reactions that we can't help, these situations that we can't explain, reasons which I won't explain here, but feel free to come and ask, and I will be more than happy to let you know.

There are too many people on this planet to every have a chance meeting. The odds of that happening are so slim, that there are greater hands at work, so with this said I ponder. Say something or someone happens to you, long ago. This thing or person for some reason strikes a chord. You don't know it or them, but there is some strange attraction to it. You can't help but somehow want more of that thing, but you can't explain why.

Now say, this thing goes away for a while like a year or maybe years. There is no contact no nothing to remind you of this thing. Whatever. Then one day, you are accosted by this thing, this magnetic force. You pay it no mind, because you think it's nothing. That strong draw was old, not relevant, but for some reason, not even related to you, this thing winds up right back in your lap, literally....

I said I don't believe in coincidences.

How oh how does it happen that of all things in the world, and all the people, and of all the places, and of all the situations, that you reunite with this thing that feels so right, so ideal and perfect it's sickening. That is the funniest and best and most fantastic feeling in the world. It confirms what you felt about this thing is not one-sided it's mutual, and that confirmation is so overwhelming great.

This is the problem, what do you do when this "thing" cycles it's way back into your life? Do you let it go, calling it some kind of wonderful and leaving it as a wonderful experience? Or do you take the risk to explore where this "thing" could go? The problem with one, is that you are left with the what ifs, wondering if you tried. The problem with two that inevitably it has to be a joint effort; both sides have to want it, and that may not be case.

In the end, all we can do is just be thankful for that chance to feel completely at peace. Whether or not you wind up exploring more or not, what is meant to happen will happen. We can't force something unnatural, because then eventually we end up exactly as we are meant to be. If it feels wrong, it probably is. Once again, I don't believe in coincidences, so if its meant to happen, it will. Don't pressure it, don't wait for it, don't expect it, just live life and appreciate what comes along. If there is an overwhelming feeling to do something more then follow that or you will regret it. If something says walk away, walk away with smile.
