Have you ever stopped and wondered about the pattern your life is following? I wrote earlier about destiny and the freedom of choice and in this article I will delve deeper into how the simple mechanism of seeing and applying synchronicities can improve your life in a better direction.

To make the concept very easy to grasp I’ll use the internet as an analogy. If you search for health advice you will get pop-ups concerning diet programs. If you search for investment advice, then that’s the kind of pop-ups you will see filling up your screen. And if you like to gamble, then internet casino ads is what you will attract. The greater the interest you have for something, the longer your mind will be occupied on meeting the demand you’re experiencing.

A Synchronicity is the link between what you think and what you get. You won’t buy a red jacket if you only look for and visualize yourself wearing a blue jacket. You won’t find energetic and resourceful people if you’re depressed and have given up control of your life. You won’t attract a loving and inspiring partner if you don’t love and inspire others. And you won’t find advice on personal development unless that’s what you specifically seek.

Now attach this model to your whole life. You will quite easily visualize a timeline of people and events throughout your life who and which made great impacts on your behaviour and occupation. The work you do, the people you’re around, the matters that interest you and the thoughts and feelings that make up your daily life today are the great sum of all synchronicities that you’ve gone through your entire life.

Which leads us to today. Is there something in your life that you would like to leave behind? Let’s say that you want to give up smoking. The first step is to identify where and why the habit begun. Maybe you’re playing the blame game. You might reason that if it weren’t for your teenage friends or poor parenting you’d never started. It’s all their fault, you say! Then at least you remember and identify the source, but you’re giving up your control. Now is all that matters and you are the only one who can end your habit.

The second barrier for change might be deluded reasoning. A woman I know reasoned that smoking workers are more effective workers since they will always look forward to and work for going on a cigarette break. I don’t want to verify for myself if that is true or not, but it has two negative aspects to consider. Firstly, if going for a smoke is even partly a reason why you’re working then what does that tell you about living and working purposefully? Secondly, it just sounds like the mind of such a person is trying to desperately find at least one positive effect of smoking. Deluded reasoning is everywhere among bad habits and often the greatest single reason why the bad spiral isn’t coming to an end.

The third thought I want to suggest is the power of using a synchronicity. What do you want to create or abandon? What future state do you want to accomplish? Decide on this first and the synchronicities will appear everywhere like pop-up windows filling your mind and senses. It’s the simple rule of “ask and you shall receive.” But asking is pointless if you don’t believe you’re worthy of getting what you wish. Everyone is worthy of becoming a greater person than they are now, when they believe in it. It’s up to you to follow the chain of events that will follow.

This website is a synchronicity. You were searching for something and ended up here reading this article. Maybe it wasn’t quite what you were looking for, but there’s something inside you telling that it wasn’t a wrong turn either. I have deliberately chosen to write on a broad scale of common interests - just look at the list of categories. However, it’s all in the name of improving your odds in living a more prosperous and purposeful life. It’s up to you how you deal with this event, abandon it or create a foundation of a richer and healthier life.
