When the coincidences accumulate, you are on the right track

When you’re on the right track, you know it. Coincidences begin to appear one after another on the horizon. The heart is filled with satisfaction and from that prudent enthusiasm, precise results emerge little by little. After all, when the mind focuses on what it desires with firmness and openness, things do not happen by chance, but by determination.

We have all, at some point, experienced a similar sensation. The one in which, almost without knowing how, Small casual events begin to happen that have a certain relationship with each other; those that, in some way, seem to fit our plan.

Now, mathematicians Persi Diaconis and Frederick Mosteller, from the University of Berkeley, explained in a 1989 study that we should not pay excessive attention to coincidencesbecause they are nothing more than rare events with low reliability and that almost never help us predict something.

Nevertheless, From the late 80s to the present, that approach to the aspect of coincidences has changed quite a bit.…

The brain does not like randomness, so it always looks for patterns and believes that coincidences always mean something.

Celestial stars and coincidences

Bernard Beitman, a psychiatrist at the University of Virginia, wrote a very interesting book titled Connecting with Coincidence (Connecting with coincidences). In it, he explains to us that we often assume that our lives are the result of simple coincidences, of that chaotic chance that often governs our destiny.

However, if we analyzed many of those events that determine our present and our future, we would discover something. Coincidences sometimes follow a pattern and that is when we must stop to find out what is happening…

Edmund Halley, an 18th-century English astronomer, for example, realized that the records that other astronomers had made about the appearance of certain comets in Earth’s orbit and which they had classified as “mere coincidences” were not coincidences at all.

Halley went out on a limb and predicted that those patterns responded to a solitary comet that appears every 75 years, and he was right. He himself saw it happen according to his calculations on Christmas night in 1758. Sometimes, The concatenation of several coincidences gives us the clue to something, something that only with openness, trust and determination can we determine.

Determination, movement and coincidences

When you are on your path you have a predetermined objective. One where you guide your objectives and little by little, everything acquires harmony. Studying for an opposition, looking for resources for a project, finding stability in an emotional relationship, overcoming a personal problem… All of this requires a series of very precise movements directed in the same direction.

At different points in our life cycle, each of us makes an effort to outline that plan in which we want to be a part of happiness and stability. It is part of our sense of self-actualization and also personal growth. So, An aspect that we cannot and should not rule out in this transit is the aspect of coincidences.

Josh Tenenbaum, a scientist and cognitive psychologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), explains to us that, although sometimes these events lack any logic and are nothing more than random acts, other times, Coincidences are as revealing as they are indispensable in our lives..

Coincidences, the mind and our personal growth

Coincidences, explains Dr. Tenenbaum, drive and favor many of the inferences our minds make.. In fact, our brain is programmed to detect any anomalous and casual stimulus and try to make associations to understand it and promote new learning.

David Spiegelhalter, a statistician at the University of Cambridge, has been studying the topic of coincidences for years. The result of his work has been collected in the public domain space Atlantic. Thus, and according to this professor, coincidences can only be understood with adequate statistical analysis.It is through this method when we realize an aspect: The most striking coincidences have to do with our social relationships. An example of this is meeting the person who will ultimately be our partner in various places. It’s another to meet someone who casually suggests new projects that we end up being a part of (just when we most need a change). One more is to perceive how we are advancing in our personal projects thanks to the connection with other people who share our same dreams.

On the other hand, an interesting aspect of Professor Spiegelhalter’s work is that Where little correlation is evident is when someone desires something and waits for that event to happen without getting involved in it.. That is, only when we move and create new situations are those coincidences generated that we can use to our advantage.

When you are on your path you know…

As we have been able to deduce, Coincidences are the result of chance… but also of that impulse that we ourselves generate with our personal and psychological disposition. All of this encourages us to understand certain aspects that are worth reflecting on.

When you are on your path, those events that you cause yourself and those others that happen by relative chance, but decisive at the same time, intermingle.. An example of this is the work of scientists and researchers. In their daily task of analysis and experimentation, they often come across chance events that allow them to reach an astonishing discovery.You are also on your path when your mind is open to everything that happens in your environment.. Only a keen eye and a curious brain that seeks to learn and find stimuli that are in its favor can see the true coincidences. Those that sometimes follow one after another, until they take us where we want. At the same time, Another aspect to consider is that there are times when negative coincidences occur. Falling ill on the day we have the opposition, having a technical failure during the presentation of our project, etc. As random as these fatal events may be, it is worth remembering that by probability they also fall within the possible, even by statistics of the normal. A coincidence can be positive, negative or neutral, but what counts in the end It is how we decide to handle that event. The way we do it, the response, the mental focus and the behavior we apply behind that fact will truly determine our destiny.

Conclusion

To conclude, Albert Einstein said that life itself is a wonderful coincidence. Now, knowing how to live it in the best way requires a firm will and know-how to be receptive through a positive and hopeful mental approach. Let us allow ourselves, then, to apply this personal vision, Let us not ignore or turn away from all those possibilities that gravitate around us every day.
