Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see.
Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)
SYNCHRONICITY - SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES
A client I'll call Donna loves butterflies and believes it represents the changes she is making in counseling, It's like the caterpillar reaching the finale of its endless struggle and beginning to experiment with its astonishing discovery - wings. As Donna left our appointment, a butterfly flew in front of her car and stayed directly in front of her for two miles to the intersection before she turned onto a busy road. The point is, she noticed. Coincidence? Psychologist, Carl Jung, called moments such as these 'synchronicity,' an underlying pattern of meaningful coincidences which occur to guide and direct your life.
These events are natural, and as we notice 'signs' we strengthen our awareness and see them more frequently. It's like driving along and viewing the landscape as it unfolds around use. The environment hasn't suddenly appeared as we travel a certain road, we are just noticing with focused awareness.
You Begin To Trust
As you learn to trust yourself more, you will second guess yourself less. You even begin to uproot old patterns of thinking and behavior that might have kept you stuck in an endless rut of not knowing how to take the next step forward. Your life becomes richer, more bountiful, more interesting, curious and creative. Like the passing landscape when driving your car, your perception has shifted because you focus on the surrounding beauty instead of the compelling thoughts in your head. You might have even sabotaged your greatest desires, prevented yourself from meeting truly interesting and positive people by avoiding taking risks and allowing yourself to grow, unfold and, like the butterfly, emerge from your self-imposed cocoon of endlessly thinking.
Denial only works so long, then one day it stops working for you. You have to deal with the shaky relationship, or the passive approach to living. You feel a sense of urgency to discover something fresh about yourself and your ability to find personal satisfaction, or simplicity, or peace and harmony. Everybody has a dream, and yours will one day push you to re-examine the way you think. At some point you have to face yourself, your choices and decisions and begin to trust yourself. At some point you will be invited by these internal urgings to take a risk and do something new, vastly new and different. And this is when the biggest response you can give, the greatest gift you will ever give to yourself, is to take a leap of faith.
You Can Invite Coincidence with a Leap of Faith
And that’s where coincidence comes in to greet you. Detach from the current patterns of thinking and reacting, so something new can emerge and guide you further into the unknown. You discover your personal power. This might be quite a dramatic shift for you if your belief system is that you feel victimized or are dependent, insecure, even unworthy, of your own ability to manage your life better than anyone else can do it for you. It’s like letting go of any blame you had for your parents and realizing that now, as an adult, you are your own self-parent, and you can do a much better job of meeting your needs. You begin to own your right to be human and engage fully in the process of living a life filled with purpose and meaning.
Focus - and DISCOVER
If you want a new career, or if you're ready to go after a dream you've had for years, if you want to attract the right relationship,have more money, a special house - focus on it and you will invite guidance in the form of coincidences, many of them quite miraculous. Miracles really are natural, and when they don't occur, somebody is still sleeping.
Allow yourself to be interested in something bigger, and be curious about whatever you find endlessly fascinating. Take the class, make the phone call, just be sure to take an action step forward - today. Begin now. Whatever you focus on will bring you everything you need, as long as you stay persistent and committed.
When we're interested in something, everything around us appears to refer to it..."
