I wonder what anybody else has to say about this.

I have so much coincidences in my life, they are really just mind blowing. I'm not a superstitious or religious person, but I can't avoid to notice them and wonder ,what was that,what do they mean?

I can't see any meaning, but the frequency is outstanding, also when I tell about them to others they can hardly believe it.

so my question would be ,what do you think of coincidences in your life, and how it effects your thinking?

I don't want to read into them anything magical, but clearly they make me wonder. Thanks for suggestions

Thanks for your input. I just wanted to ask, how do you know for sure the the coincidence is a sign? I have problem with this, but I don't know what to think. How do you make sure?

I believe there is in fact no such thing as a coincidence. All of our interactions are carefully orchestrated by God. Everything that happens to us is a test. How we succeed in these tests will determine what our portion will be in the next world. Specifically what will be our proximity to God. Coincidences can be a means to help us get to where we need to be. A reminder of where we should be going or an opportunity to earn reward, etc. Try looking deeper into your religion to see what it says about coincidences chances are the reason you are acutely aware of all of these coincidences is because deep down you are searching for something, go find it, it's just a coincidence away.

I believe that everything happens for a reason! I have had quite a few unexplained coinsidences in the last year, and I believe it's all part of a bigger picture that I know nothing about. But I take them as meant to be and a sign of some sort. We all have different beliefs, and I don't want to put my beliefs on you, but your right it does make you wonder...or in my case...it confirms what I believe. Now my boyfriend is just the opposite, he believes they're just that...coinsidences!

And speaking of my boyfriend, I met him online, on a dating service...I contacted him not only because he looked good, but because he was from Maine. I lived in Maine for 5 years, 20 years ago, and I have family up there. I like the accent and I wanted to just joke around with him, and hear him talk (I am originally from NYC, and now live in Phoenix) Well after talking to him a few times and as we got closer...he asked me what my mothers maiden name was. Come to find out, He knows all my cousins...went to school with some, worked with others! Now what are the odds???

Two days after that, I got a call from a recruiter from a company I had applied for a job with. As we talked about my qualifications and such, she asked me how I heard about the company. When I told her a couple who I have become friends with here in Phoenix used to live in St. Louis, and they told me about it opening here. She stopped me and said Oh my God! I think I know who you are talking about! So, when I went for the interview down here and knew she would be there, I brought pictures of the couple and thier two sons. She jumped up and down and said yes! yes! That's them! Needless to say, I got the job! LOL

Yes, it's amazing what a small world it really is!
