Coincidences

I'm sure many of you can relate: you cross paths with an individual more than just occasionally, a thought you had in your mind makes its way into the world and becomes reality, you keep noticing recurring images, words, numbers... Are these just coincidences, or are they in fact signs that you should be paying attention to something. A sign from above, as an indicator that you are on a good path, or that you are meant to learn something? Or is it possible that there are there NO coincidences... Coincidence is the noteworthy alignment of two or more events or circumstances without obvious causal connection. Are they worth acknowledging?

Though no scientific evidence exists to support these ideas, they do certainly resonate with me and I pay attention when these things keep happening. I'm not terribly superstitious by nature, but somehow when it comes to these coincidences or signs, I'm standing at attention- eyes wide open, ears ready to listen, ready to learn. I like to take times like these to pause and focus on my surroundings, and let myself be guided along my path.

Has anyone else felt this way: guided, directed, or pushed in a trajectory because of seemingly coincidental events/happenings?
