What If This One Question Is the Answer That Could Change Your Life… And You Can Use It Today?
Have you ever experienced a coincidence that was so extraordinary… you still can’t explain it today?
Perhaps you met exactly the right person…
Missed a flight…
Took a different road home…
Or something happened that completely changed the direction of your life.
MY TESCO STORY
A young man was scanning my shopping.
He looked outside and said,
‘It’s such a lovely day… and I’m stuck in here all day.’
‘If I could give you one piece of information that might change the way you see today… would you take it?’
‘You are exactly where you’re supposed to be.’
So I explained…
Maybe you’re not missing the sunshine.
Maybe the reason you’re here today…
As I walked back to my car…
I suddenly smiled.
But proof that supported my belief that life often gives us exactly what we need…
exactly when we need it.”
THE TEACHING
There’s a beautiful quote that says…
“Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”
Whether you believe in God…
The Universe…
Fate…
Synchronicity…
Or simply the power of human connection…
isn’t really the point.
The point is this…
We all choose a belief system.
And whatever we believe…
our brain starts collecting evidence to support it.
If I believe life is against me…
I’ll notice problems.
If I believe life is teaching me…
I’ll notice lessons.
If I believe every challenge is helping me grow…
I’ll begin to grow.
So perhaps the better question isn’t…
“Is this belief true?”
Perhaps the better question is…
“Is this belief helping me live with greater peace andfreedom?”
THE PROBLEM People ask
“Why is this happening to me?”
It keeps us looking backwards…
instead of forwards.
