Accident or Coincident

I created the below blog post and article in December of 2009. It was posted on the Examiner.com although they closed their internet door about 5 years later. I revived the content below. I hope it resonates in some way!

I'm 100% sure I should have been listening to my inner voice and developed my creative talents instead of choosing a career that was more materialistic. It took me 40 years and much turmoil to realize my calling but, I believe, it is better late than never. I am very anxious about the money.  I'm hoping I'll be able to support my current lifestyle while keeping my inner peace and by helping others heal all at the same time. What a great win-win opportunity! I feel I'm finally on the right path, are you?

Accident or coincident

According to the Encarta Dictionary, an accident is defined as a chance happening and a coincident is defined as a synchronized event.  Is it possible we might actually have more control of our destinies then we realize or do you think our free will navigates us through a lifetime of random events without any universal connection?

Regardless of your opinion in this matter, free will is common and active in either scenario.   We’re each born with particular talents we can choose to develop or not.  If our choices do not feel right but we push forward with them anyway, probably for the wrong reasons and this sets a life course that does not align with our core purpose.  These decisions affect our well being causing physical and mental discomfort.  Usually, as we evolve into adults we find ourselves, after we’ve struggled with hardship for some time, at a crossroad and it’s not by choice.  Maybe a health issue or job loss threatened our safety.   Once the trauma dissolves, peaceful feelings surface from our core.  The devastating event that turned our world upside down awakened our spirit and enabled a re-alignment prompting our lives to get back on course revealing, through our feelings, life’s purpose. 

As we’re moving through the ordeal we label it as an accident but in hindsight it is much easier to see the sequential events are clearly coincidental; part of a bigger plan influence. 

Next time you are drawn to something or someone, follow your instinct, you might be tapping into your greater life’s plan.  Accident or coincident, maybe we are just guessing, but if you choose to ignore your instinct, is it worth potentially missing an opportunity that might trigger sequential events that unveil celestial intention or as we know it, our life’s purpose?
