This Can´t Be A Coincidence

[Dian]

  Hello everyone,

I come from Slovakia (middle Europe) and I consider myself as a self-help junkie. A Junkie that wants to grow in all fields. Health, Wealth, Romance (family life), Meditation and Spiritualism . Now, I feel like i am on a crossroad of my life. I simply don´t know which my way should be headed. Especially my career. I am relatively successful in my job. Meaning I get paid much more than most of the people in my small town and at the same time my job is not boring. But it´s highly not fulfilling myself. I work at cemetery fyi.

The point is:  As I was thinking about my career path. Many things happened. I bumped my car 2 times and the car in my work 3 times... my phone fell to the ground and broke the display. The commonality here is, that it happened every single time at the same place. Back left side. (Phone - Bottom left) Coincidence? Maybe. I considered myself an atheist for a long time. But as I experienced different events, I was persuaded that my life is in connection to something greater, bigger. As I was meditating I felt it too. And this events of bumping my car into same place just cannot let me sleep.

My question is:   what it means? Why is it always the same place? Please I´m begging you on this one. If anyone can help me answer this I´ll owe you big.

Sorry for not the answer you are looking for but.... cause and effect are reversed here, read your post backwards. It starts "not enough sleep" in the middle is dropping phones all the time, and end bumping car. That's it. You know the answer? Oh one more thing, your brain likes finding patterns like everybody else's does; that's how the brain works. If maybe you hadn't bumped the car same place, it would always be outside a green door, always with another blue car or always on a Wednesday. Good luck!

That you need to be more careful?

The rational answer as @Neo pointed out is that your brain loves patterns. Once you've got some sort of belief, it will block out counter evidence and focus on what confirms the already established belief.

That being said, Enlightened people will often talk about navigating the world through flow and recognizing patterns. They do this because they've surrendered "personal will" and instead are just moving where life seems to be taking them. When you do this, in the end, things tend to work out with perfection.

Thanks for the answers. They made me think a lot now... I really like to find patterns in this chaotic life. I just figured out that I may be not happy. I may have good job and have interesting life. But i feel like my life is just not fullfiling, thus i am not really happy. That´s the reason why i find irrational explanations in life. It made me feel happy inside that I have found an answer to some mystery. Filled my void. It felt rewarding. I have had some troubles lately with being addicted to food, porn, facebook, mails, games and other "joys" of life. I successfully defeated those addictions. I see now this patterning just another type of addiction I have to let go.

Offtopic: Another drug I have to let go is "living in my comfort zone". Wish me luck to have enough stregnth and courage .Thanks again for opening my eyes and making me think about myself. @Neo I found the answer what i was looking for. But it came out to be the bitter pill i have to swallow.
