PAY ATTENTION TO SYNCHRONICITIES

*Stuff happens, the saying goes.

*The philosophy embedded in that aphorism is that things happen over which you have no control and you need to resign yourself to the fact that life often sucks.

*Sometimes life does suck. Sometimes stuff happens. But often, if you are paying attention,if you are living on purpose, stuff happens that is nothing short of miraculous.

*At night you dream of a friend you haven't seen for years, and the next day she calls you, out of the blue. You hear a song on the car radio that perfectly captures what you're feeling that moment. Your furnace breaks down and you receive an unexpected check in the mail.

*Pay attention to coincidences. Believe that they may be telling you something-- even guiding you. As the Dalai Lama said, "I am open to the guidance of synchronicity and do not let expectations hinder my path."
