“Do Coincidences Really Exist?”
<p><br></p><p>They say everything happens for a reason — but what if that’s just something we tell ourselves to feel better when life doesn't make sense?</p><p><br></p><p>Let’s talk about coincidences.</p><p><br></p><p>You’re walking down the street, headphones in, no destination in mind. You take a wrong turn, land in a place you’ve never been, and bump into someone you haven’t seen in years — someone who says something that changes the direction of your thoughts. Later, you’ll call it a coincidence.</p><p>But pause.</p><p><br></p><p>What if it wasn’t?</p><p><br></p><p>What if life is less like a chaotic game of dice, and more like a giant invisible thread — with pieces moving in ways you don’t understand yet?</p><p>Most people think coincidences are random.</p><p>But randomness doesn’t rearrange your life like that.</p><p>Randomness doesn’t teach you. It doesn’t reveal truth.</p><p><br></p><p>So maybe what we call "coincidences" are really convergences — moments when timing, awareness, and readiness all meet in silence.</p><p>Let me give it to you straight:</p><p><br></p><p>That person who hurt you?</p><p>You just happened to meet them when you were naive enough to need the lesson.</p><p><br></p><p>That book you randomly opened that felt like it was written just for you?</p><p>It didn’t change — you did.</p><p>You grew just enough to finally hear what it had always been saying.</p><p><br></p><p>That opportunity that came out of nowhere?</p><p>It wasn’t luck.</p><p>You’d been preparing — unconsciously, in the shadows.</p><p>The world was just catching up.</p><p>Here’s the truth nobody really says:</p><p><br></p><p>&gt; Coincidences are not proof that life is random.</p><p>They’re proof that life is quietly intelligent.</p><p>You just don’t always get the explanation upfront.</p><p>So no — coincidences don’t really exist.</p><p>What exists is divine timing that doesn’t introduce itself.</p><p>It just shows up looking like a mistake… until it becomes your turning point.</p><p><br></p><p>And the more you grow, the more clearly you’ll see:</p><p><br></p><p>&gt; The things that felt like accidents were actually appointments.</p><p><br></p><p>Ones you forgot you made.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
