Coincidences? Probably Not

This morning started with an unexpected (for me) visit from an acquaintance that really ought to be a good friend. He is one half of the one of the finest couples I have ever known. He is highly educated and has made a conscious choice to pursue his family, travel, knowledge and personal connections over the pursuit of money. How is this working out for him? Very well.

This evening, after working out and having dinner, I stopped by the Barnes and Noble and saw "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" lying on a display table. I began reading it while enjoying some Tazo brambleberry tea. (No, I am not getting compensated for that product placement) As I began to read, lights were turning on in my head. Why hadn't anyone, specifically my parents, told me about these concepts? Well, that would be because no one had taught them either.

The connection between the morning's visitor and the book is that both brought me some knowledge that I was silently requesting just a day ago. These events were a specific response to a non-verbal, internal request I had made for some new ideas and guidance the day before. I will definitely read the rest of the book now. I recognize that some would attribute this coincidence to the law of attraction while those with a religious background would attribute this as one of the gifts described in the teachings of Abraham.

I am not going to say exactly what it was that I was requesting. What I will say is that maybe you should consider trying new ways of doing and seeing things - if you are looking for new and positive changes in the coming year. Keep you faith grounded, but your mind open. There isn't much that is going to be able to present itself and be appreciated to a closed mind.
