I have such a busy mind. I’m always thinking and pondering something or another. This morning I witnessed a sad event. I witnessed a cyclist I let cross the road moments earlier, attack a man who appeared to just be on his way to the shops (shopping bags in hand).
His partner stood back appealing to people to stop. I sounded my horn to try to distract but really it was all I could.
Knowing not what had happened to have instigated this interaction, I drove on.
Saddened but thoughtful of the event, as it seemed to somehow coincide with a general shift in behaviour that I’m witnessing more and more – a lack of care is the simplest way I can put it. Mild anarchy creeping in, carelessness, no effort or attention.
On my way back, I passed the partner of the gentleman who seemed to come off worse. Our paths crossed in almost the exact same spot that the event had happened. Seconds earlier I was thinking about them and there she was.
“That’s her I thought, hmmm”. Other the obvious another thought that came to mind, people always appear when I’m thinking about them, events happen when I focus on them.
It got me thinking why doesn’t it happened all the time and what is the key to these seemingly coincidental meetings. I was really bothered by the fight, I felt it in my heart, genuine emotion – could this be the key?
My mind is off again, I asked myself in my heart what I felt about myself. This thought didn’t just come out of nowhere it was based on a meditation I read earlier, ‘in this shape experience, imagine the greatest vision of your self’. What is the greatest vision of myself in my heart?
Could we all benefit from being really honest about what is in our hearts about ourself knowing that it had the power to become a physical reality – we’d think kinder, grander of our self wouldn’t we? This method of thinking I believe can only be applied to ourselves.
Try it, be really honest with yourself and make adjustments over time where necessary and see what ‘coincidences’ appear.
