don’t overlook synchronicities
I’ve had too many synchronicities in the last week not to remind you to pay attention to them, and other signs, in your life.
A prime example of the most recent synchronicity is Oliver Burkeman.
Last week, someone, I can’t remember who, asked me if I had read Burkeman’s most recent book, Meditation for Mortals. I hadn’t, and until then, I hadn’t heard of the book, although I was familiar with Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks. Naturally, I looked up the books, read a little more about Burkeman, and decided to order those two books and one more because I wanted to see what Burkeman had to say, and also for inspiration for the books I’ll write one day. A lot of my reading today is to explore how different authors write, present their ideas in book form, and package them together, especially when writing multiple books that are semi-connected.
Sunday, the books arrive from Amazon.
Monday, I see that the guest on Rich Roll’s podcast that dropped that day was…
Oliver Burkeman.
Now, I don’t know what the synchronicity is telling me. Maybe it’s telling me I need to bump Burkeman’s book up my reading list and pay attention to the messages in the books. Or, perhaps it’s just a little wink letting me know I’m pursuing the right path.
In time, the meaning will reveal itself. But for now, I don’t need to know what it means other than that I’m on the right path and need to keep pursuing.
I want to encourage you to pay attention to the little synchronicities that show up in life and don’t dismiss them as coincidences. You don’t need to understand the synchronicities immediately, but you need to recognize them. And when you see them, take a few moments to sit with them, notice how you feel, and take note of what your heart is telling you.
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
JC
