I see synchs everywhere, in fact it was a large part of what drove me to my own research, book and blog. Paying attention to these signals - (re astrology I agree with you, they are good signs but don't let them keep you from actually going down the road!!) - and they will assist us in walking down our individual paths, until we can all converge together on the Great Path. Surf the Tao!

You might have a direction, a path or a mission but you have this fantastic power - which I guess it was the riskier bet of the Creator - which could actually turn the game upside down. We do have free will, a will so strong that could actually go way over our initial plan. Or it could ruin it completely.

Yes, you may have hardship in your life but hard and easy are just contextual values that can change in a moment. Experiencing life at all levels, being in the moment is something that is above and beyond everything else.

I can surely relate to what you said at the end of your comment: everyone has a destiny and misery might come from resistance to fulfill it. But I might call it "mission" rather than destiny, the word "destiny" has a fixed dimension in it, something that is written in stone and impossible to change. While looking at things through the "mission" perspective I gain more flexibility and I am able to use circumstances and similarities in order to fulfill my mission. @Kikolani thanks for sharing your experiences.

Yeap, totally agree that there is some strong connection between us and the things around us. There is a huge link between what we want and what we get. And you are totally right, many of the things around us are just a reflection of what we are. I guess the reason why such a belief is not very popular is because our "bad" parts. If everything around us is a reflection of what we are, then why we have a stinky job, a bad relationship and no money? The answer is: because we do stink at creating value, we do no relate to others in a generous way and we hate money. It's hard to believe that, it's hard to integrate it in your day to day routine and it's even harder to start to change. It's easier to blame it on "circumstances". But at the end of they day, we cannot face everything but the truth: everything is inside us, the outside is just a consequence. Thanks for your comments, it's always refreshing and you add a lot of value every time you join the conversation :-) @Jonathan great insight here!

We may have some delays, we might spend a lot more time than we think into a certain situation but after a while those consistent decisions are joining forces together to create a big change.

I also had this type of mundane experiences, not only with the car, but also when moving in a new house I shifted my focus from an apartment lifestyle to a house lifestyle with a huge impact on my shopping behavior, for instance. I started to look at gardening tools, outside furniture and so on. I consider those signposts very important and getting in touch with them is one of the most fulfilling activity although one might say it's a little bit shallow, as it lacks a lot of our scientifical approach.
