I am growing a belief that when you are are on the right track, you are inundated with coincidences, but when travelling away from the right path, annoying or terrible things happen. The past couple of months have clearly illustrated this as I've had a terrible couple of years, feeling quite disappointed in human kind and fed up with myself for following false dreams. I took a punt and drove to a new town I'd never been to before, with very few possessions, and sleeping in the back of my car. Within days of arriving I was lent a tent and found part-time work. Over the following weeks, however, I merely needed to think of something and it landed in my lap. People would come over and offer me items or they would be left at the campsite by someone who had traded up. A TV, a radio, a fan, an oven, a caravan, a pair of shorts, a chair, a great permanent campsite, a fridge, a great paying permanent job.... the list goes on. My needs aren't great in the big scheme of things but the arrival of items has certainly boosted my standard of living and made me feel a great deal more positive about human nature. The sequence of events has made me rethink the bad times and realise that I really was 'bashing my head against a brick wall' whereas, in going with the flow, great things have resultantly eventuated. On another note, I'd like to thank the people who have shared their coincidental experiences; since reading about this research a few months ago, I've thoroughly enjoyed popping into this site every so often for a glimpse of the wonderful world of coincidences. It certainly makes a great change from gloom and doom news and celebrity gossip!
