Is the universe trying to tell me something?

Is the universe trying to tell me something?

I saw this quote in a blog and it stuck with me through the day…

“I don’t want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.”
Frank Costello in the movie ‘The Departed’

Then I saw this on a poster in a shop window…

“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Then I heard this in a TV programme…

Father to daughter, “We either define our fate, or we are defined by it.”

Hmmm…

Once is happenstance, twice is a coincidence, three times?

I came up with my own version…

“If we don’t design our fate, then we give fate the right to design us.”

Is that the message?

My best wishes, Paul

Well if you don't listen the first time the universe gives you a nudge it will keep doing it until you get the message. I think you got the message. When we are truly in flow and accept guidance then great things happen.

I believe there is no such thing as a coincidence (Celestine Prophecy - James Redfield) - yes the universe is!!
