Is this really happening right now ?

My name is Zack Creasy and fashion is my life. The way fashion came into my life was what some may call a "coincidence". It was three months before I was set to graduate from high school; I had been drawing designs and discussing ideas of the clothes I was going to make. One day I came to school late with two friends; by the end of that same day I was no longer a part of that high school, no longer a red hawk. I was kicked out of school and everyone knew about it. My family was ashamed of me, I had no one to talk to at the new alternative school I was attending, life seemed as if it could not get any worse. From the loneliness and boredom, I returned to the fashion designs and ideas I had previously imagined turning them into a manifested reality. Soon after this I made my first t-shirt that began my first clothing line, selling out within a couple months, I had never felt so full of life. There's something "too good" about life sometimes, some things that happen seem to be too calculated. Coincidences are misunderstood and clearly represent the deeper connectedness of life and the word must be redefined. I believe coincidences show the interconnectedness of this reality in a way that logical thought cannot process. Following these coincidences could be the key of living your greatest potential in life, leading you down a path that you are best suited for. I also believe your perspective on these coincidences or just your life experience in general has a direct impact on your physical reality and what you experience. This idea I believe, is validated by the advancements in quantum physics and the knowledge we are gaining on the subject. That at the smallest dimensions of life, sub atomic particles can either act like waves or particles based on the observation of the experimenter. This information alone tells me that if at a fundamental level the very fabric that makes up our reality reacts to our observation of it. Therefore if we choose to have a positive and optimistic perspective on it that we are doing ourselves a favor in allowing the universe to bring to us life situations that match our inner feeling. I understand for some this may be an entirely new way to think about life but I think this only because from a young age we are taught that life is out of our control. I remember growing up and having my parents tell me "that's just life" all the time, as if life can't be what we make it to be instead of some replay of everyone else's life just in a different order with different details. I believe life is more free and limitless than to have that helpless mind state towards it. So I am curious to hear what kind of coincidences do you see in your life. Have you ever been thinking about someone just to see them in the grocery store 5 minutes later? Post a comment and tell me about some weird coincidences that have happened to you.

  1. I'm glad things worked out for you,and that one misfortune opened doors to the discovery of your creative passion!

    And I certainly agree that "choosing to have a positive and optimistic perspective" tends to improve people's chances of having things work out.

    But, the idea of quantum physics and the wave/particle duality connecting directly with the universe somehow manifesting our true desires is a little New Agey, a little Fantasyland, for me. As long as it works for you, though, congrats and continued good luck - may your happy coincidences continue!
