Our life, from the very beginning, to our destiny, has already been fated. We are all given a spiritual soul in our mother's womb and a physical body to experience the journey to our destiny. Our fate is controlled by our parents until we are of age to exert upon our own journey in life. Coincidences are controlled by fate, in a sense, that we never know what is going to really happen in our future. The path to our destiny is fated by quite a few coincidences to guide us in the right direction. Sometimes we miss the cues by not paying enough attention to the signs.

As we are learning from our mistakes, we may briefly start down the wrong path sometimes due to free will and wrong choices we make. This does not mean we won't find our way back to our destined path, because life coincidences will align you once again by corresponding with what is fated for you eventually. We may never know the timing of these events, or actually what is in store for us, but we can be sure of whatever our fate is to be, coincidences will keep us accountable and humble our resistance without us even knowing sometimes.

A combination of coincidence and fate is insight into an unknown realm. We can't predict when something is going to happen to us, but little coincidences may lead you to clues about yourself to prevent any more harm to you or your body. A freak minor accident at work takes you to the emergency room, they find something else wrong with you that with corrective medication, it's treatable. Is this coincidence? It would seem like it, would it? This combination of coincidence and fate can be described as you don't know what your fate would have been if you hadn't had the accident and gone to the hospital. What a coincidence!

Things do happen to us for a reason!  We don't always understand why some things seem bad, or some things turn out for the good, but they are fated to be the way they are. If we can be patient, maintain grace through our hardships, loss, and difficulties, our journey to our destination will be rewarded. It's extraordinary that a mere coincidence can change the course of our lives by a fated chance or opportunity. Subtle forces are always guiding us to our true destiny. Pay close attention.
