There are no coincidences, no wrong turns…

A good friend sent this quote to me this morning and I took its words to heart.  I do believe the Universe is always sending messages and it’s our job to be still long enough to hear and see what’s being said.

Today one of these messages sounded out loud and clear.  It involved communication with another person and the trust I placed in that person to follow through with her word.  My expectation was that the person was indeed going to follow through with the plan that she had suggested.  I assumed (and yes, I know the joke) that if something presented itself that would keep her from following through with our plan, she would let me know.

There were indeed some obstacles that were present, mostly that would have prevented me from following through with the plan.  But I made a decision that I could work through those obstacles.  And indeed, I was successful.

But it seems that the other person didn’t take the commitment as seriously and “forgot” about the plan that was in place.   So there were three hours in my life that I was on the road and without any follow through with the plan.

So indeed, the whole day of events was no coincidence.  I have no doubt that it turned out exactly as it was supposed to, even though it wasn’t what I had hoped.  And I’m OK with that.  Lesson learned as I told my friend who sent me this quote.

Who knows, perhaps I was being detoured around a meeting that would have results far from desirable…that’s not for me to say.
