Am I allowing for synchronicity?

Over the last several years, my non-scientific analysis would lead me to believe that synchronicities in my life were happening with an increasing frequency, and I'm 100% down with this trend.

Every time this happens, it is a beautiful experience and a reminder of the interconnectedness of it all. It reveals something that was previously unseen.

For simplicity, I like this definition of synchronicity:

Synchronicity is an experience of two or more events which occur in a meaningful manner, but which are causally unrelated.

Previous versions of me would either be blind to such connections or write them off as completely random events. I've since learned to pay more attention and be open to what is being shown to me.

Some of my most profound breakthroughs, personal growth and critical decisions have come as a result a of well-timed synchronicity to open my eyes, mind, body and spirit to something that was previously inconceivable.

I have also come to believe that these synchronicities are happening all around us all the time.

It is up to us to put our phones down, not be so busy, avoid the constant rush or hurry to our next obligation. It is up to us to not be overwhelmed or too open or too closed emotionally. It is up to us to not write things off as mere coincidence, as random mathematical probability.

I've developed a self-care routine that has helped me increase the possibility of synchronicities. Meditation, yoga, long walks, nature and introspection have worked well for me.

When we pay attention at a more meta level, I believe the answers are all around us. Let's ensure we are doing our part to be able to receive these synchronicities and the information and magic they hold.

Why am I obsessed with asking better questions?

When we ask better questions, we get better answers.

It's really as simple as that.

And I'm always looking for better answers: solving complex problems, discovering innovation beyond the surface level and exploring profound upgrades in my own personal growth. Asking powerful questions are the key to unlocking all of that and so much more.

Asking better questions forces me to stop talking and listen. My curiosity takes over. I can't help it. I stop thinking about what I'm going to say next, I drop any agenda or attachment to guiding the conversation in any specific direction and I wait to receive the magic that flows from the answer.

As simple and as grandiose as it may sound, asking better questions has the power to change the world. At the very least, it's going to help us find better answers, and that's a hell of a place to start.
