The Power of Thought
Recently, I have been experiencing various forms of synchronicities. In one instance, a friend and I were chatting about a specific topic and I brought up a mutual friend among us. Within a few minutes, the mutual friend brought up in conversation, texted me directly about the exact same topic! It was a clear indication that all 3 of us were unknowingly thinking about the same thing at the same time.
This particular phenomenon reminded me of an inexplicable occurrence that I went through 3 years ago. It was my my birthday week and on this particular day, I was craving a kale & quinoa salad from Mendocino Farms. At the time, I had free food delivery on the GrubHub app but they didn’t have Mendocino Farms! I checked other food apps and DoorDash actually had the store. I wanted to get additional items, especially adding bacon on my salad! Upon looking at the total cost including expanded delivery and service fees, the birthday splurge didn’t make sense anymore. After 30 minutes of debating whether or not to indulge, I unwilling gave up on the idea.
Instead, I decided to order something else on GrubHub due to free delivery. To my surprise, upon the delivery of my order, I actually received a DoorDash order that had my exact kale & quinoa salad, with bacon! Not only was it from Mendocino Farms, but there were also two additional sandwiches with the salad! I had to double check my phone and confirmed that I never actually went through with the expensive salad order. When I called GrubHub, they informed me that the driver must have dropped off the wrong bag so I received a full refund! I was astonished at the power of my thoughts and how the universe intervened on my behalf.
What are the chances of accidentally receiving an order from the initial food location I wanted? What about the chances of getting the exact initial salad I wanted? The fact that I received the one I actually wanted, confirmed the power of my intention. Based on this experience, my takeaway is learning to recognize the power of my intuition in order to harness my unlimited capacity.
