Coincidences

Ok, so, I'm exploring a cool unique niche and, while exploring affiliate/cpa type offers for site monetization, I stumble upon one that's like 85% cool, and unique, but just not quite there. So, I plug their contact email into Google to see if they're doing anything else on the web (like its not a good sign if you find their support email is being used for forum flame wars over Star Wars episodes), and I find one reference on a page about Guerilla Marketing with the added keyword "BANGLADESH"...

...and, at the same exact moment, as I'm reading the word, BANGLADESH, there's a University of California TV episode of some global warming author, on some obscure station I just happened to channel surf to earlier, and he mentions the word BANGLADESH....

BANGLADESH!

At the very same time I was reading it. I would normally not even be on either that channel, or searching on a support email for affiliate data info for a cool, but obscure, niche topic.

Weird, eh?

Anything similar ever happen to you?

    I don't believe in coincidences. I believe that occurrences that look like coincidences are road signs. I pay very close attention when something like that happens to me. When energies coincide there is usually reason.

      But then, sometimes coincidences are only coincidental

      I totally agree. There is no such thing as a coincidence. This has happened to you for a reason. Don't ignore it. Follow the signs.

    Well, I think these things are strange, but I also don't go the other direction and start reading prophetic meanings into them, either. When you take the full range of POSSIBLE "coincidences" and realize how many DON'T happen, the ones that do make perfect sense -- they are just the handful of "coincidences" that DID manifest.

    But, I'm not sure it's wise to base my future life decisions on BANGLADESH. lol

    Bangledesh? Uh - na. Gorilla Marketing. There is an idea for you in that site.

    Got to know which direction stuff points in or it ALL seems pointless.
