Note: This was originally posted on Medium, but I’m completely moving it to Substack.
Sometimes little synchronicities happen that don’t require a full story. I’ll note these here and update this document as they happen.
8/19/24:
I wrote about following the clues that show up in your life here. If you see or hear something three or more times in a pretty short period of time, then that’s something to pay attention to.
That just happened to me.
I heard the same story on two different podcasts, and read it in The Psychology of Money, all within a few days of each other.
I’m going to copy the story from The Psychology of Money. (It’s on page 37 in the paperback version.)
“John Bogle, the Vanguard founder who passed away in 2019, once told a story about money that highlights something we don’t think about enough:
At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch-22 over its whole history. Heller responds, ‘Yes, but I have something he will never have…enough.’"
I don’t 100% know what this clue means for me yet. I understand the message, but I don’t know how it fits into my life.
But maybe someone out there reading this also needs this message…
8/13/24:
Today I was writing about a topic in my journal. I wrote this exact question in there…
“Do I need to chill a little more? Or do I need to ramp up the energy around this?”
Soon after, I went to the park for a walk, and I passed a kid wearing a shirt that said “Just Chill”.
Message received!
(Note: I saw the “Just Chill” kid again with the same shirt 2 days later.)
7/24/24: I’ve been focusing on two main words lately. Luxury and extraordinary.
I’ve heard the word “luxury” in several YouTube videos recently.
And today I was watching a video with one of my favorite YouTubers. He was playing a game, and during the game, the word “extraordinary” popped up in huge letters!
7/4/24: I was taking my morning walk and listening to YouTube, as always. I was also chanting a mantra in my mind.
“The universe has infinite abundance. I only need to tap into it. I deserve what I desire.”
I opened my email because I needed to send myself a reminder note about something I was listening to.
When I opened it, I had:
1 affiliate payment
1 new affiliate sale
1 recurring affiliate sale
3 ebook sales
I don’t think I’ve ever had so many sales and payments come in at one time.
That’s wild!
6/27/24: For 75 Hard, one of the requirements is to read 10 pages of a book every day. I finished the first book and needed to pick a new one. I am a book collector and have a ton I haven’t read yet!
I decided on one I bought a couple of years ago, but never got to.
Later, I was on a walk listening to a YouTube video. The person talking was saying there was one book that changed her life forever when she read it.
It was the exact book I picked out!
I got so many chills.
It’s not like the book was Atomic Habits or some other super famous book. It’s The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. That’s pretty wild!
And also a clue to me that I picked the right book and it’ll have an impact on my life.
6/14/24: This isn’t a synchronicity, but it feels like a clue. I went to the park today for a walk, and right on the path was a fortune from a fortune cookie. I picked it up because it caught my eye. The fortune says:
“Be prepared to stand by your principles, even in difficult times.”
I’m going to play the numbers on the back in a few different lottery games. You never know…!
6/8/24: On Saturday, my husband and I went to the mall. We went into the Porsche store (he loves them!) and they had two cars in the little store. One of them is one I have been eyeing from afar for a while. A white Macan.
(What’s weird is I don’t like white cars. Except for this one! What’s also weird is that I don’t really care about cars at all, especially expensive ones. So I’m not sure why I’m fixated on this particular model.)
6/10/24: I went to the park on Monday and was fiddling with my phone. When I looked up, I noticed one parked right across from me.
6/12/24: I went to get coffee on Wednesday, and there was one parked across from me.
6/13/24: Saw two more white Macans.
6/14/24: Saw one at the shopping center.
?: I saw one at the park not too long ago, but I forgot to write it down, and now I don’t remember the date. Oops!
8/13/24: I keep forgetting to write when I see these! I saw a white one not too long ago. I’ve seen a beautiful creamy-colored one a few times too. I love that one also.
6/8/24 — I was on the Peloton taking a class and watching VegasLowRoller on YouTube. He started singing the song that was on in the casino, which was Lenny Kravitz’s Fly Away. Less than a minute later, the same song came on during the Peloton class.
