LTMU #7 - There Is No Coincidence

Today my Psychology teacher had shown us a video on YouTube. The recording of the deceased Randy Pausch had over 14,000,000 views and I'm glad I was one of the people to view this lecture in my life time, you should too! Have a look --> The Last Lecture.

My most favourite quote out of all the good pieces of advice within this lecture, was at the end where he said, "It's not about how to achieve your dreams, its about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way the karma will take care of itself, the dreams will come to you."

There have been so many times within the past two years where events have occurred, sometimes the most simplest situations; it's as if I am experiencing dejavu... some sort of chance that what ever I have previously experienced or learned from a situation or by taking a certain class in high school, it has some how found a way to perfectly fit in with the courses I am taking right now. The fact that it was never planned - that I was just doing things because I felt like doing them, because I liked it. To have these things carry on and be some sort of significance in my life, I find is amazing.

I felt what Randy said really impacted me in the belief that there truly is no coincidence. I feel that right now, in this moment of my life I AM in the place I need to be in, where I've realized that I am destined for greatness. Each time I seem to experience one of these 'moments of reoccurence' I see it as a confirmation that my path in life is headed in the right direction. My life being 'well planned' thus far for me, was simply done by following my instincts, with only my wants and aspirations being kept kept in mind.

Today, this class made me feel a push inside of me, to really pull myself towards the OCADU application I was talking about in this entry and that I am really going to go for this - of course not right this second but I am keeping this plan safe under my pillow.
