Life is full of intersections—moments where two paths cross, two events align, or two intentions find harmony. Sometimes, we wait for the perfect timing, hoping that life’s randomness will bring things together on its own. Other times, we take control, bending circumstances to our will, making things coincide by force, effort, or sheer determination.
Think of the sunrise meeting the sea, a friend showing up just when you need them, or an idea striking at the exact moment you have the means to execute it. These moments feel like fate, like the universe conspiring in our favor. But more often than not, alignment isn’t just about waiting—it’s about creating.
We align our schedules to meet people we care about. We time our moves in business, relationships, and opportunities. We study trends, anticipate waves, and position ourselves in their path so that when they arrive, they carry us forward instead of leaving us behind.
But what happens when things refuse to coincide? When the pieces don’t fit, no matter how much we nudge them? Maybe that’s when patience comes in—when we step back, realign, and trust that either the timing will adjust or that we’re meant to take a different route altogether.
In the end, making it coincide is a balance—part strategy, part surrender. It’s knowing when to push and when to let things fall into place on their own. Because sometimes, the most beautiful coincidences are the ones we never saw coming.
