Don’t underestimate the power of coincidence. Several times I have contemplated taking action to accomplish a certain thing. On some occasions I took no action, but the intended result happened anyway. If I had taken action and the result occurred, I would have thought it was because of my action. This makes me wonder how often we preceive our actions as the cause of a result, when really the result is coincidental to our action. In other words the result would have happened regardless of our action, but we in our own minds take credit for it.
