A mugging changes a young man's life for the better.

Confluence happens when you LIVE like YOU MEAN it!

Confluence (noun): convergence, coming together, a meeting or joining of two or more things, e.g., a point at which two or more streams combine.

You are all familiar with the idea of coincidence: an event that happens purely by chance but ends up supporting you in some unexpected way. You decide to replace your car, and two days later a friend mentions that they are selling theirs. You can’t stop thinking about someone on a given day, and sure enough they call.

I do not believe in coincidences. To me, each fortuitous twist of fate is really a confluence: it’s a meaningful coming together of events that is designed to support you in some way. Confluences can bring you guidance, insights, resources, support or important lessons that change your life for the better.

Just as two streams of water converge to create a larger, more powerful stream, so there are two streams of energy constantly interacting in your life. There is the stream of your own life and being: your thoughts, words, intentions and actions. And there is the infinite stream of universal consciousness, the energy of all that is.

Confluences do happen without your conscious intention. However, if you focus your thoughts, words and actions in a consistent and clear way you will accelerate both the number and magnitude of the confluences that come your way.

In other posts I will talk further about what you can do to accelerate confluences in your life. In this post I’d like to share a wonderful example of how confluence dramatically changed the life of a young man.

Carlos came from an inner city family; his parents could not afford to send him to college. When he was 17 he was mugged at knifepoint (the assailant had just been released from prison the day before). Carlos was seriously cut during the mugging. Nonetheless, he ran after his attacker and called out to a passing policeman who caught and arrested the man.

Carlos wouldn’t tell his parents about the mugging for fear that they would further restrict him from being on the street at night. Somehow the attacker’s family was able to get his phone number and they began to call him and threaten further violence if he ended up testifying in court.

In spite of the threats, Carlos followed his truth (hint) and went to court to testify. The DA ended up being so impressed by how well-spoken Carlos was that he later told Carlos about a large university that was offering scholarships to inner city youth. Carlos applied and was awarded a full scholarship.

When you LIVE like YOU MEAN it! ™ you learn to live your core truth with clarity, commitment and conviction. When you take that courageous first step, you open the floodgates to a tidal wave of confluences.
