Synchronicity: This term, coined by psychiatrist Carl Jung, refers to meaningful coincidences that seem to carry a deeper connection beyond mere chance. It's often described as the universe sending you signs or nudges along your path. Jung believed these occurrences could reflect a hidden order or interconnectedness in the world.

Serendipity: This word has a lighter, more playful feel. It describes pleasant surprises or discoveries that occur by chance, often leading to positive outcomes. Think of finding a hidden gem of a bookstore while wandering down a new street. Serendipity often involves openness and receptivity to unexpected opportunities.

Luck: This is the broadest term, encompassing both positive and negative events that seem beyond our control. It can be blind luck, like winning the lottery, or serendipitous luck, like finding a job through a chance encounter.

The key is to be open to these possibilities and see how they resonate with your own experiences. Do you see meaningful coincidences in your life? Do you embrace serendipitous discoveries? Do you believe in luck? By reflecting on these questions, you can deepen your understanding of these captivating concepts.

As a philosophical counsellor, Dr Luis de Miranda conducts individual online conversations with individuals from all over the world to help them make sense of their life, to help them feel a greater sense of the possible and of reality as an intercreative whole. He offers many discovery sessions free of charge to people from all continents who otherwise could not afford financially a form of therapy or dialogue that respects their dignity and thirst for meaning.

Philosophical health is not about finding what is wrong with a person in terms of diagnosis, norms or brain chemistry. It's about helping the person recover the mindful enthusiasm, holistic understanding and proactive serenity of being a whole human being, with a sense of purpose and the capacity to stand for what they believe is right and fair.
