Seth Kahan on Leadership // Monday Morning Mojo
Exquisite Synchronicity is a Breakthrough Opportunity
A synchronicity is defined as: the simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection. In other words, there does not appear to be any way one could have caused the other - they arise at the same time.  You could call it luck, but if you're using the term, synchronicity, there is likely a very special relationship.

Exquisite means both extremely beautiful and intensely felt.  For example,

And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
With a note or two to indicate it isn't lost,
On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles
- John Ashbery

...in the spiritual light or darkness which they pour into our souls, I have felt entering into me a kind of vision of the childhood of their creators. Some little sorrow, some small pleasure of the child, inordinately inflated by an exquisite sensibility, become later on in the adult man, even without his knowing it, the basis of a work of art.
- Charles Baudelaire

Think for a moment on those exquisite synchronicities that are part of your life today: perhaps you know a certain group of people interested in a common quest, or you are visiting a particular location where you can discover something you have always been interested in, or there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to raise an important topic with a close friend you will meet face-to-face today.

Each of these represent the possibility of dramatic, positive change in the future, opening up a new vein of precious activity, revealing a new spring of joy. Here is your breakthrough opportunity in all its glory. What  will you do?

Whan the sunne shinth make hay.
Whiche is to say.
Take time whan time cometh,
lest time steale away.

- John Heywood
