Precognition, Manifestation, or just plain coincidence

I frequently ask myself the following 3 part question:

Is what just happened precognition, manifestation, or just plain chance?

What's the difference?

1.  Precognition (knowing something will happen before it happens).

2. Manifestation (making something happen by thinking about it).

3.  Coincidence- nothing but chance.

Here is an example:

This morning I opened my door, intending to go for my "daily vacation" - an hour long bike ride.

As soon as I touched the handle bars on the bike I had a vision of riding my bike and the back tire going flat.

Now when I say "I had a vision" I mean the image just popped into my head- simple as that. Nothing like you see in the movies, just the image playing through my mind.  The suddenness of the thought in context with what was happening at the time is what took me off guard- that is why I call it a vision... anyway, you get the idea.

I have learned to accept these things for what they are - opportunity!  Somehow I have a chance to do something about what I see.  Usually it is something as simple as the feeling of wanting to drive a different route to work. If I take the "advice/warning" I just "received", and take a different path, I avoid an accident on the 1st road. Who knows, I could have been IN the accident, or maybe I just avoided the delay due to the traffic jam. Sometimes I find out about the accident later and sometimes I don't. But if I hear nothing, then that doesn't mean there wasn't a good reason. 
A friend of mine says that "someone was watching out for me".  Whatever the cause, I have learned to listen.  There have been many times in the past when I ignored a vision/warning- whatever you call it, and paid the price.  I have learned the hard way that "something" tells us to LOOK OUT for something that can happen. Now I always listen!

Anyway, back to my story:

When I had the vision of getting a flat I did what anyone would have done - I inspected the tires! No nails, air pressure OK, nothing wrong.  So what should I do? Not go for a bike ride?  Change my route?
OK  I told myself, if I do get a flat tire it will be no big deal.  I will just have to push the bike home, and that just means more exercise- which is the whole point of the bike ride anyway- so off I went.

The whole time I was riding I kept asking myself about the vision.  Why would I think about getting a flat? What did it mean... if anything? And where did the vision come from?  Well I had been riding for a half hour and was enjoying the ride.  I turned around for the return trip home and - you guessed it - Pthhht! The tire went flat!

NOW WHAT?!
There was no nail, or any indication as to why it went flat, but it was definetely dead!
As I pushed the bike homeward I wondered... did I somehow see that this would happen (precognition)?  Or did I make it happen by thinking about it (manifestation)?
OR

was it a coincidence?  Or... did an Angel whisper in my ear (my friends explaination)?
I don't know which one is correct, but this kind of thing happens to me so frequently that it really doesn't matter in the long run.
After all, the result is the same.

One of my friends always tells me the same thing "It's only a coincidence!", but then he says "But why do they happen to you all the time?!".

In reality "coincidences" happen to everyone, but most people don't pay attention.  They ignore it.

So what can you do with a coincidence?
What do you do when one happens to you?

Start listening to these "impulses", or "hunches", or whatever you want to call them. Try to make them happen.  Who knows what they are.  The subconsious mind processes so much data that your consious mind doesn't even know about.  Maybe it correlates a bunch of facts and the "vision" is the way it tells you what you need to do.  Maybe this is the way that the subconsious mind gives you advice!

So start listening!  I know, you don't need to tell anyone about it because they might think your weird.  You can keep it to yourself, but start acting upon that "hunch".

USE IT!
You will never know how much you can accomplish until you try.
What if this is all just my imagination?
Well I say then FANTASTIC!  If it is my imagination, then it is smarter than I am, and I will listen to whatever it tells me!
It has improved my life in more ways than I can count.

Look at these things as advice from a very good advisor. 
What about you?
Are you smart enough to act on good advice from someone much smarter and more experienced than yourself? 
Does it really matter if  the advice comes from coincidence, manifestation, precognition, your subconsious mind, or an Angel whispering in your ear?

If you want to take control of your life then you have to choose.
Choose to follow the good advice you have been given and you can improve your life.

OR - you can ignore it all and live a life of chance.

As for me, I choose a life of action.

Want a better life? Then imagine it happening and it just might.
Choose a better life.
