Squire Rushnell:
Well a coincidence is anything that makes you say, "What are the mathematical odds of that happening?" Or it's the definition that's in the American Heritage Dictionary, which is something that happens that seems like an accident but may or may not be.

Squire Rushnell, author of the book, When God Winks…

It is when you see them in totality that you start realizing that, that they have some import. In fact if you go back and uncover every turning point in your life you'll see that there were little coincidences there or big coincidences. And what I see them as are signs of reassurance that you're on the right path. And the wonder thing is it's going to keep on unfolding in the future if you start paying attention to them.

Call it coincidence luck or whatever you want, Squire says…

Every single person that I've talked to who is successful has confirmed that they indeed had incredible coincidences happening all along their lives. Whether they were moguls in industry or people who were successful in their own families in their own marriages.

And attitude has a lot to do with it.

I believe that if you perceive yourself as successful all the forces around you are going to help you get to be successful. If you see yourself as failing chances are you're going to fulfill that prophecy. You're going to fulfill that perception you have in your own head.
