19 Amazing Coincidences That Made Me Stop In My Tracks

Good things are ahead.

Starting a new decade can be daunting, so it's understandable if you're feeling a little nervous.

But the upside is that — if you brush your worries aside — you’ll see the incoming decade has the potential to be a time of great success when literally anything can happen!

1. Is there something you want to accomplish in the '20s but worry the odds are a little long? Well, this pigeon literally pooped out a self portrait of itself...

2. ...and this fish somehow defied certain death after a cat knocked over its bowl. If they can do THAT, who says you can’t defy the odds too?

3. The fact of the matter is that anyone who has ever accomplished something great did it despite long odds, but that didn't stop them from trying!

4. People love to tell you all the things that you can't do, but the reality is unexpected things happen ALL the time.

5. You just have to open your eyes and look around.

6. This isn't to say you won't have to work hard to make your dream happen, you will, but don't let anyone tell you it's impossible — we live in a world where a curly fry came out shaped perfectly like a treble clef...

7. ...where three friends met for lunch and discovered they were all wearing the same dress...

8. ...where the serial number on a pizza cutter just happened to be P177A...

9. ...where these guys sat down next to each other on a plane and realized they looked almost exactly alike...

10. ...where these two lookalikes stumbled across each other at the mall...

11. ...where you can discover a bird that looks amazingly like Danny DeVito...

12. ...and where two people went to the same concert, took almost the exact same shot, and then met three years later and fell in love!

13. As the saying goes, "the harder you work, the luckier you become in life," and luck is out there. This guy avoided a speeding ticket thanks to this perfectly-timed bird...

14. ...this car managed to come out unscathed as an earthquake destroyed everything around it...

15. ...and this lost dog was discovered because he sat down to take a nap under this sign!

16. And maybe, just maybe the world will give you a wink of support. How else can you explain this guy who was inspired to become a pilot after sitting in this helicopter as a boy, then, upon growing up and becoming a pilot, ended up flying that EXACT helicopter!

17. So don't give up on your dreams no matter what they are! If you're looking to find someone but don't think there's anyone out there for you, know this six-toed gentleman found this four-toed lady.

18. Long story short, there will be lots of rainbows (some double ones!) to be found in the decade ahead, so go find yours.

19. And be sure to wear your rainbow jacket when you do!
