Life is full of guidance and signs — do you see it?
I believe that everything in life has a purpose, and that coincidences don’t really exist — everything is about guidance. Guidance shows up differently for everyone, if you’re even open to seeing it. Of course, we all have free will, but life still tends to guide us in a certain direction.
You’ve probably experienced a moment in life where it felt like you were being guided toward a certain direction or place. Or maybe a new, important person entered your life “by coincidence,” or through a string of “random” events you found yourself a dream job. Or maybe you ended up somewhere “by accident,” and that moment sparked the most unforgettable adventure of your life. All of this could be just coincidence — or it could be guidance. It’s up to you how you choose to see it.
There’s also something we call inner guidance — our intuition. That ability to receive information or understanding without conscious reasoning, almost like a sixth sense. The knowing within often precedes both the mind and the body. When intuition leads you forward, you can hear it deep inside. Sometimes the mind may resist change, but your intuition knows and keeps guiding you forward anyway. By listening to your intuition, you might find yourself in places your mind could’ve never imagined. That’s the beauty of inner guidance.
But how can you start noticing signs on your own life path? And what even are these signs?
There are many types of signs — they’re all around us. Everyone can find their own kind, the ones that resonate with them.
For me, one of the signs I notice daily are Angel numbers. These are repeating number sequences that can appear anywhere. I open my phone and it’s 22:22. I glance at the microwave, and there is 1:11 left on the timer. The car in front of me has 777 on its license plate. Scrolling Instagram, I see that someone’s video has 333 likes. At the store, my receipt totals is 8,88 euros. The list goes on and on.
Another type of sign I receive constantly are feathers. I often see feathers lying on the ground. I get feather images in angel or tarot card readings. While scrolling social media, feathers appear again and again on my screen. I find feathers mysteriously appearing in my bag, only noticing them once I’m home.
So what do these signs mean to me?
Every number has its own meaning, and people interpret them differently. For me, Angel number 111 means trusting my intuition. 222 represents alignment with myself and the outer world. 333 is encouragement — a reminder to believe in myself and my abilities. Whenever I see these numbers, I pause and reflect on what I was thinking in that exact moment. Often, I receive confirmation about something I’ve been questioning or a little nudge to keep going. I smile and give thanks every single time I see an Angel number.
Feathers represent confirmation for me. For example, I might be out walking, wondering in my mind if it’s the right time to take a certain step, and a moment later, a feather appears right in front of me — a sign of reassurance. Sometimes, before a card reading, I quietly ask to receive an image of a feather as a sign that I’m aligned — and I always get one. During big life transitions, I see more feathers than usual, and each time, I give thanks for the guidance.
Where does this guidance and these signs come from?
To me, in the bigger picture, everything comes from the Universe — a vast and expansive concept, of course. I believe the Universe guides us and brings into our awareness exactly what belongs on our path. Angels have always been messengers to me, and I believe many signs come from them. We all live in our own version of reality. Seeing guidance and signs simply means being present and noticing what’s around us. You don’t have to believe in them — life reveals itself exactly as you choose to see it. <3
