When Carl Jung first coined the term synchronicity in the 1920's, he postulated a theory that independent people, ideas, and/or events may occur simultaneously as part of a larger pattern, framework, or design that is logical in nature and the purpose of which is inherently beyond complete human understanding or comprehension. In a sense, it is the idea that there are no coincidences.
Even if you believe that everything is random outside of causes and their effects, it is hard to ignore the underlying pattern that keeps emerging within our lives, sometimes across generations, that seems to "steer" us in a certain direction. We can exercise our free will and resist this pattern, going our own way (which may actually be part of the pattern as well), but inevitably, life finds a way to correct our course, a correction often viewed as failure. Personally, I view this pattern as God's plan for us, but I am empathetic enough to those who do not believe as I do to listen and entertain their opinions without being offended.
Whether we believe in God or not, most of us believe that we must have some purpose to our existence. If you were born into this world, or even if you haven't been born yet, you've had an impact on other humans, therefore the world, in some way, shape, or form. Finding our purpose in life is often difficult, but when we find it, we know we've found it. Even if your purpose seems to go against logic, rational thought, or what others view as acceptable, it will be allowed to continue if it is part of this pattern.
