You may think that life just happens to you. The truth is you have a very important part to play.
Sometimes during the worst of times it seems that the universe is against us and we may find it hard to see our dreams through the fog. We may feel discouraged and lose track of where we want to go in life. Sometimes we settle and turn our head the other way, ignoring our lifelong dreams.
But with time, we get those soft nudges letting us know that we have clearly taken a detour, a detour not in the direction we had hoped to go. And if we ignore those nudges they become louder and louder UNTIL we are forced to listen. Unfortunately, this often manifests as issues with our health, our relationships, or our jobs.
Think about it: Do you often just keep going and going without much pause because there is so much to DO in life? And what happens if you do pause? Is there self-care? Do you find insight into where you are in the world and where you want to be?
You are a lucky one if you don’t have to be bedridden with an illness or experience significant conflict in your life in order to slow down and listen to your intuition.
The truth is that we are the creators of our own life. We have the ability to CHOOSE what path to take, what we desire, and what comes into our life. If something doesn’t feel right or honor us, we can choose to take our path somewhere different.
The important thing to remember is that we have free will and that free will isn’t just with our choices—it’s with our thoughts as well. If we continually have “stinking thinking,” the universe will respond accordingly and our life may feel a bit dismal.
See, it’s our energy that attracts things into our life. And with “stinking thinking” our energy is not full of love, light, hope, and passion. So the universe sends us what our energy puts out.
Consider waking up and instead of thinking, “I’m so tired,” think thoughts such as, “I’m energized. It’s going to be a great day.” These positive thoughts contain a completely different energy and attract more of what we really want in life versus what we don’t want. Changing our thinking is instrumental in creating the life of our dreams.
In addition to controlling our thoughts, we must also be willing to follow signs and open doors. If we are continually sending out energy that we would like to create something new but then fail to follow the path laid out, the universe will stop opening up the road and shut it down for further passage.
Although fear can keep us from jumping in feet first, we always have the option to move forward one step at a time. Any step forward is a step in the right direction. We can feel proud for moving at all. Some people stay stuck for their entire lives and end up with significant regrets at the end. It is not necessary to live a life in which we continually settle.
There are many reasons why we might stay stuck, but when we are willing to keep moving forward, the universe will show up and provide what we need along the way. It’s a matter of trusting not only in you but also in the divine energy of the universe that wants us to have what we desire.
I encourage you to take a step forward toward your dreams today. You don’t have to leap, unless you want to, but at least take that first step. What is it you really want? Walk towards it and allow the universe to guide you.
You deserve to have the magnificent life you desire. Don’t let your thoughts or anything around you stop the manifestation of all your dreams. You can do this. I believe in you!
