When You Never Saw It Coming

… it was coming for you.

Have you ever been blindsided by an event? Was something taken away from you completely out of the blue?

If it was surprisingly ripped away from you and you never saw it coming; YOU WERE MEANT TO LOSE IT. 

As humans, we struggle with making the right decisions for ourselves. What if we let go of something and are left with immense regret? We might forever beat ourselves up if we make the wrong decision, right?

Here’s how your life works — if a decision is made BY YOU, you can forever regret it; but if a decision is made FOR YOU, know that THE UNIVERSE HAS CHOSEN IT.   

Free will can mess up a lot of stuff. Fate knows better.

Never lament something that is ripped away from you. Trust that universal forces are at play on your behalf. Whatever was taken off your path was NEVER going to stand the test of time.

When you never saw it coming, it was certainly coming for you. Look past the pain. Feel comfort in the decision that the universe made on your behalf. If it wasn’t right for you; it wouldn’t have happened to you. It may not feel very good at the time, but the wisdom of that decision will see to it that you be placed onto a much better path.

When Things Don’t Work Out Your Way

… they’re working out in an EVEN BETTER way.

There is only one reason why something wouldn’t work out the way you wanted it to and that’s if there was something EVEN BETTER making its way towards you.

Sometimes we get caught up in pushing our agenda forward. But if something is not coming together the way you want, there’s always a reason…

It could be that it’s not yet time for it to work.

It could be that one or more of the parties involved are not yet ready for it to work.

Or it might just be that there’s an outcome that you’ve not yet considered that would be EVEN BETTER for you.

Regardless, if something isn’t working out the way you’d hoped, it’s critical that you STEP BACK and know that it’s for your higher good and that a better outcome is just around the corner.

It’s not up to you to make something work, it’s only up to you to allow what is meant to work make its way to you.

Stop thinking you have all the RIGHT ANSWERS and start trusting in the universe to deliver you to all the RIGHT PLACES. You might be pleasantly surprised to find out where it brings you.

It Is In Giving That We Receive

… so if you want something, GIVE it to someone else.

Everything is energy.  The universe reads what is around you and continues to give you more of it. It doesn’t matter if you are receiving it or giving it, the energy of it is around you. So if you feel as if it is NOT specifically in your life, give it to someone else and the energy of having “it around you” will bring it directly to you.

Think of it as a Karmic bank account. In order to withdrawl something, you must put something into the account. So to withdrawl exactly what you want, it must already be in the account. If you are putting it out into the universe for others, it will be in your account to withdraw at your leisure when you want it. If you are not putting it out into the universe, there is nothing in your account to withdrawl and things do not change.

When you give, you receive the same energy in return. For example:

If you want more money… donate money to a cause or someone who needs it.

If you want a more supportive work environment… give support to others in your life (family, friends, colleagues)

If you want romantic love… give love to others (family, friends, pets, strangers)

If you want more appreciation for the work you do – show appreciation for everything around you (gifts, friendships, food, experiences)

If you wish people were kinder to you – show small acts of kindness to everyone around you (whether they deserve it or not)

It is only in giving that we receive, so this holiday season, if you want something, GIVE it to someone else. There is no big secret here. The universe may seem to work in mysterious ways, but it is all very logical. It is only in the giving that we will ever receive what we want in life. Are you ready to give? Happy Holidays!
