Everything Is Always Working Out For You

… even when you think it isn’t.

You may not understand WHY things happen the way they do in your life, but that doesn’t mean that they’re NOT purposeful.

Not everything that happens to you will make sense right away. In fact, in most cases, things that you deem “bad,” will turn out to be the very best things that ever happened to you. Why, you might ask? Because we never have full clarity in the moment. We never realize why things are happening the way they are because transition stirs up the dust so we cannot see clearly. But once the dust settles, we can see why we are, where we are, and it always make sense.

All you can do in life is chart a course and then stay that course. But that does not mean that you’ll NOT be detoured off that course. In other words, you can pick a path for yourself, but if it’s a path that you’re not meant to be on, you’ll be tossed off it and thrown onto a different path. And as traumatic as that transition is, it always lands you onto a much better path. Trust that.

Trust the process of your life. Things are always working out for you, even when you do not realize that they are. The universe works behind the scenes to bring you to exactly the right circumstances for you. You may not always get what you want, but you’ll always get what you need, whether or not you know you need it at the time. Everything is always working out for you, you’re never at a loss. Once you understand that, your life will change in the most amazing ways.

You Do Not Have to Have All The Answers

… you just have to be able to ask the right questions.

Then be willing to LISTEN to yourself.

In other words, you don’t have to know where you’re going in life, but you do need to be able to ask yourself whether you are happy, fulfilled and contented.

It’s about the questions, NOT the answers. When you can ask those difficult questions, the answers will naturally be revealed to you because asking the questions ALWAYS reveals the answers.

You don’t have to have a grand plan. You don’t have to know where you are headed. You don’t need to know how it is going to work out. You just have to recognize that where you are currently standing isn’t making you happy anymore and that it’s time for a change. Don’t worry about what that change will look like, just take one step AWAY from what is not working, so you can start finding what will work.

Finding yourself is a lifelong journey. It evolves one step at a time. You don’t need to have all the answers, you only need to be able to ask yourself those tough questions and then allow yourself to make a move away from what is not working towards something that feels slightly better.

Never hold yourself back because you do not have all the answers as to where you are going. Just focus on asking the questions and moving away from what isn’t working anymore. Then let the universe do the rest. When you walk away from what isn’t working, you naturally make space for what will work to make its way to you. Asking the questions, always reveals the answers.

Fighting The Flow of Your Life

… gets you washed out.

There is a flow to your life, but many times we resist it. We naturally fear change. So when life provides us with opportunities to grow in a new direction, sometimes we shun it in favor of staying where we are. But there is a reason why life offers new opportunities; it’s usually because it’s time to grow and expand. When it’s time to move on, the universe will push us along our path and challenge us to take a risk to move forward.

You are always in control of your life and if you use your free will to resist this new current, you will only succeed in exhausting yourself. Swimming upstream makes you tired; it’s literally an uphill battle. Surrender is the name of the game. If life seems to be pushing you in a certain direction and you are resisting it, ask yourself why? What are you afraid of? Fears are meant to be pushed through because freedom and success are always on the other side.

Fears keep you small, risks make you great. By flowing with the path of your life, you are always certain to get to where you need to be. The river knows where it ends. Swimming back upstream to change the direction of your life never serves you. If you weren’t meant to be on that river, you wouldn’t be on it. Trust that the river knows where it is meant to be flowing and kick back and enjoy the ride.

Whatever happens is bringing you to a better place, if you can just trust in the process. Stop trying so hard to resist your life. Acceptance and trust goes a long way to helping you create the life of your dreams. Fighting the flow of your life gets you washed out; flowing with it brings you to where you need to be (even if you didn’t realize you needed to be there.) After all, if you weren’t meant to be on that river, you wouldn’t be on it; since you’re on it, you’re meant to flow with it, not fight against it.

If It’s Complicated

… it isn’t meant to be happening right now.

It’s as simple as that.

Everything happens in its own time here on planet Earth. Just because you want something to come together now, doesn’t mean it will.

Your pushing for it to come together before its time only creates obstacles and frustration. If it was meant to be in your life right now, it would be working out. The fact that it isn’t working out for you as quickly as you would like it too is your indication that it is not yet ready to be in your life.

All the forceful pushing and prodding for it to manifest will not manifest it any quicker. In fact, it will only create problems for you. The universe is your own built-in buffer system. It keeps what is not ready for you at bay until it is at a place where you can dance with it.

If it is meant to be in your life, it comes together quite naturally with an ease that only the universal flow can bring. But if it is not yet ready to be in your life, it will not come together with great ease, there will be hardships, obstacles and delays. This is your indication to take a step back from the situation and release your grip.

In actuality you do not want to force your will on yourself. You do not want something that is not at your level. Take back your energy and put that energy into something else. When it is time for that situation to manifest in your life, it will come together and if it doesn’t, it was never going to.

The Log That Saves You

… will eventually pull you down.

You cannot continue in a pattern of survival forever. But there is always the tendency to get stuck on that log. After all, it saved you at one point and out of habit, it is easy to grow dependent upon it. But dependency never yields success. Relying on your log for survival gets old fast and eventually you tire of holding it and the log yields to your weight and you both sink. So what once saved you will ultimately destroy you if you do not allow yourself to evolve beyond it. 

The game is not about surviving but thriving. You have to learn to move beyond the safety net of what once served you and push the boundaries into a new life for yourself. No one is going to do it for you. Holding onto that log does not keep you safe, it holds you back from becoming great. We all have our logs in lives – the people, the jobs, the situations that came in and saved us at a time when we needed it. That time is now over and the rest of your life is ready to begin. Learn to leave those logs behind and trust yourself that you can swim to a new side of that lake and create a new life for yourself. Any time you are ready to let go of your log, the rest of your life is waiting to begin. Are you ready to take a chance?

Trust The Process of Your Life

… it will never lead you astray.

Your life is perfectly orchestrated to bring you exactly what you need to experience when you need to experience it. Nothing ever shows up haphazardly. And nothing ever shows up that you are not ready and able to handle.

Life is a process of growing and evolving and learning through experiences. Trust in the process of your life, trust in the wisdom that every situation you encounter is one that has been specifically planned for your highest good. If it wasn’t meant for you, it wouldn’t be happening to you. Your life has an intelligence all its own and an intelligence that should never be questioned.

When you are going through a tough time, it always helps to remind yourself that this is happening to bring you to a much better place. It wouldn’t be happening otherwise. The universe isn’t out to torture you; it is out to teach you.

Believe it or not this is the life you signed up for, so make it work for you. Follow your path and realize that the difficult situations are the ones that make you better and provide you with a much richer and happier existence.

Life is tough. No doubt. But when you can learn to trust in the process of your life and accept where it has brought you to, the rewards are always richly granted. Remember the universe always has your back. So, learn to trust the process of your life to bring you to where you need to be. There isn’t anywhere else to go. Enjoy the process.

Things Happen For a Reason

… whether or not you understand that reason.

We hear this expression over and over again in times of need. Although it is of little consolation to hear that the pain you may be experiencing is happening purposely. Why would this be happening to me, we ask? What did I do to deserve this? What reason could there possibly be for this to be happening?

Our human mind is somewhat limited in our ability to process an understanding of why things may work out in a way in which we do not accept/do not prefer, etc… This tends to complicate our experience. If you could remember that your life exists in a state of divine perfection (whether that makes sense to you or not sometimes), then you would recognize that you are exactly where you are supposed to be.

We always think we know exactly what we need at any given time and when life does not unfold as such, we get upset, discouraged and angered. We feel victimized and we fall prey to negative thought patterns which only succeed in drawing exactly those fears to us as our next experience. It is a vicious cycle and one which is extremely and de-constructively painful.

The wise amongst us know that we may not always get exactly what we want at any given time, but we always get what we need, whether or not we know we need it at the time. That is the way of the universe. It can be no other way. You are not being punished for anything, you are not being tortured. If you are not getting something/someone that you are looking for, trust that for the moment, it is being withheld from you because it is not quite at the vibration you require to have a harmonious connection with it.

You see, everything is energy and energy vibrates in frequency. When it is time for you to meet a particular person, situation or experience, your vibration will attract that particular energy’s vibration and it will be drawn to you. If is not being drawn to you, it is not of your “caliber” right now. It is not at your level. Therefore you will not attract it.

Now painful situations are also magnetically attracted to you – but again, not to punish you, but to offer learning and healing. Look at your life in a bigger way. Look back and remember that those negative experiences you have had are actually those that have brought you to a better place. It may be hard to see it while you are going through it, but it doesn’t make it any less true for you. It is the way of the universe. Trust that you will be given exactly what you need at any given moment. The more you are able to open up and accept the way things are, the easier time you will have with life’s many transitions. Things happen for a reason. Trust that and let what needs to be, BE.

Be Where You Are

… a.k.a. “The Waiting Game.”

Ever get tired of waiting for things to happen? Waiting for just that right opportunity to come through? Waiting for just that right person to walk into your life? Waiting for just the right conditions before you can move or sell your home?

In our fast paced society, we are so conditioned to want things instantaneously. We are impatient and demanding, and subsequently extremely unhappy when things do not work out the way we expect them to or within the timeline we require. Somehow we tend to feel deprived, or even worse lost when what we want is out of reach. Waiting is a game we do not inherently know how to play successfully. It seems tedious, fruitless and a waste of our resources. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth.

Waiting is actually a necessary evil along our path. Know this… if something or someone is being held from you, there is a specific reason. You may not know it at the time, but you are obviously being held back from pursuing a specific relationship, new job or new home, etc… If it was right for you, it would be right in front of you. The fact that there is an enforced separation for the time being is your indication that something is still needed before those new conditions can come into play. Your work is to find out what is still needed (if it is on your part). Maybe you have some more emotional work or reflection to do on your path before you can begin a new relationship? Or maybe your partner is the one who has the work to do? Maybe there is a different type of training that is required for you to fall into that new job opportunity? Whatever the reason, if the new conditions have not yet made themselves apparent, it is because it is not yet time for them to come to fruition.

Be where you are. Be content with where life has brought you to. You are where you are for a reason. Enjoy it. Live it. Go deeply into it. There is a lesson there for you and when you can uncover the treasure that this time is bringing you, you will move onto the next step with ease. Life is a process. With every step we take, we learn more and more about ourselves. Stop whining about not having what you want and start living your life right here, right now. As soon as you stop looking for what you think is missing, what you are searching for will deposit itself right onto your front doorstep. Trust the process that is your life. The universe always has your back. There is no better place to be in life then to be exactly where you are.

Perfection is in the Imperfection

Learn to make a mess out of your life. The best work comes from letting go.

We often times try to hyper-control the outcome of our lives. It never works. We think perfection only comes through control. Actually, perfection comes from the surrender. When we let go of trying to control the result, we usually end up with a much better product. For example, most brilliant creative work is often times found through mistakes. It is when we surrender and do something “wrong” or “unplanned” that we find something even better than we imagined.

We are so fearful of being out of control but if we could find solace in the knowing that when we release control, we give it over to the universe/divine power which knows better than we. You know the saying, “we make a plan and God laughs” – there is nothing more true.

Hyper controlling your life keeps you locked in fear. Surrender opens you up to opportunities that you would have never envisioned for yourself. When you get out of the way of yourself, beautiful opportunities can present themselves.

Perfection is seldom something that is achieved but more often than not is something that is stumbled upon. Almost despite ourselves, we find through our errors and foibles a much better and more satisfying existence. What are you waiting for? Start making a mess!
