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.

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.

Speed Bumps Slow You Down

… so you can proceed with caution.

Not everything in our lives is meant to happen instantaneously. Some situations take time to cultivate. But in our society we are so trained in instant gratification that when things don’t go according to our plan, we get frustrated and anxious and impatient and try to force situations to come about unnaturally.

It is important to note that on our planet everything works on its own timeline and NOTHING can be rushed. The universe maintains perfect time management in terms of bringing you the situations you need, exactly when you need them. There is no room for negotiation here. As we know, things happen for a reason and they happen when they are supposed to.

So, why is it that we encounter speed bumps in our lives? Why doesn’t everything happen when we want it to? The answer is easy. When you hit a speed bump, it is an enforced period of reflection & analyses where you are being asked to proceed forward with caution. In essence, you are being held back from what you think you want/need and are being asked to evaluate the situation and your role within it. Are you sure you are ready to go there? Do you have all the tools you need in place to manage that next step? Is this opportunity truly going to meet your needs? Have you considered other possibilities? These are all reasons why we hit speed bumps – it is a built-in process to protect us from jumping into situations that might NOT be right for us.

The road ahead is always uncertain, but you can be certain that when you hit a speed bump, you are being asked to slow down and process the direction you are heading. If the path ahead was clear for you, you wouldn’t hit a speed bump. Heed the warning and use the time to evaluate what’s ahead of you. You might decide you don’t even want to be on that road. Speed bumps are the disruptions that bring ultimate clarity.
