Flow with the Universe
Embrace good vibes and learn to let
things flow. There is no need to force
outcomes. Once you are in harmony
with the Universe, what’s meant
to be yours will come to you.
No one in the world has always manifested every single goal they’ve wanted in
the time they’ve desired. You can change outcomes through your vibe, but you
must accept that things will unfold in their own time and for your highest good –
which sometimes means in a way you hadn’t imagined.
Once you’ve learned to hone your manifestation skills, you must let go of your
attachment to the goal. By trying to force or control the outcome, you breed
resistance by feeding fear and doubt. When your heart is in something, only
good things can follow.
Now, this may not always seem true. But remember that rejections are just
redirections to better things. Setbacks are pauses for thought, opportunities to
alter your plans – for the better. And however big any failure may feel at the
time, there’s
always
a lesson to learn. Only with faith can we recognize the value
of our apparent downfalls. What we truly want often comes wrapped in different
packaging.
Learn to let go and let things flow. As I mentioned at the beginning of this book,
the concepts of action and inaction must be balanced. Your job is to do the best
you can to achieve this.
PART SEVEN
Pain and Purpose
Introduction
Life doesn’t battle you because you’re
weak, it battles you because you’re
strong. It knows that if it gives you
pain, you’ll realize your power.
The great Greek philosopher Aristotle claimed that everything happens for a
reason. You can apply this when you consider that every experience in your life
is designed to shape you and help you grow into the highest and mightiest
version of yourself. This means that even a negative experience can be seen as
an opportunity for growth, rather than a time for suffering. (This doesn’t mean
that we shouldn’t grieve or feel down when we do go through painful life
experiences, and it’s important to give yourself time to heal after such events.) If
you always play the victim when something goes wrong, life will always treat
you like one. Don’t let your circumstances define your future.
Aristotle’s belief may make people think, ‘Yes! I feel that!’, give them hope or
slightly annoy them. I understand why some might find the phrase irritating;
when someone goes through a horrific experience it’s very difficult to see reason
for it. All they feel is pain, and they may feel that by saying this, you’re
demonstrating your ignorance about their situation.
However, the majority of us go through at least one period in our lives that we
find very tough. So we can relate to someone’s low points to some extent, even
if we don’t understand them exactly, because we have felt low ourselves.
Sometimes we just have to believe there’s a good reason behind it that will
reveal itself to us when we’re ready to acknowledge it.
A schoolteacher of mine once told me a story about how his brother missed the
last train from the town he was studying in to go home for the holiday season.
When the brother missed the train, he was devastated and angry with himself.
However, later that evening he learned that train he was meant to have taken had
tragically crashed and nearly all the passengers had died. Upon hearing this, he
thanked God for saving him from what could have been his last breath, and he
said, ‘Everything happens for a reason.’ I’m sure the friends and family of the
deceased passengers wouldn’t have agreed, but from the brother’s perspective
the phrase made perfect sense.
Just because you can’t see the
point behind a challenging time,
doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
If it hadn’t been for my father’s death early in my life, I wouldn’t be sitting here
trying to inspire people; I’d have entirely different stories to tell because my
experiences would’ve been different. This doesn’t make the fact that he’s gone
any better; with my father around, I might have avoided many of my hardships.
But the phrase gives you an empowering perspective so you can move forward
with your life.
The past cannot be changed; only our perception of it can. By creating this shift
in mindset, we start to trust that everything that happens
to
us also happens
for
us. As we begin to change our perception to a positive one, our life improves. If
we don’t change it, we lose our joy and are consigned to low vibrational states.
