We’ve all been there before: we prepare so well in advance for something but later find none going according to plans. Plans have a way of falling down in mid-flight or of not taking off as we desire. When you pour your all in a plan and it doesn’t happen, nothing can be as frustrating, but pause for a moment and take heart. Believe it or not, the universe knows what you need far more than you do. As old as it is, you can trust the universe to give you what you need at the right time and the right place. As much as we’d like to take control into our hands, the universe doesn’t work that way. It sees what we don’t—it sees the future, it sees the consequences of our actions, it sees our hearts and our minds. When we let go and let the universe take the reins in her hands, we are often led to wondrous discoveries about ourselves and about the world. Things that we had no way of knowing was even possible for us will materialize before us. What we think are twisted fate are actually beautiful in the grand scheme of things. When we consider ourselves instead of the domino of effect our actions, thoughts, and speech will cause and when we try to manipulate the events happening to us, we are stopping the universe from doing what it can do best for all of mankind—yes, not just one person but all of us because everything is interconnected no matter how small and seemingly inconsequential. The next time plans do not happen, take a step back and relax. Trust that something bigger than you will ever be is at play. Let it be. There is no sense fighting what you cannot win, so let go of the reins, pray, and believe that the universe has your best interest. Watch what it will hand to you and always be grateful that you do not have to continuously stir your life to make something happen. Read the full article
