Lessons from the Universe: Step Away from Darkness and Into the Light.
After a few weeks of blissful peace, there it was again, haunting my morning from the moment my eyes opened—Anxiety, unease, and distrust in the Universe. This wasn’t the first morning, nor the thousandth, that I woke up with the need to shield up and prepare for battle throughout my day. There it was, creeping up and flooding my mind—the darkness. My every instinct screamed at me to give up in my day already. The thoughts I had worked so hard towards releasing began once again.
“Here you are, look at yourself, you are nearly 32 and still have very little accomplishments, finances, and assets to show for yourself.”
“You can’t do anything that you wish to accomplish because you have no money. You’re broke.”
“You want a job, but you’re not skilled at anything. What would you even apply for? Might as well give into a job you hate. At least it will pay your bills. Who cares if you’re happy at this point. This is your destiny. You will live an ordinary life because you are ordinary.”
Ouch.
Each previous morning that began this way, led to my day’s demise. I took another deep breath and asked myself, “Why not take a different approach? What did I have to lose?” And so I did just that.
Breathe.
I had to remind myself that the Universe gifted me with an incredible book, The Super Attractor, just days before and perhaps this was my opportunity to show grace. The book clearly discussed that through these moments, it’s vital to step into gratitude. Gratitude allows us to move away from these feelings of unease and back into our flow. After all, I had asked for this and the Universe was magically responding.
When we ask to improve parts of our inner selves, what do you believe will happen? The Divine blessed Universe will repeatedly hand us the exact situations that triggers those aspects of ourselves. You see, it took me a long time to understand this concept. I set the intention to become more emotionally stable and for the next few weeks, I would find myself in a chaotic world faced with circumstances that triggered my deepest emotions. Life would unfold against how I imagined it. I was creating friction as I fought the very flow of the Universe through my lack of acceptance of the lesson. I would find myself confused, cursing the heavens, and just that, deeply emotionally unstable.
You see, I was unaware that these situations were the exact blessings that I had asked for. I was too busy victimizing myself and believing that the Universe was against me. So much so, that I was completely unable to see the gifts and the miracles that were being presented to me. I was in my own way—I was my very own MANIFESTATION BLOCK. That ended right then and there, or so I had hoped. Releasing this way of being and releasing my habit of fighting against the flow took consistent effort. I found myself in this very lesson for months to come. In each situation, I was faced with the option to rise up and learn the lesson or collapse to my knees and raise my little white flag. Each time that I chose to face these times head on, they became easier and easier to fiercely conquer. We all have this choice as per our Universal right to free will. What choice will you make?
My self development journey drastically shifted the moment that my awareness expanded into this concept. I found myself filled with more and more ease through each tribulation and further expanded into gratitude—and that changed everything. Gratitude is the key to attracting our deepest desires for ourselves, our journey, and for all. The next time that you are faced with any feelings from the darkness, step into gratitude and bear witness to drastic shift in your own world as you perceive it.
