You know those moments when you tell yourself, I just gotta trust the universe.

A job will appear, along with a dream partner and loads of money.

Well, trusting the universe requires patience.

Lindsey Lewis

But are you trying to cultivate patience, and still finding that you’re not realizing any results?

Recognize the universe is in you.

We have to let go of what is preventing us from stepping up.

But actually, trusting the universe isn’t just about hoping to be saved.

Too often we hang onto ways we can continue to hide, ways we can avoid stepping up.

I hung on for dear life to beliefs about my inability to earn good money.

That is, until the day I explored all of those beliefs as fears rather than truths.

And they did for me.

I still have my moments where I dip-dive into doubt about the future.

The universe will serve you, not (necessarily) hey you.

Sometimes I fantasize about magically receiving a check for a million dollars.

Sure, it would reallypleaseme to get a bunch of free money.

It would reallypleaseme to think that I never had to worry about money ever again.

But it wouldntserveme.What serves me is to know that I can do things on my own.

I can get out of this darn tower myself, thank you very much.

Sometimes, NOT getting what you want is a gift.

Not getting what we want can be the greatest gift.

This is especially true if what we thought we wanted was the easy way out.

And often, to be honest, they did.

But this dynamic was unproductive.

Even without stepping up to the plate, I still found myself stressed, anxious and uncertain.

And so life said:Great!

Ive been waiting for you to say that!

Now you get to learn how to take care of yourself by facing these challenging people.

And from that point forward, I learned to trust that everything will always be OK.

Everything comes back to the fierce power of love.

To sum it all up:The best way to trust the universeis to learn to trust yourself.

And then let go ofthatspecific thought, belief, assumption or whatever it is.

Know that the universe is loving you byservingyou, even if that doesntpleaseyou.

Sometimes, not getting what we want is even better.

It all comes back to love in the fiercest way possible.
