Ever want something so bad you could taste it?  You put great thought into it and believe deep down inside that you know it’s right for you – it is your kismet, destiny … it will bring you the epitome of greatness in your own little world. So, being a good world student you put faith in the Law of Attraction and just know you can attract the right opportunity and backed by the promised powers of self-manifestation it will all be yours. You do whatever you do – pray like crazy – put out nothing but positive intentions every day.  The Universe is bound to hear you and smile beneficently upon you. The truth is, the Universe heard you the very first time you put it all out there, no need to get dramatic … just be specific and clear at the onset.

In a short time, the opportunity comes along. That Universe sure did listen didn’t it? Hey, this REALLY works! You put on your best smile and impress better than you ever have before – you are a shoe in – no doubt. Then it happens. You don’t get what you want. Your bubble has been burst. Even worse you have to accept something less by way of opportunity just to stay afloat. Now you have an attitude and a very begrudging one at that. You stumble along envying those who have achieved your dream. The whole thing really stinks. Maybe it’s karma – maybe not. So you tell yourself the hell with all this metaphysical bunk and get on with life. You weren’t heard – it simply does not work.

Then something very strange happens. Your lesser opportunity opens the door to a new opportunity. You perk up a bit and decide to give it a shot. Once again you put on a good face and try again. This time the opportunity works out. Not only does it work out, it is a better opportunity than the first one. Life is good and you are happy.

So what happened here? You had initially given up and BAM! You actually ended up better than you thought you would or planned. Can you say the Universe didn’t hear you at all? Did it simply put you on an unexpected path so the right opportunity would manifest?

Maybe next time you’ll trust in the Universe a bit more. AND you will finally learn to detach from outcomes and expectations and go with the flow – the cosmic flow. It is part of you and we are all part of the greater whole, infinitely connected. You just need to read between the Divine lines. The answers always come but not often in the way you expect. They come when the Universe knows you are ready.

The Universe is not your b*tch. But it is your caregiver (in every sense of the word).
