The Universe is supporting you
Don’t worry about how it’s going to
happen, otherwise you’ll begin to create
limitations. Just be certain about what
you want and the entire Universe will
rearrange itself for you. Whatever the
path you might be on right now, it will
support you. It will provide you with the
signs to get you to where you want to be.
The 13th-century poet Rumi wrote: ‘The Universe is not outside you. Look
inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.’ Rumi may also
have agreed that the only reason the Universe might not be available to you is
if you’re not attuned to it. The Universe already exists within you, but it’s not
perceivable to you if you’re not vibrating high enough. However, you can
bring it to light through your words, actions, emotions and beliefs.
The Universe helps us to create, or rather, to bring possibilities into our
reality. It gives you signs to follow and sends you ideas to act on. It’s up to
you to respond.
You might decide your goal is to work for yourself at something you enjoy.
Then one day you randomly think of a specific idea, like selling your food
recipes online. If you don’t think much of it, you probably won’t act on it;

you’ll probably just dismiss it as a passing thought.
In the following weeks, you might start coming across bloggers sharing their
own recipes. This seems coincidental, so you continue to ignore the signs and
instead invest your efforts elsewhere. But by ignoring the signs, you could be
missing out on everything you want. Sometimes, we ignore the signs because
we think we’re supposed to achieve our goals in a particular way.
All I really wanted to do was utilize my creative skills to change the world in
a positive way – and, of course, live comfortably. I used to think that the only
avenue for this was clothing. Once I let go of the idea of 
how
it was going to
happen, I found myself trying out other ideas. Seemingly casual thoughts led
me to where I am now. I trust where they’ll take me next, knowing they’ll
bring me closer to where I want to be.
These days, when terms like the Law of Attraction are thrown around, people
assume that your dreams will manifest without any effort on your part. But
you must take action on the thoughts and ideas that crop up in your mind; the
inspiration that the Universe sends you. They’re nudges from the Universe
saying, ‘Go this way! Try this!’
Intention without action is just a wish. A goal only comes to life when you
decide to pursue it. The Universe is always supporting you, but you must be
willing to do your part in the manifestation process.
