The Universe is Your Expert Event Planner
Have you ever worked yourself up, or even panicked, wondering if the money, better job, new relationship, improved health, etc. will ever come?
Let me ask you a question before we start. What would be more satisfying to you?
- Winning 5 million dollars in the lotto
- Earning 5 million dollars yourself
Most people would just jump to option number one. Of course I want to win the lotto because I get it instantly! Duh.
Is Winning the Lottery Truly Fulfilling?
Winning a large sum of money means that you would have all your basic needs met, but would you be happy? Would you be fulfilled? Let’s take Donna Mikkin for example,
Donna Mikkin won $34.5 million in the New York State Lottery in 2007. She said the big win ruined her life and led to “emotional bankruptcy.” “Most of us think that winning the lottery is the ultimate fulfillment. But I found that wasn’t the case,”
It’s the expectation that all your problems will be solved and that joy accompanies that check. It doesn’t.
But this is merely an example of our faulty reasoning. We think the shortest path from ‘A’ to ‘B’ will be the best way when in fact it’s not. It is so much more satisfying for you to take the scenic route, than it is to get there instantly.
Taking the Scenic Route in Life
The scenic route provides the fun, the magic, the synchronicities, the lessons and so much more. Think of the universe as your expert event planner. They’ve thrown a party like this a million times before and know all the right people to call to make it a huge success. You don’t need to bother yourself with any of the details. You don’t need to stress or doubt or be afraid; the universe will find all the details that will give you the most pleasure.
Yes, I am talking about the law of attraction
Option number 1- winning the lotto is the straight line. It’s the most efficient route and will get you there in a hurry. But it won’t provide you with the same joy as the scenic route. It’s like a multi-millionaire, business tycoon that has a beautiful family, a boat, fast car, respect of others and yet can’t enjoy any of it. That’s not success. And most people would agree that there is no point in having anything if you can’t enjoy it! Ever see someone with plastic covering on top of their fancy couch? You aren’t even allowed to sit on it. What is the point of having a couch? Likewise, what is the point in having all the money or fancy car if you aren’t able to enjoy it?
So who controls the scenic route? My understanding of this is it’s the interaction between you and the universe. If you line up with the universe then you can attract that good stuff real quick. But if you only sometimes line up with it or hardly ever line up with it then it may take a long time, if ever.
How do you line up with the universe?
The way we line up with the universe is simply by feeling good. Life will happen. But if you keep bringing yourself back to a better feeling thought and then another and another, you will end up feeling joy, appreciation, empowerment and all those synchronicities will show up for you and reinforce the amazing and powerful being that you are. Everything will show up for you in the perfect time. It’s all happening for you.
So, let the universe be your expert event planner and let it take care of ALL the details. All you have to do is get into your party dress (or suit) and show up expecting to have a wonderful time.
