We all encounter obstacles in our life. It's how we meet them that make all the difference in the world.
When things aren't going our way and obstacles are showing up, it starts a story in our heads. ‘The universe is working against me’, or ‘I must be doing it wrong. What's wrong with me?’ ‘I must be broken’. It gets to be very stressful very fast and what we're doing is actually over-potentializing the problem, which is basically giving it far too much energy and attention. When you do that, you're actually using the law of increase in reverse. So you’re increasing what you don't want, making it louder, making it bigger, pushing yourself further into the story and the drama of it.
Instead, pause, take a deep breath, and say to yourself, “this must be exactly what I needed now”.
Why is that?
It's because the universe is actually working in your favor to get you what you want. As soon as you decided what you wanted, things start to move in that direction. So whatever is showing up must be exactly what you needed.
Maybe it's something that needs to be healed in order for you to take your next step, maybe it's something that needs to be released that you can't take along on the journey to where you're going. Maybe it's something that you need to learn, even if you already think that you know it.
So whatever it is, the more you resist it, the deeper it will dig into your life, and the larger it will grow.
Pause, take a breath and say to yourself, "This must be exactly what I needed." Then you can shift into your detective mode and start to examine the opportunity and what is there for you to take your next step.
