A few months ago, I was overwhelmed with
frustration, and under-whelmed with ideas.
I had been working hard to find a new way to add some spice and
excitement to my life, but every thing I tried seemed to be fraught
with obstacles. Nothing
seemed easy or right. |
This happens to me more often than I want to
admit. When the Universe,
God, Spirit, just keeps sending hurdle after hurdle and it feels like I
can’t get anywhere, no matter how hard I try.
At times like this, I just want to say “I get it. Alright
already, would you just show me the door?!”
My Mom says from her perspective, it is like
watching me hit my head against a brick wall, over and over again. And from what she sees, if I just stopped, pulled back
and took a look around, I would see my way around.
And she’s right. If
I just stop, the answer to moving forward reveals itself and is easier
and a whole lot more fun.
So why do we continually hit our head against the
brick wall?
We ignore our intuition.
That internal guidance system that helps us steer our lives.
Intuition is God’s (The Universe, Spirit, insert
your term here) way of steering us toward our goal, and moving us out
of harms way. It is a way
of getting our attention. And
when we ignore intuition for logic, or the image we have already set
our mind on, we steer ourselves away from the goal.
We often get so caught up in our vision, that instead of
listening we move ahead.
If we won’t listen to intuition, how will the
Universe get our attention? If
you were the Universe, what would you do?
I bet you would start coming up with creative ways to stop
yourself.
Obstacles are just that…the bigger, more
creative ways The Universe uses to get our attention.
And the less we listen, the bigger the obstacles get.
So…the next time you seem to be getting no where
with your plan, STOP. Stop
and listen. The Universe
just may be trying to tell you something.
And I bet, if you take a look around, you will find an easier
answer than you ever dreamed.
