Sit back and RELAX....your life is waiting

“Sometimes we don’t always get what we want…but we get what we NEED”. 

These words rang true this past weekend when I heard them.  I find such truth in this statement.  I just had to write my thoughts down.

We often spend so much time focused on what we want and completely stress out when whatever that happens to be doesn’t come to fruition…but why?  Because we rarely can just relax and live in a moment--many of us are not programmed that way.  I'll admit it: I am not programmed that way.  Often times if we look back we realize that our lives may just in fact be providing us what we need-but we may be oblivious to this at the time.  Sometimes our struggles are really to help us get to the other side of the hurdle. Perhaps the universe is gently nudging us toward the path where we are meant to be.  When we think we really want a different path—the universe puts up obstacles and road blocks—causing us stress because we fight against it out of want for something else.  But how many times do we look back and see that things all had a way of working out for the best? Think about it.

Now BELIEVE me—there are plenty of things I want such as Jennifer Aniston’s body, to hold a winning lottery ticket, an extra couple hours of sleep, and while I'm dreaming...a MAID! But I don’t need any of those things (except the maid) because I when I look at my life right now—I really do have all I need for this point in time.  It may not be ideal or easy, but it is enough and for that I am thankful. 

So why am I writing about this you ask me? A couple reasons…one reason is for me and one for all of you. 

I feel like lately there are so many signs coming my way where I know that I am being nudged.  I have decided to try to go with the flow a little more and trust that my path is ahead of me.  I am embracing the relationships that I am forming, the conversations I am having, and am open to the possibilities that I am experiencing.  I am trying not to worry so much about the logistics of it all—but enjoying the moment and possibility that may be ahead.  Truly I am –I am allowing myself to be excited about my potential path, but also remaining grounded and trusting things will work out as they are supposed to.  That’s me. 

Now let’s talk about you…. so often I try to get the point across to you (yes I may in fact be talking to YOU) to sit back and wait and let your life just have the ability to unfold naturally—things happen for a reason and as they are supposed to—but very rarely does someone take this advice. Instead they keep pushing for something that they don’t realize they don’t really need.  Sometimes we think we are so alone—we try to grasp so hard and hold onto whatever we can.  We think that we will always be alone if we lose that grasp. Why can’t you meet that special someone that is going to take your breath away? Why can you have the job that you always wanted that is going to be the key to financial freedom?  Why? Because you don’t need that yet in your life—and you have to trust it.  More importantly you have to trust yourself and what is around the corner.  Maybe something bigger and better is yet to come—or maybe you are exactly where you need to be. Trust it. Trust yourself.

Life is our teacher and there are many lessons to be learned—some of us sail right on through while some of us hit bumps in the road.  I think those bumps just make our lives richer and our character more robust and versatile.  As long as we can see the positive in all we do, for the moment we are in—we are better for it.  Just be happy. Just be you. Sit back and just live in YOUR moment.

And if you happen to know a maid—send them my way…
