If there’s one thing I’m learning, it’s that when the Universe talks to you…listen! Let me explain what I mean by that…
Deep down I know I need to be single right now. I went from a 14 year union to a 14 month fwb situation- the same fwb I had when I wrote “Predator.” We kept getting back together, largely in part because I couldn’t be alone. When I finally did end it for good, there were a string of men who either pursued me, or me them. Nothing ever came to fruition though- like never even went on a date! It’s been seven months now. In typical human fashion, I asked “What’s wrong with me?” repeatedly to myself. It took a while to realize that I’m single because that’s exactly where/what I’m supposed to be right now. All those flawed attempts at dating were the Universe’s way of telling me just that!
Here’s another example:
In order to better myself, I decided to quit drinking. Not just cut back, but stop altogether. So I decided to purchase a book on Amazon called A Happier Hour, by Rebecca Weller. In this book she talks about being a wellness coach, all the while knowing her penchant for imbibing was severely affecting her life in a negative way.
I was experiencing a major high after my last article. But that high faded when I couldn’t figure out what it is I wanted to do with my life. I didn’t even know such a thing as a wellness coach existed, let alone it being a viable job opportunity. I had an epiphany that this is what I’m supposed to be doing! I am currently looking into becoming a health and wellness coach and I couldn’t be more excited!!!
To me, this was the Universe’s way of telling me I’m on the right course. My decision to get serious about my sobriety led me to that book. That book led me to my career path! Had I been wrapped up in some guy, it never would’ve occurred to me to make the changes necessary to get to this place of self-discovery.
From here on out, I’m going to be a lot more receptive to the clues the Universe is directing my way, and I’ll continue to share them with you. Take a minute now, and ask yourself “What is the Universe trying to tell you?” My guess is, probably way more than you realize:)
