The Universe knows exactly what you need in order to grow into the next experience you want to create. Susan Jeffers writes in End the Struggle and Dance With Life, "When we are spiritually evolving, we are in a better place to handle whatever life hands us." She adds, "We all want quick and easy, but when it comes to becoming a spiritual being, speed doesn't work."

 

I've had many experiences in my life that felt like failures. At the time it was hard to imagine I was anywhere near to achieving the goals I so desperately wanted. Yet, when I look back at those situations I can see that the Universe had arranged those detours to help me grow into my vision.

 

While it may have appeared to me that nothing was happening, the changes that were taking place in my emotions, thoughts and spiritual growth were profound. It's as if Divine Intelligence knew exactly what I needed to overcome the limiting beliefs I held about myself and the world. God was preparing me for the next steps in my life.

 

You may think your goal is to get that promotion, to find your life partner or to write a best-selling book. However, God uses your desires to help you learn about love, forgiveness, kindness, community, wisdom and patience along the way. Trust and faith are the qualities to focus on while the forces of Universal wisdom do their work.

 

Ask yourself, "What would be the most perfect outcome to this situation" or more simply, "What do I want?"

 

Write a paragraph or so about what you want. Don't try to figure out how you're going to get it. That's for your intuition to work out.

 

Close your eyes. Briefly bring to mind the situation that's causing your frustration.

 

Now bring to mind the outcome that you want. Spend a few moments visualizing this perfect outcome. What feeling would you be experiencing if you got what you want? As you visualize this image, feel those emotions. Add some words to your imagery. Use whatever works for you. "This is great." "I feel terrific!" Imagine your friends and family celebrating with you. Do whatever you can to make this image real and vivid.

 

Ask your intuition, "Is there anything I could do right now that would make this happen?" Await a response. Open your eyes when you feel ready. Jot down any ideas, thoughts and impressions you may have had.

 

Don't take action simply on what you think makes sense. Act only on impulses that feel like fun, make you excited, or seem enjoyable to you. Your intuition will begin to bring together the circumstances and synchronicities to create your goal.
