Sometimes when life tries to kick us in the ass and get us moving in the right direction, we ignore it. Instead of heeding that call, we put our blinders on and cover our ears hoping to shut it out.

But the Universe is a stubborn leader and it will continue to nudge us in the right direction until we get the message.

Sometimes the Universe will shout so loudly to get your attention that it seems the entire world stops to listen. Everybody but you, that is.

Here’s the thing -

Your resistance is futile.

It’s futile because the Universe will keep bashing you over the head until you wake up. And because you have a purpose on this planet. When you allow the Universe to guide you to that purpose and along that path, your life will begin to flow with ease.

Now, that’s not to say there won’t be some obstacles now and then – there will be. Sometimes those obstacles will be other people – the naysayers – and sometimes those obstacles will truly be beyond your control.

Listen closely because this important -

Most of the time, regardless of what you may think, YOU are the obstacle.

Your ingrained thoughts and beliefs will be limiting exactly what you can do. At times, you may not even realize it. These beliefs might be so natural feeling to you that you dismiss them as unimportant or “just the way things are.”

Well, you know what?

That’s bullshit.

The truth is – nothing is “just the way things are” – you have the power to change them. You must have absolute faith to change them. A faith so strong, the Universe has no other option but to deliver it to you. An unwavering faith so absolute that you can move mountains.

How do you do that?

Ignore those little voices in your head that say it’s impossible. The ones that say you can’t, that try to interfere with your faith. Just ignore them. Tell them to shut up and go the hell away.

Let me tell you something else -

Don’t put a price tag on it. Don’t expect it to come to you a certain way. The problem is that we get so attached to the how we forget to listen to the quiet whispers that guide us in the right direction.

We might want something so badly, we start putting all kinds of expectations (also known as limitations) on it. We refuse to acknowledge a certain path because it’s too plain, too simple or too ordinary. We think there is NO WAY we can survive living a cozy farmhouse on the edge of town. We think we have to have the biggest, grandest, newest house money can buy.

Because sometimes what we want isn’t really the thing we think we want. What we really want is the end result. What we really want is the security, the familiarity, the idea of the thing. What we forget is that everything starts with a dream. And it’s the dream we are after.

Until next time . . . keep blazin’!

Wishing you success, love + fire in your belly
