LAW OF ATTRACTION

"When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it." - Rumi

Back in NYC my mind used to feel like this plate - vibrant, creative, and a little all over the place... actually a lot all over the place, but somehow I functioned bc I kept telling myself, "The dream is free, the hustle is sold separately." Somedays I'd tackle the world effortlessly and feel incredibly proud for being in the right place at the right time, and some days it tackled me.

I remember there were multiple times when I'd try to buy a plane ticket and it wouldn't go through... so I'd re-enter the information multiple times until it worked... and as soon as I had landed, I'd figure out why I shouldn't have left NYC. I'm sure you can think of something like this happening to you too, right?

It's the Law of Attraction. The universe knows exactly what we need, and if you need something, a door will open for you. If it doesn't, then keep the door closed--- you'll save yourself a lot of time and energy bc even if you manage to force open that locked door (it may be satisfying at first), you'll find out why it was shut down the road.

But don't get me wrong, I'm NOT saying that you should just sit there and wait for an opportunity to fall into your lap wrapped in a bow...go out into the world and create opportunities, but don't use excessive force to make something happen.

___

Give it your BEST shot (like, a really good one) and if it doesn't work out, let it go or take a different route that feels better. And hey, if some things come easily to you and you're not into it--- it's ok to say no thank you to the universe 😉
