I think the Universe speaks to us in ways we may not realize. Or simply may not notice because we are wrapped in layers of worry, guilt, fear and stress.
If we go to the Chinese restaurant and our fortune cookie is empty* our minds leap to the negative that we have no fortune or luck. The flip side is that our future is undetermined and open for our interpretation.
It's more fun to bemoan our bad luck so that is what we do. It's even funny and something we pout about it and tell every new person we see. It's acceptable to us to speak of our negatives as though they are good.
It often takes a Universal slap upside the head to make us see something different.
Today I was driving to work and quickly descending into a pit of worry and stress about the day and what tomorrow would bring. I let it take over my thoughts and create a day for me that I hadn't started out with.
I was stopped behind a plumbing truck and they had a few quotes on the truck including this gem:
Relax. We'll take care of it.
It made me stop mid-freakout and smile. That's exactly what I needed to to do, relax and let the Universe resolve these issues for me.
So I took the advice and said thank you and continued on my way. Is it coincidence that every light was green after that? That I had a good parking spot? Or the last seat in my preferred section on the train was free? Maybe. But I choose to believe that the Universe was taking care of me because I was aware of its message.
*This happened to me yesterday and I did exactly what I wrote about.
