The universe gives us signs and hints all the time.  Signs about the path we should take, instinct about what’s coming, messages confirming our thoughts, coincidences that answer our inner thoughts.  Naturally it’s up to us if we follow them, to understand them.  I’ve never hidden that I struggle with follow through.  It goes to what we talked about the other day—sometimes it’s easier to see the answers for others than it is to believe you can make the same changes yourself.  I understand things conceptually but some integrate into action far easier than others for me—and I still have a lot of fear of loss.  If I start down a negative path, then I only notice negative things. I recently noticed that many of the negative thoughts I was having started coming true in rapid succession—I’m talking within minutes of thinking it.  At first it felt hopeless, an affirmation of how bad things could be but then it hit me: I’m still manifesting—and it’s happening REALLY fast.

Even if it felt negative in the moment (and it did), I realized that there was still power behind this.  If the things I was thinking were coming true, then something I was doing was working.  Now it becomes a matter of shifting the mindset toward the things I want versus the things I DON’T want.  It’s applying the same energy to a different thought process—if the energy works, then apply it to something else.  I believe with all of my heart that we are creators.  I know it’s easy to get stuck in what we think we know, what we think we have to do—I’m guilty of it every day.  I’ll wake up thinking of different ways to avoid what I have to do but then I end up doing exactly what I “have” to do.  Repeating patterns out of fear, while understandable, is still showing fear.  It’s showing the universe your level of expectation is what you’ve always done.  That leaves no room for the new to manifest.   

This is something I’ve said before, but I have immense gratitude to the universe that the signs keep coming.  I said above that I don’t always believe things are possible for me.  That’s what the universe hears.  It feels the vibration of someone who expects the negative and only hopes for the best.  Hopes, not feels or integrates or operates from their best.  I can’t tell you how many coincidences and opportunities I’ve passed because I either got too scared or didn’t realize they were for me.  How many times I’ve said I would go for it and didn’t, even how many times I said I would call someone and didn’t.  I’m not talking about life getting in the way and forgetting, I’m talking about fearing the outcome.  In order to feel different, in order to achieve something different you need to do something different.  Whether it’s changing a belief and truly feeling it, or finding that confidence and owning it, it all comes down to what you emit to the world.        

We talk about alignment, vibration, and action here a lot—specifically aligning action with vibration.  We can’t say we want something and not take the action to get it.  The universe can give us all the materials but we still have to figure out how to put it together.  Sometimes we have to learn the language the directions are in, but the good news is, that language is always a vibration.  When we allow things to come together how they are supposed to instead of forcing it, things will come together and they will make sense..  And when we follow that path then it all flows and we see the answers—magic happens because we understand what it’s meant to be instead of what we think.  So doing things differently is what gets you something different, not wishing it, but actively changing it.  You don’t need to ask—if you’re ready, simply take the leap.  At the very least, pay attention to the signs.
