General
When people face a bad situation, they always react in similar ways. They complain and grumble, saying, “The universe doesn’t love me, God doesn’t love me, everything happens to me, everything is going wrong…” Not everything that happens to people is bad. Let’s remember our proverb: “There is good in every evil.” When something bad happens to us, let’s not immediately beat ourselves up. Let’s wait a little while before forming an opinion about the event—let’s not rush to say, “This was bad” or “This didn’t turn out well.” For example, someone who has broken up with a partner might see their situation as bad. But instead of thinking negatively, that person should consider that the universe has a better plan in store for them.
You Have to Know How to Wait
There’s no need to hinder the universe’s plan by thinking negatively. If a relationship isn’t working out, if the parties aren’t happy, or if the relationship isn’t going to end the way you’d like, why waste your time? The end of a relationship might give you the chance to meet someone better—or it might open up opportunities you never even imagined. Instead of getting upset about what’s happened, people should take advantage of these opportunities. When faced with an event considered bad, you should wait for the good opportunities that will follow and give it a chance. You never know how long you’ll have to wait, but you must give life time to work its magic. Anyone who reflects on the universe’s creative power can easily see that the universe has a plan for humanity. For these plans to take shape and come to fruition, people must give them a chance, wait, and accept them.
When faced with negative events, there’s no need to react with thoughts like “My life is over” or “I can’t handle this.” A year or two after the fact, one may come to see that what they went through was ultimately for the best. Events we perceive as bad are sometimes meant to help us grow and take a leap forward. People can come to understand this as time goes by. However, it’s important to act without prejudice in the moment and not take things personally right away. When a major change occurs, you shouldn’t make a decision immediately. It’s better to wait a little while and exercise patience before making a decision. In 90 percent of cases, after waiting, people come to see that the situation they initially perceived as bad was actually for their own good. The key is to correctly interpret the messages the universe is sending.
The Universe Is Always Sending Messages
The obstacles the universe puts in our path are there to help us move forward. High jumpers don’t jump from a standing position. To jump, they step back, run, and build up speed, then leap as high as they can. In fact, taking a step back isn’t a bad thing—it creates the momentum needed to propel us forward. This shows that, with the right perspective, what seems bad is actually good.
Notice the messages life sends you throughout the day; pay attention to the tests the universe sends your way. These aren’t always bad—just keep your heart pure, be honest, and be good. The universe will be honest with you, too.
