A couple of years ago I would have been all upset. I would have let it ruin my day. I would have let it take up an abundance of head space. I would have tried to pick apart the details of why it happened. However, my spiritual awakening process has been life changing for me. It wasn’t just the spiritual changes that were impressive, it was more happiness, more peace, more calm and more trust in the universe.
The email was too ridiculous for words. I mean, I had words but instead I shook my head and laughed. I am fairly confident that I said something like “fuck you people” and then laughed. Sometimes, the universe will give you a nudge…..a sweet little push. Then, sometimes the universe will give you a large push off the cliff. This was a clear push. “Off you go, cupcake” is what I expect that the universe said.
Something I needed to learn was that people show you who they are, and I need to trust that. I can’t make up a fairytale in my head and trust the fairytale over the behavior that is being repeatedly demonstrated. Now, this isn’t to say that we all can’t have a bad day here and there, but when someone shows you over and over again what they are made of, you should trust them.
This was a blatant example and it was also so ridiculous that I had to see it as a nudge from the universe. It was almost like the universe was yelling “can you hear me NOW”. You see, my truth is that the universe will whisper something to you and if you don’t listen it will get louder and louder until you can hear it. This was absolutely a scream from the rooftop kind of volume. So, “yes, universe, I can hear you” I said back. I then calmly and quietly made a calculated decision to trust the universe and see the situation for what it was. I never got upset. I never raised my voice. I never even confronted the situation. I simply told the universe that I hear the message loud and clear and would make immediate changes. I trusted that the universe would take care of the rest of the situation. You see, I believe in karma and in law of attraction. You can’t throw toxic energy out and expect to get back rainbows and butterflies. Sometimes, karma happens quickly and sometimes it takes years, but I knew that whatever balancing act the universe had in mind would be far better than what I expected. And, I am here to tell you that the universe absolutely dished out karma. I would be lying if I told you that I didn’t smile as I slowly and calmly walked down my calculated path away from the fire that the universe just started.
