There are times we find ourselves wanting certain things to happen, so we try time after time to get the results we want to the point of almost forcing them to happen. We have the illusion in our heads that we know how things should be and we keep trying to make them be that. When things don't go as planned we keep resisting and blame others, including God for it. We don't understand why these things are happening and why they are not going as we thought they should. We resist the flow and forget to see the lesson.
It takes a lot of patience and faith to let go and let the lessons and opportunities reveal themselves, since they don't show up right away.
When we release the need to control everything, we live in peace, we live in trust. That is not to say that we don't have free will to do as we please, but when we make a soul commitment to learn our life lessons, everything is arranged with that purpose in mind, including the obstacles in the way. It could be months or years later when we learn why it wasn't supposed to go a certain way or why certain things didn't happen. We notice and give thanks for those obstacles that "forced" us to go a different way. Things happen for a reason.
It's like an internal GPS, you input the address and no matter what route you take or what mode of transportation you use, it'll always point to that destination. Some routes are easier than others as some experiences are. In the end we need to trust that we are guided in the right direction and perhaps that detour on the road was there to help us gain better knowledge of the path ahead.

Earth Shaking Meditation
Things shift rapidly when we are aligned.
In order to experience what is truly there for us, we must release attachments and flow with the change.
I've been doing internal work on my beliefs and my role in this earth/time. I've been avoiding fully embracing my spirituality for one reason or another. Fear of being rejected, fear of not knowing enough, of making mistakes, and so on. I also found it difficult to manage the mainstream world combined with the spiritual world. I felt like I had to chose. In the past I have chosen following the mainstream but now it was different.
I chose spirituality.
I made the decision to connect with my spirituality fully. I decided to let go of the mainstream requirements and just follow my spiritual path.
Things began changing rapidly.
Things that were not possible before, became doable. Places where there were obstacles before, opportunities came to the surface. The strangest thing was that the mainstream world was opening up for me.
What was the Universe trying to tell me?
Was it that I needed to make a conscious decision to follow my spiritual path and release expectations as to how that was going to work?
The truth is I probably wouldn't have made the decision to fully embrace my spirituality have I fought against the obstacles to force an outcome; have I succumbed to the mainstream without achieving balance.
I can see now that it is possible for me to live in both worlds, I just had to give it equal value and release expectations, release control.
Perhaps this change came after an interesting event that happened yesterday. I was meditating mid afternoon in regards to my decision and its implications. I visualized a red cord coming through my body and into the core of the earth, attaching itself and connecting with the earth's force and vibration.
Not long after I connected the cord the earth started shaking! A 5.9 earthquake developed! I opened my energy up to receive the change and transformation and allowed myself to be in this space without fear (in previous earthquakes I've been the first one to run out the door!). What perfect timing!
Did the movement of the earth shake my limiting beliefs and stagnant energy away? I wish to believe so. Perhaps we all need to be shaken once in a while to remember to trust and be in peace in the midst of change. We need to be reminded that change is good and that we are loved and cared for.
I hope you find what you need to make things work for you too.
You are in my thoughts and blessings.
Thanks for sharing your journey with me.
With much love, appreciation and respect,
Nancy
