Daily Gratitude: Have you ever asked for a “sign” about something? Then what happens? You look around and everything you see turns into a potential sign and you spend a lot of time wondering “if that was it”. This quote is so spot on. We have to slow down if we want to get the messages the universe has for us. I know that personally the universe got tired of sending me so many signs that I never got. Why didn’t I get them? I was way too busy to pay attention. What a shame. But you know what? The universe forced me to slow down so that I had no choice but to listen. And believe me when I say that you never want the universe to put a barreling train in front of you as you stand there on the tracks oblivious to its arrival. Why not? Because you won’t win. The universe always wins. And that’s a good thing because it is much much smarter than you are. I don’t know why it takes so long for us to recognize this fact. If we could just force ourselves to look around and pay attention to what’s going on around us, we’d be so much better off. So take some time to figure out how you can slow down and look and listen. Then do it.
