Let the Universe Play Its Part Too...

A lot of us forget to realize that our lives are a balance of action and trust…

Of execution and then patience…

Of making a decision, and then letting the universe take the next step…

We’ve built so much doubt around both ourselves and the universe that we think we, the ego, need to take care of 100% of the operations.

Think of hustle culture, where if you’re not grinding and working, you’re failing and falling behind.

Or even just the simple example of when you’re anxious about something—a relationship, a job, an exciting opportunity—you try to take control of every single variable.

I got caught in a cycle of this a couple weeks ago.

I had some legal matters going on with a lot of shadiness and coercion involved, and it required me to do a lot of work to “figure it out”.

And I figured it out. But it got to a point where I’d done everything I could, but I was still endlessly working towards it…

I even took a day off from work to focus on it.

And it started to exhaust me.

Eventually, I realized that I’d done everything I could do in my power, and now, it was time to let the universe do its part.

And I relaxed. I surrendered. I let go.

That’s what leads us to try and control reality: anxiety.

We think if we don’t do it, it won’t happen.

But we forget that we’re co-creators with the universe. We’re co-operating together.

We create in tandem.

You take a step. The universe matches you. Repeat.

Stop thinking you have to do it all yourself, because it interferes with the quality of the actions you take.

Give space for the universe to play its part.

It’ll be lighter and more fruitful for both of you.
