Like many, at times I still experience great resistance when things don’t go to plan, simple things like planning a self-care break & renting a small, compact, zippy (that’s Kiwi for fast) rental car only to be given a flash 7 seater, 4wd, gas guzzling, people mover, the equivalent size of a small bus, doesn’t always sit the best with me & my eco-friendly ways.
I know ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ & all that. Given my choice was limited to taking the people mover or potentially waiting another couple of hours for the car I requested, I ended up taking it (although not overly happy about it).
Funny thing is, it did end up being a blessing in disguise (after I’d navigated myself to the closest beach to restore my serenity again 😉). I discovered as Gabby Bernstein ‘the Universe has your back’ always & in this instance it was true.
This mundane example in everyday life really hit home how protected we are. You see turns out I had not adequately researched the terrain I needed to navigate on my little self-care adventure, lots of hills, flooded creeks etc. Conditions not best suited to a zippy little rental car. If I’d insisted on my original choice, I’d had been cursing the time spent driving, have missed out on sharing Crystal Castle & crossing paths with Russell Brand.
So today I acknowledge the fact even though I was 100% sure I knew what I wanted, sometimes the universe knows better & will conspire for your highest good. And really my only responsibility is to control MY controllables – ME & my state. Know how to recalibrate myself & find my peace & serenity, when things don’t quite go to plan. And simply trust I’m always being looked after.
