A little story of listening to your guidance system. And trusting it.
There was this one time when a lot of changes were going on at my workplace. My approval of myself was being challenged on a daily basis, especially in the area of my career and prosperity. The more I was willing to approve of myself, the more I was being challenged on a daily basis.
This took a toll over me and I succumbed to very high fever. In those 2 days, I was constantly asking myself what I was angry about. I believed that when you are willing, the answers appear.
The moment I was feeling a tad better, I decided to go to the beach one morning; very early in the day. It’s a place I trust to give me the answers.
I thought I’d go there and sip on some nice healthy tomato soup staring at the waves and asking my question (food and nature are generally my go-to buddies at times like these). I picked the car keys and headed out. Just when the house door shut, I realized that I’d forgotten to take any money with me. I didn’t want to ring the bell as everyone was sleeping.
And somewhere, a voice kept telling me, “Don’t worry and just head out. You’ll have your soup and drink it too.” How? (Well, that I never asked but just believed the voice) There wasn’t really any other option as well so I just went with it. So I got in the car, drove and reached the beach.
As I was about to step out of the car, I saw some change that was there on the dashboard. It was about 25 rupees (a few coins and a 10 rupee note under some toll receipts). I thought that I’d need around 40. Again, as I was about to step out, the same voice said to look in the glove box. I thought to myself that there’s never any money there but decided to look nonetheless; it was like some force was urging me to. So I opened it, found a bag and heard some coins jingle in it. I opened the bag and found six rupees. I again thought to myself that this wasn’t enough and was keeping the bag back but the voice urged me to look again, properly this time. So I opened the bag entirely and guess what, I found a crumpled 10 rupee note.
I was in utter shock! Forty-one rupees. One more than what I needed. From the most unexpected places in the car. Also, it’s a thing to note that this was the car which I generally didn’t drive.
It was a clear gesture by the universe compelling me to re-instate my belief that I’ll always have what I want and when I want. I just have to want it enough and trust that I’ll have it. I only need to keep my ears and eyes open.
What I thought was a fact was actually not real at all. Perceptions are indeed a funny thing.
I got my first answer there. These 41 rupees made feel so abundant. My batteries were charged after this whole ordeal and I felt whole and healthy, and back again with more faith and more trust than ever before. My lesson – listen to your inner voice, don’t doubt it. Just ask what you want and the universe shall conspire for you to receive it. It’s really not my business to ask how. Only good lies ahead, if we are willing to look at it that way.
