Lesson 116: Sometimes People Refuse to Begin...

I think we hold a lot of fear to be open as much as we could be. If we opened our hearts, it opens up possibilities and opportunities. I think we fear the unknown big time and that can close us off.  Sometimes the Universe, Divine, God, Goddess… whatever you believe in will send us changes but we’re resisting to what should happen.

Today’s exercise is to think of a time when the Universe intervened in your life and that in turn changed you and opened you up. This can be anything from a birth, death, illness, accident, loss… whatever you think of, how did it shift you?

I think of the time I moved to Melbourne from Perth. I had just left to start a fresh, new life. A relationship just ended and I needed something for me. I didn’t know anyone so I was trying to live a life of my own. I was a bit out of control when I moved here. I drank a lot, I never wanted to be home and I made it a point to go out all the time. Whenever I was home I felt lonely so I compensated with trying to be as social as much as I could. I think one of my biggest wake up calls was not being able to function at work and having a team mate cover for me. I don’t know what my life was becoming so I went to see a psychologist. The Universe definitely intervened so that I wouldn’t spiral out of control. Going to that psychologist changed my life. His words really got me thinking from a different perspective and got me back on track. Sometimes I wish I still had his contact details because he gave me so much is such a little amount of time, but then I think, maybe he was just there in that moment when I really needed some direction. I became more open at this point when he opened me up to some more self-awareness. For someone that never thought that way, he opened me up to accept my flaws and work through them if I needed. He led me to strive for good things and I still hold onto his advice and apply it to my life. I am so grateful for this.

What have you opened up to with some divine intervention?
