When the Universe says "no"

Whispers... nudges...forces

A woman got married to the love of her life. She didn't have any babies for him after years of marriage. The man didn't like this; he wanted kids. So, he ended up having an affair with someone close to his wife. She found out, felt hurt and betrayed but she stayed. She didn't believe there was anything out there for her. Plus, she still loved her husband and wanted to protect her marriage. Unfortunately, the ungrateful man didn't feel the same way for his loyal wife. He rewarded her patience and love with ill-treatment. It got to a point where he took her to Court to get a divorce. The poor woman told the judge she didn't want a divorce and still desired to be married to her husband. The judge looked at her sadly and said: "There's nothing I can do." After the divorce, she went to live with her parents. There, she met a man who loved her. They got married and after some years, she gave birth to three children. One of those children gave birth to the lady who told this story about her grandmother in a video I watched some days ago. Here's something this lady said I've been reflecting on:

“When life whispers; ‘get out’ and you don't listen, it'll call a little louder. At this stage, you experience great discomfort. When you remain adamant, life pushes you out.”

Life was calling out a little louder to this woman when she was maltreated by her husband, when he had an affair with someone who was supposed to be on her side...when she still stayed, life's way of pushing her out was the divorce. Is life cruel or kind? This question is synonymous to the question a child asks when he or she has been disciplined by his or her parents: "Do my parents love me?"

Many times the universe whispers to us, but we don't want to believe, so it gives us a gentle nudge and calls out a little louder. This could be when a job becomes frustrating, our business remains stagnant for very long, we become allergic to a meal we enjoy so much. We call our friends several times, and they don't pick up... they don't explain why afterwards. We send messages but they don't respond; our relationships become abusive or draining. We discover they're dating multiple people, they treat us like we mean nothing to them... The universe might be saying it's time to leave x.

Only if it was easy... the human heart is woven with hope… When we still stay, this is perhaps when we break down, get laid off at work, our business crumbles, the partner still insists on getting a divorce, break up with that lover, get sick from the meal, the friend tells us clearly that they don't want us. This is where we wonder if life is cruel; we feel sad, hurt, betrayed, and confused, but what has kept us until then? It's hope. The belief that things will get better... This is where wisdom is key, and if you're a spiritual person, you seek guidance from God. Because we're talking about years of hard work, the money we have sunk into that business, all we have invested in the relationship, our cherished emotions. The Universe wants us to let all go?…

That's really tough... after weighing, having an honest conversation with yourself, praying for guidance and you figure out there's nothing good coming out of it. It's hard to grasp, but maybe it's time to go... It's time to go higher, to be with the right people, to take the next step, to pursue a more rewarding career path, to try a new business. It looks almost impossible because we are torn between the familiar comfort or rather discomfort and the promising or perhaps not promising unknown. No one has ever let go easily, but it's worth it, they say, and not just anyone, but successful men and women, people who fulfilled their purpose, wise individuals throughout history have shared this insight. That it's a vital step towards becoming our true self, achieving Success( whatever you perceive success as)

Today, I suggest we each set a little date with ourselves. Let's sit in a quiet place and ask ourselves if there's anything we need to let go of. Perhaps the Universe has been whispering, calling a little louder, or has kicked us out already... I hope for brighter days, happy moments, the right people, better opportunities... I believe they're on the way... Do you?

I'll say hello on Tuesday with a Peace treat...

May our hearts be graced to let go, experience healing, be enveloped in love and warmth....

Shalom dear one,

❤️🕊️
