Allow The Universe to Surprise You With a Better Outcome
Why Trying Harder Makes It Harder
We’ve all been there. We feel stuck and want something better. We feel overwhelmed by life and have seemingly no way out. But, being the spiritual people we are, we break out our toolbox and pull out a manifestation technique. If that doesn’t work, we comb YouTube videos and the internet to find another technique to add to our bag of tricks.
Meanwhile, life continues to bear down on us. Then comes the worry, stress, and sleepless nights. What is the way out?
This scenario happened to me recently. I have an online pet supplement business. During Covid, the company did very well, quadrupling in monthly sales. It turns out that when people are forced to stay home for extended periods, they look for something meaningful in their lives. For some people, this meant getting a pet — a companion they could love and spend time with while being cooped up in their house.
This time was great for my business. It was making money practically by itself. I put it on autopilot and took the opportunity to spend more time on hobbies and my ‘spiritual pursuits.’
But then all hell broke loose.
