Universal Call

The universe it constantly providing us with gifts, today mine came in the form of an insight. The appearance of my particular insight was not a result of a spiritual journey, or sitting cross-legged on my yoga mat for hours entering the inner depth of my heart via meditation (although that does sound quite blissful). This insight just simply appeared.

I have gotten into the habit of asking the universe the same questions over and over again, for things such as healing, change, love, and the occasional great hair cut. Once I am ready the universe is in the habit of answering. In the same subtle way the universe always does, whether through an old friend, a moment of inner understanding, perhaps a phone conversation with the most perfect timing or a few whispered words from a loved one. The answer I need finds its way into that place in my gut that I have designated for only the truth.

This particular truth reminded me of an area of myself I have lately forgotten to acknowledge, the incredibly persistent strength of my instincts. I know my instincts are always pretty good, but at times I believe we need that nudge, that small reminder to put faith back into ourselves to really follow those instincts. We sometimes need to see the strength we possess though the eyes and ears of another. Once I chose to look at myself through those new faithful eyes, my spirit is provided with the encouragement I need to take the next step, to soar a little higher and to move on. The universe is also constantly showing you your strengths and your talents, and the question is: Have you chosen to listen?
