It's not meant to be.

It's so tempting to look at your present life situation, at whom you're with, at where you work, at what you have and have not, and think to yourself, "this was obviously meant to be, I'm here for a reason." And to a degree you'd be right. But you are where you are because of the thoughts you used to (and may still) think, and so you are where you are to learn that this is how life works- NOT Because it was meant to be.


Don't give away your power to vague mysterious logic. Tomorrow is a blank slate in terms of people, work, and play, though because it, too, will be of your making, you will again have that sense that it was meant to be, no matter who or what you've drawn into your life.


Nothing is meant to be, except of course for your freedom to choose and your power to create.


Choose big and be happy.

From Notes from the Universe by Mike Dooley.

Every day and with every thought we create the world around us. The manifestations of what we ask the universe for present themselves to us. We all have the power within us to take control of our thoughts and begin to recreate the world as we wish it.  Sometimes saying to ourselves "it was meant to be" is comforting because it allows us to abdicate our responsibility for our own situation. We use use it as a convenient excuse for inaction or for our unwillingness to change.

Think big, dream big, dare to ask for all the things you want and have trust that the Universe is on your side. There is no better ally!
