Is the universe trying to tell me something?

I saw this quote in a blog and it stuck with me through the day…
“I don’t want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.”
Frank Costello in the movie ‘The Departed’
Then I saw this on a poster in a shop window…
“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Then I heard this in a TV programme…
Father to daughter, “We either define our fate, or we are defined by it.”
Hmmm…
Once is happenstance, twice is a coincidence, three times?
I came up with my own version…
“If we don’t design our fate, then we give fate the right to design us.”
Is that the message?
My best wishes, Paul

5 年Well if you don't listen the first time the universe gives you a nudge it will keep doing it until you get the message. I think you got the message. When we are truly in flow and accept guidance then great things happen.
