“All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.” – Swami Vivekananda
I wish to remind you the universe is perfect just the way it is.
The next time you’re having a rough day, contemplating how you’d like to change the world – stop, pause and remember the universe (uni-verse: one song) functions perfectly despite your best intention to change it.
I was reminded of this when recounting my troubles to a friend. In the midst of my whining, he stopped me, “If you think you could do a better job, why don’t you design your own universe – see if that works.”
I immediately witnessed the irrationality of my thoughts believing I was somehow greater than universal intelligence.
The world is perfect EXACTLY as it is.
Hold that idea in your mind right now. Suspend your judgement and set about CONTRIBUTING and creating your own universe by following your heart. Impact others in a deep and meaningful way and watch your world expand.
You Don’t Have To Handle Pressure Alone
If this piece mirrors the challenges you’re currently facing, it may be highlighting how you respond to pressure, change, or uncertainty. I work with professionals and leaders who want to think clearly under stress and move forward with strength and direction.
