When Time Is Right

If you feel your efforts at home and in your workplace are being hindered today, you may need to reexamine your goals and priorities. Though you likely believe you are ready to cope with the aftereffects of success, the universe may have other plans for you. Whether you find yourself struggling to meet self-imposed deadlines or are overwhelmed by achievements that seem to fall into your life without warning, it may be the pace you have set that is causing your unease. If you step back for a moment today and ask yourself why you feel unbalanced, you may find contentment in adjusting to the pace the universe has set.

When we accept that the plans the universe has for us may not correspond precisely with our own goals, we can cope with the delays and obstructions that interfere with our progress patiently. Exploring the change in the pace of our advancement proactively and pragmatically can help us understand why we have stalled. There may be lessons the universe needs us to learn before it will let us move into the next phase of our evolution. Or we may be resisting the pull of success, afraid of the changes the realization of our dreams will bring into our lives. Rather than feeling frustrated by sluggish velocity, we can use the respite to reflect upon what it is we truly want out of life. When you accept that you are where you are supposed to be today, you can begin to understand your universal plans.
