Notes from the Universe
Posted 10/18/2019 03:11PM

There are these emails that I was signed up for by a family member, my uncle to be exact. These emails are called notes from the universe. These notes give you a special message to brighten your day. They come every weekday and it is crazy how they correlate to whatever is going on in your life that week or day. I have comprised some of my favorite notes. Here they are...

  1. Funny, how some folks think that avoiding challenges will bring them peace? As if the peace they now know didn't come from earlier challenges that were faced, and mastered.

OK - not really that funny,

The Universe

This one actually came the morning I was very stressed about school and wanted to stay home. After receiving this, I decided to face the challenge and go anyway. I now know I am capable of achieving even when I feel like I can't.

  1. The more challenges one faces today, the more "Whoohooo's!" "Yeehaaa's!" and "Holy Batman's!" tomorrow.

This is similar to the previous one, but just as true. The more we rise up to challenges and stay strong the stronger we actually become. We experience a little bit of anxiety now to give us a larger amount of happiness for the rest of our lives.

  1. You may not ever understand what's going on in their life, but you can always figure out what's going on in yours.

This is about not letting your worries about others impact you. Someone is already spending their time worrying about their life. This means that you should be focused on yours. I want to make clear that this is not about not helping someone. You should ALWAYS help someone when you can. It is more of stop thinking you can solve other people's problems. You are only capable of solving your own because you are the one who has a full description of what's going on in your life.

  1. Growth comes from change.

Happiness comes from acceptance.

you're built to do both, at once.

We are mentally strong enough to accept change and understand when it is time to accept. We can't be afraid of change, new things come from change, happiness comes from change, "growth comes from change." Don't stunt your growth by being afraid of a little change.

  1. Generosity and gratitude, turn good into great.

When we help people and when we are grateful, the world knows we are ready for something even better. When we are able to achieve these two simple things, we are able to achieve even greater things for ourselves.

These messages are truly crazy. These have inspired me and helped me everyday. There are many more that I could share with you but they will have to wait. I hope these have inspired you like they have me. AND I have left the link on this so you can sign up for these, if you want. :)
