You and the universe are quite an interesting team, you know? You think it up and dream it up in your mind, and the great force that knows your soul’s intentions either moves heaven and earth to make it happen or does nothing at all because you’re not sticking to the plan. When things are hard it’s because you’ve gone rogue. And when you go rogue, teamwork goes right out the window. When your ego-mind really gets going and starts calling the big shots and making grandiose decisions, your wingman (the universe) goes rogue on you. Your wingman tackles you down, causes interference, and well, just plain ruins everything.

Or so it seems.

It’s tough love, but it’s all in the name of getting you to stick to the plan.

You’ve seen this tough love before. That job you thought was going to be the best job ever actually turned out to be a living hell. That business you started was so hard to get off the ground and then tanked before you knew it. That home you just had to have was a money pit…and rather haunted. That person you thought was the one, was so not the one.

Those were the times you went rogue and your wingman wasn’t going to have any of it. Nothing about the job, the business, the house, or the relationship was easy because your wingman was either completely apathetic or went to great lengths to make it a total gong show so you and your ego would finally give up.

We’ve grown up being told nothing comes easy and anything worth having is hard. Hmmmm. While I believe effort (even a bit of blood, sweat, and tears) in this life is a worthy endeavour and necessary for results, I also believe in checking how it feels and listening to that little voice inside telling you whether your wingman is on board with all this.

I believe in living your soul’s truth and singing your song. When you do, things are easy. You have experienced this before – your effort seems effortless – things are unfolding beautifully. There’s no drama. It’s like butter on toast. It’s not the battle that it once was before. Everything seems well-timed, well-planned, and well-orchestrated. Thanks wingman.

Take the easy way. Your mind will always present stuff, but then see how it sits with your soul. If it’s easy, it’s meant to be. If it’s not, you’ll feel that intolerable tug of your wingman’s apathy or sabotage.

As Danielle LaPorte states in her creed below, let it be easy. When it’s easy, that’s a neon sign indicating that you and the universe are working in harmony. You are thinking, but then ultimately tuning into the wisdom of your soul. Look at you sticking to the plan.
