Notes from the Universe

One of my favorite daily emails that I get are TUT’s Notes from the Universe. I don’t think that there is a daily mailing list that I’ve been on for so long… it’s been a few years, at least.

Today’s note was especially insightful. It describes a common mistake that many (me included) make:


They asked for abundance, and I said, “YES! YES! YES! I know one thousand ways!” I always do.

They said, “All my friends are making money selling widgets, and heck, they don’t even know the laws of the Universe. I’ll make a killing! Nevermind that I’ve never been drawn to selling, or widgets.”

I knew better, so I sent them an old friend who would spark their awesome creative writing skills… they said, “No thank you, I know the law of attraction and there are widgets to sell.”

So I sent a new friend who would help unlock their facilitating skills, romantic to boot, but they said, “Sorry, I must be disciplined. Here, read this book.”

I even whispered in their ear, “What if you considered colors, textures and finishes?” And they thought to themselves, “Hey, once I’m rich, then I can play with colors, textures and finishes!”

Moral of the story, Lyman: Never mess with the cursed hows, dang it.

You rock,
The Universe

Hey, once you’re “rich,” Lyman, what will you do? If you get my drift (yes, precisely, you’re already rich… so?).

So true! I was sitting on this domain for 3 years while I worked on an e-commerce site, then some other affiliate sites because “that’s where the money is.” Now I’m actually doing something I love, for reasons I love, and helping people.

However, if I never did the e-commerce thing, or the affiliate thing, or worked as a consultant, or programmer, I wouldn’t have the programming, SEO, and business skills that I have now. Takes courage to use them in this manner. I’m loving every minute of it:-)

Nneka, you bring up a good point about your past experience. Just because we have gotten sidetracked in the past, there is always always always valuable experience from that, which we can use in the now to bring us what we want.

Thanks for the great comment!
