Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and often, the most meaningful gifts are connections and opportunities when we least expect them. Sometimes referred to as serendipity, or as I call it, God incidents, these occurrences suggest that there is a natural flow to life that, when embraced, can lead us to the right people who are meant to benefit from our gifts or to share their gifts with us. It’s as though the universe has its own encounters and experiences that align with each one of us and our deepest intentions.
Some people pour their heart into their work, yet struggle to find the right audience. Attending countless exhibitions, applying for numerous grants and still feeling as though they are missing the connections they truly seek. It’s in these moments of uncertainty that trust becomes crucial. By releasing the need to control every outcome and remaining open to new possibilities, we may find that the universe brings to us a small, intimate connection where our work resonates profoundly with those who see its true value.
Trusting the universe to connect us with the right people also involves embracing authenticity. When we share our gifts from a place of genuine passion and integrity, we naturally attract those who appreciate and resonate with our true selves. This authenticity acts as a magnet guiding the right individuals toward us and fostering connections that are both meaningful and fulfilling.
By consistently living out our values and dedicating ourselves to our deepest cause, we might find that others with similar passions are drawn to our efforts. These connections are not random but are instead a reflection of our commitment and the universe’s way of aligning us with like-minded individuals who share our vision.
Trusting the universe also requires patience and never giving up on the big picture. It’s easy to become disheartened when things don’t happen on our timeline, but it’s important to remember that there is often a larger plan at work. By staying open to unexpected paths and remaining patient, we allow ourselves to be guided to the right people at the right time.
How many times, when we trust the universe and share our gifts with the right people, can we create a ripple effect that extends far beyond our immediate circles? Our contributions can inspire, uplift and transform the lives of others in ways we may never fully comprehend. This ripple effect is a testament to the interconnectedness of our lives and the power of trusting in the universe’s guidance as the right person shows up or the phone rings and they need what you have.
Keep your heart open to every possibility—it just might be your or their lucky day!
