“The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.”
Albert Einstein
What if the entire Universe is conspiring on your behalf?
What if you have tribes of Universal cheerleaders supporting you in every conceivable way?
What if no matter what may be happening in your life right now, everything is playing in your favor?
If you fully accepted that this is a friendly Universe, would you give up a little control? If you knew everything was working out for you, would you relax and let go of fear? Would you allow yourself to have more fun? Would you be open to taking more risks?
If you believe that this is a hostile Universe, letting go of control can be one of the scariest things you can do. It’s like putting yourself at the mercy of the enemy.
I know because I used to believe the Universe was out to get me.
I couldn’t get a break. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. I was a victim to people and situations.
It wasn’t until I began giving up control, surrendering, and trusting my well-being that I began to fully experience it.
It’s one of those dichotomy’s of life:
- You have to give up control to gain it.
- You have to feel appreciated to be able to receive the appreciation of another.
- You have to feel beautiful before you can hear and believe the compliments you are given.
Whatever you believe—the Universe will provide you evidence of that belief.
Open your mind and look for all the reasons everything is working out for you instead of all the reasons it isn’t.
Make lists of the things that are falling into place. Relax and play more. Practice accepting that this is just where you are in the journey. Expect a different outcome. Have a little faith.
As Abraham-Hicks says, “a belief is just a thought you keep thinking.” Little-by-little, step-by-step, practice believing that this is a friendly Universe.
And then enjoy the evidence of that belief.
Together we can do it!

I think our universe is friendly, but hostile when we’re in need of a favour, if that makes sense!
Just know you are getting what you believe. How’s that working for you?
I hear you on this one… true. 😉
Great post! I could use a little work on this. I am always looking for something more, even when what is, is great. I feel like that is related. I also know that I am afraid to take some professional risks that I bet my Universal Cheerleaders would applaud if I just took the leap. Thanks for another thoughtful post!
Being content and yet eager for more is an amazing attitude with which to face life. And if you are aware of where you are acting out of fear, that is significant and means you have the opportunity to make teeny tiny steps that feel like progress. You don’t have to jump off a cliff. But what feels like the risk of sticking your toe out? That’s enough. Thanks for commenting! I appreciate you!
Great advice. Thank you!!! By the way, I think I finally fixed the problem with my comments going to spam. I am glad I figured out that was happening with you so thanks for that too! 🙂
So glad we got that figured out! Thanks so much for checking with me. Appreciate your comments!
