If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading. - Lao Tzu
Whether you call it God, The Universe, or Source, whatever it is it sure has a funny way of teaching you some valuable lessons in the most simple, but in your face way. Saturday evening after work, I headed down to the Luxor casino to meet some friends to see Carrot Top live in person. No the lesson to be learned wasn’t that you won’t find happiness in steroids and too much plastic surgery, it in fact was a lesson regarding blessings in life that are yours for the taking, and how to find the right path, to ensure you cross paths with those blessings.
One thing I seem to manifest in life with relative ease is parking places. Sure it may sound like a weird thought, but I can show up just about anywhere, anytime and find a parking space exactly where I want it to be. I have always known this to be true, I don’t doubt it for a second, and I see evidence of this little blessing, miracle, whatever you want to call it occur in my life all the time
As I entered the Luxor parking lot, I noticed it was pretty full, I was already running a bit late, so I headed right towards the door to find a parking spot that was close. As I drove through the parking lot, I did not scan to see if I could see any open spaces, in fact I decided that the second row would have an available space for me to park, so I turned down that row and looking to the left I proceeded to drive where I expected my space to be. However, as I got to where my space should have been all the spaces were full. I kid you not, when I say that I was shocked, I just knew there would be a parking space available for me right here. So I started to drive off to go down another lane, and as I drove off, something caught my attention in the rear view mirror. On the exact opposite side of where I was looking for my space, there it was. The open space. It was there all along, all I had to do was look to the right.
What’s my point? There are miracles and blessings flying into our lives daily, in fact you should learn to expect that blessings and miracles will show up in your life, accept and be grateful for this fact of life, and once again show even more gratitude when they do manifest themselves. However the simple little lesson I learned that night was that don’t always expect them to only come from one place, or one direction,. Don’t do as I was doing, and trying to force the Universe to work within my set of rules, but without any effort on your part just allow these blessings and miracles to show up in your life in their own time, in their own way, and they will come, sometimes you just have to be prepared to look right, instead of left, and there they will be.
