Surrender to the universe and step away from the ego

The universe wants you to live your best life. Since you’re part of it, when you’re happy, you add to the overall well-being of its vast existence.

We’re inside of an evolving, well-organized, and loving universe. It isn’t winning unless everyone is winning. So, when you surrender to the universe, you set your own individual needs aside and allow the directives of the universe to guide you effortlessly toward your success.

It’s not so easy all the time. Our egos want to pull us this way and that, showing us paths that may involve struggle and strife but lure us in nonetheless with shiny, enticing things that bring an illusion of happiness. We overthink and invent hopes and dreams for ourselves that align with our ego, not with the universe overall.

The true clear path becomes less obvious as many paths open, all promising some desirable outcome. As long as we chase riches, status, fame, and material possessions, we will be unable to see the correct path. The clarity is muddied by all kinds of wants and desires coming from the small self instead of the universe.

But you can step aside and allow the universe back in. All you have to do is let go.
