Ever notice how, when someone dreams of happiness, abundance, health, romance, or friendship, they never have to wonder if it's in their best interest?
But when someone dreams of a specific house, employer, love interest, deadline, dollar amount, or diet fad, they often end up contradicting themselves?
Keep your "end results" general, . Everything else is just a how.
To the big picture,
The Universe
Laurel, the Chinese say, "The best time to plant a tree was always 20 years ago. The second best time is always today."
Funny how planting trees and taking action on the life of your dreams are the same that way.
The Universe
I was wondering, Laurel, if we could use your name, story, and likeness to begin promoting a new series here for angel trainees called, "Extreme Success in Time and Space"?
You blow us away every single day.
Thanks,
The Universe
Warming planet - check.
Species on brink of extinction - check.
Ice caps melting - check.
Economies in chaos - check.
Laurel Stone "in the house" - the one and only.
Grab a seat. We're about to witness the most exciting comeback in history.
How do you always get these leading roles?
The Universe
Someone loves you very, very much, Laurel, and because you received this email, no matter how you received this email, it's important that you know it.
Someone besides me,
The Universe
Tell me, Laurel, do folks really think they can become lost, end up lonely, or fail, when all they have to do to change absolutely everything is help another?
Your G.P.S. of love,
The Universe
Remember the joy you used to feel when you'd find a quarter lying in the street?
And how exciting it was when you got older and found a crumpled $20 bill in the pocket of a pair of jeans you hadn't worn in months?
Well brace yourself, Laurel, because the day isn't far off when in-between taking naps, swimming laps, and doing the routine happy dance, you'll be busy gathering documents for your tax return preparer and suddenly you'll find a statement to a bank account you don't even remember opening, with more than enough money in it to do whatever it is your heart now longs to do.
You do trip us out.
Sure enough,
The Universe
Excuse me, Laurel, but I don't think I noticed, "do a little dance," on your "to-do list."
You do plan to dance today, don't you?
Get down,
The Universe
People, when given a chance, Laurel, smile, skip, and dance.
They create, play, and laugh.
They care, share, and love.
And the ones who don't, haven't yet realized that chances are something you give yourself.
Double dare you,
The Universe
Sometimes, understanding their fears, Laurel, helps you to understand their actions, as well as their pain.
Plus, understanding their fears sometimes helps you to understand your own.
Ti amo,
The Universe
One of the things I've learned from witnessing civilization after civilization after civilization, Laurel, is that one should never underestimate the profound resiliency of the human spirit, nor how swiftly things can change for the better - often overnight.
Swoosh -
The Universe
Have you stopped to consider that it's life's "disconnects," "almosts," and "not quites," Laurel, that make life's "connections," "gotchas," and "eurekas" so fantastically romantic?
Good, because they were your idea.
Wild thing,
The Universe
Just curious, Laurel, when was the last time you looked into a mirror and addressed yourself as "Gorgeous," "Magnificent," or "Sublime"?
Laurel, it matters.
Tallyho,
The Universe
Sometimes when you're ready for a change, Laurel, and you kind of know it but won't admit it, when it comes, not only are you surprised, but it hurts.
Yeah, I know that doesn't help much, unless you remember the "ready" part. Because there is simply no change that might ever transpire in time and space that happens before you're fully able to use it for your own growth and glory.
Love watching you create,
The Universe
Something that might add some sugar and spice to your daily comings and goings, Laurel, would be to constantly remind yourself, "I created this, because I wanted to."
Prepare to be empowered,
The Universe
Never underestimate, Laurel, how many friends you have, how close you are, and how much fun you're going to have.
Because, as you've seen throughout your entire amazing life, one usually gets exactly what they've been estimating.
You thrill me,
The Universe
If you look closely enough, intent upon understanding those things that cause you great pain and consternation, Laurel, ultimately, I promise you, you'll find great joy and illumination.
Take the bait,
The Universe
When you can look beneath their behavior that hurt you, Laurel, and you can see thefrightened child - it becomes nearly impossible to be angry and carry a grudge.
And you so can.
ILY,
The Universe
Oh yeah, regarding your ancient spiritual contracts, Laurel, that outlined every facet of the life you now lead? Well, just wanted to remind you that they're all re-written every dawn, and perpetually updated as each day unfolds.
Proving yet again that nothing is meant to be, that you are truly unlimited, and that anything can happen next, if you choose it.
Whooohooooo!
The Universe
Simply imagine happiness, Laurel, your own happiness. Feel the smile stretching across your face, notice the lightness in your step, hear the sparkle in your voice, and all things, material and spiritual, will dance to the beat of your drums.
Happy Thursday!
The Universe
Haven't I always shown up with the right idea, at the right time, to spin your head and rock your world, when you least expected it, Laurel?
Give yourself this rest you've earned.
You're my butterfly,
The Universe
Until you dream, Laurel, there isn't a mold.
Until you speak, there isn't a promise.
And until you move, there isn't a path.
Yet do these simple things, Laurel, and you totally own me.
Friendsters forever,
The Universe
No one ever regrets raising the bar, Laurel, ever, ever, ever.
Scare yourself,
The Universe
