We all have many things we are wishing and hoping for, and the universe is constantly sending us opportunities to have the things we want through the Law of Attraction. When we are open to the guidance the universe is sending us, good ideas and proper directions are plentiful, and we get to where we want to be quickly and easily. Unfortunately, sometimes we block some of this valuable guidance from the universe.
One way I have found we often block the guidance from the universe is in our conversations with other people. It is fairly common for us to close our ears when friends, relatives and acquaintances offer advice, suggestions or just general information. Sometimes this happens because we are too busy thinking of the next thing we want to say. Other times, our egos are offended, because we feel the advice implies we aren’t smart enough or that we don’t know things things we feel we already feel we have a grasp on.
However, in my life, I have been noticing that a LOT of the directional guidance the universe has been sending to me has been received through conversations with other people. For example, I never initially intended on adding a blog to my website, but my little brother suggested I do this to generate more traffic, and he was 100% right. Now, my blog has helped me reach a lot of people whom otherwise might never have found my website.
In other instances, a good friend of mine gave me some valuable advice on how to sell my home that saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars. Another friend recently offered me some business advice that significantly helped me expand my social media following.
I have receive countless suggestions and ideas from my friends, relatives and acquaintances like these that have helped me to come closer to my dreams and have brought me a lot of successes. While I used to get a little offended when someone offered unsolicited advice, now my ears perk up, and I get excited because I know I might be receiving a hint from the universe on how to get where I want to be and achieve the goals I am reaching for.
So, if you are looking to open yourself to more of the guidance from the universe, be aware that sometimes guidance will come to you directly through another person-and it’s possible this person might be completely unexpected or unqualified. This isn’t because you are stupid or inexperienced, but rather because the universe is answering a question you have or it is trying to help you reach your goals. The person you are speaking to has simply become a conduit for the universe’s message to you.
While not every suggestion will be a golden nugget, some of them will be. You’ll know the difference, because a good idea will make you feel like a light bulb has just turned on inside of your head.
With this in mind, the next time your best friend gives you relationship advice, or your mother talks to you about a strategy to advance your career, do yourself a favor and consider the advice, if even for just a minute. They just might be telling you exactly what you need to know in order to make one of your dreams come true.
