Have you ever noticed how many opportunities come into your life that you don't take advantage of? The whole point of life is growth – becoming the best version of yourself. Whether that means becoming a successful entrepreneur, healing deep-rooted trauma, being the best parent to your children, or simply becoming a kinder person, life is fundamentally about growth.
Your Mind: The Ultimate Blocker
The number one obstacle preventing most people from evolving is their own mind. Resistance to new opportunities creates unnecessary suffering. I have a theory that we don't actually need to suffer as much as we do. Yes, we all face challenging moments, difficult phases, losses, and deaths – but many people live in a permanent state of suffering, depression, anxiety, and low vibration.
Here's something fascinating about the universe: it doesn't know what you're going through down here. Your source, angels, guides – they keep bringing opportunities your way regardless. These opportunities come based on two factors:
Where you are in your healing journey
Timing (especially important for relationships)
The Sign You Can't Ignore
When an opportunity comes that will force you to grow and challenge yourself, it's imperative that you take action. This is the biggest sign from the universe that something is meant for you.
Unfortunately, what I often see is people resisting these opportunities. They create stories about why they can't move forward:
"I'm not ready."
"I can't believe this person likes me."
"How is this going to work?"
"I'm too tired."
"I don't have time."
When you repeat these stories thousands of times, you begin to believe them. These become your belief systems, and your body acts on those beliefs. You stay in a low vibration, don't take action, remain depressed, experience anxiety, and physically don't move forward.
Fast forward 5, 10, 20, or 30 years, and you'll look back with regret, thinking, "I should have done that."
The Universe Communicates Through Signs
The opportunities are always there, and though the universe cannot physically push you (it doesn't have hands!), the signs it sends are strong. When you get an intuitive hit, don't dismiss it as coincidence. The signs are real.
If you don't take action on these opportunities, that energy has to go somewhere. When we move forward toward growth, we expand that energy. But when we don't, that energy suppresses down into our bodies and often manifests as physical ailments. Every body part has a spiritual component, definition, and purpose.
The Fastest Way to Accelerate Growth
The greatest thing you can do for your growth – and the fastest way to accelerate your spiritual journey – is to never say no to new opportunities, no matter how scary they seem. At least say yes, at least give it a try. Stop resisting.
It's important to understand that you are the powerful one here. You are either empowering or disempowering yourself with every decision you make.
When an opportunity comes from the universe, there's a window for you to take action. That window might be small or large, but if you keep resisting, the opportunity will eventually leave. And the longer you stay in resistance, the harder it becomes to break free from it.
Breaking the Cycle of Resistance
I've seen people stay in resistance for years or even decades – remaining in toxic relationships, staying in toxic jobs, never physically moving, never working on their growth, never changing routines. They've been doing the same thing for 10, 20, or 30 years. For someone like me, that's torture.
Your intuition will tell you what to do and what steps to take, but you won't be able to access or listen to your intuition if your mind is taking over. The mind is sneaky and will convince you to stay the same.
A Different Perspective: "Let's See What Happens"
Instead of creating stories and trying to control situations (which we do to create emotional safety), try switching your narrative. Tell yourself one thing: "Let's see what happens."
Treat every opportunity coming into your life as an experience – because that's what it is. You're living through multiple experiences, and you have no idea what's going to happen. By trying to control outcomes, you're missing out on incredible growth, opportunities, and potential.
Change your narrative. When a new opportunity comes in, just say, "Let's see what happens."
Got an opportunity to move to a different city for a new job? Let's see what happens.
Someone asked you on a date when you'd normally play video games in your comfort zone? Change that story and say, "Let's see what happens."
When you change up your routine, you'll be amazed at how quickly your life transforms.
Are you ready to stop resisting and start growing?
