'We seem to be heading in the right direction, we’re doing the right things but circumstances are still conspiring against us.'

I believe that whilst we’re in contact with others who don't conform to the rules of the universe, the universe will always conspire to ensure those people learn from their experiences, even if it means us getting caught in the crossfire.

To change an outcome for ourselves, we must all work together and do as the universe dictates. Not working together in balance and in harmony with the universe, means things will rarely work out.

    1. Yes thanks Lisa. It gets harder though when we're relying on other people, who fail to conform to the universe. It's all the more frustrating when things don't work out for us and we have.

    1. I agree with you. Just when we think we've got things sorted, the universe sends us all another lesson to keep us on our toes, but it probably wouldn't have to teach us our lessons if we all followed and understood the universe and its laws.

      The universe is and has always been part of the equation, but I'm not sure how many of us really understand that.
