The Secret to Effortless Power

As my students start understanding and truly applying universal laws in their everyday lives, one of the most common comments they make is: “It is amazing, I did not plan for anything, and it all flowed in a way much better than I could have ever expected!”
It may be a trip, a job interview, a date, a business meeting, a sales negotiation, or simply commuting to work. It does not matter, what we often notice is that stepping out of the way, and allowing for the Universe to do its work, is a great principle for leading what I call the effortless life.
It may have happened to you before. Probably you were planning that dream vacation trip for months, or preparing for the business presentation or an important job interview. Then, when the event finally came to pass, you were less than satisfied, if not totally disappointed, with the results you were so anxious about for days or even months. On the other side, you may have engaged in something without any preparation, expectation or projection, and it just turned out to be much better than you could ever imagine.
One thing that we must realize is that the Universe works smoothly. Once we set a goal or intention, this Higher Force immediately starts creating the means for us to experience the desired outcome. And let me tell you; the Universe is wise and direct. The path set in front of us will be clear and straight, no bumps in the road, no sidetracking. We are given the shortcut as soon as we set our minds on our desired end results.
Yes that is true. The only reason why you may not experience that smooth flow every single time is because you simply get in the way. You think you can outsmart the “big guy up there”, come up with your own shortcuts or solutions. What you’re usually doing, instead, is sabotaging your own process. You are trying to come up with a “plan”.
The problem with this strategy is that we try to use our minds to define the way and to guide us. However, your mind is usually driven by your hidden codes (beliefs), which may not be in sync with your goals. Your mind also tries to rationalize and make sense out of things and events. And usually the Universe works in mysterious ways, yes indeed. Don’t try to make sense out of the Universe’s ways. God did not graduate from one of your “traditional” colleges or universities. He-She is not limited by your primitive paradigms. Therefore, your dysfunctional “logic” and outdated rules of “how things should be” do not apply at this level. Those who have experienced this truth can attest to it.
