Happiest of Wednesdays, my beautiful humans! It’s been a hot minute since we’ve dived into a good quote, hasn’t it? Did you miss them? I missed writing them 😊 Before I give you the quote, let’s set the scene for today’s gem.

Picture this: I’m on the phone with Darius, venting about how unfulfilled and drained I’ve been feeling lately (not with him, with life. Just to clear that up - no need for any rumors!). After our chat, I went on a walk with some friends around the city. Completely unaware of my inner turmoil, one of my friends dropped this wisdom bomb on me while we were chatting about something totally unrelated. And that’s how I stumbled upon today’s quote. She said:

“If the universe wants me to have it, it will give it to me. It will make the moment happen twice. If not more. Meaning, it will present the moment again, and let me take it when I am truly ready to receive.” Sarah Sarkhosh ✨

I needed this reminder. Sometimes we get so caught up in chasing what we think we need or want right now, and we forget that timing is everything. The universe* has this amazing way of giving us second chances. Like, how many times have you missed an opportunity and felt like it was the end of the world, only for it to pop up again later when you were actually ready for it?

Sarah's words reminded me to give myself grace. Just because something didn’t happen the first time, doesn’t mean it wasn’t meant for me. Maybe I wasn’t ready then. Maybe I needed to grow a little more, learn a few more lessons, or just be in a better place mentally, emotionally, financially, and/or physically to truly appreciate and make the most of that opportunity.

And although I know the universe has my back and this is simply a season of life, I am allowed to feel multiple things at once. I do feel drained, unfulfilled with my career at this moment, and need to re-establish boundaries. It’s okay to acknowledge those feelings while still believing that better things are on the horizon.

This is also your reminder that no one in this life has it all together. So, to anyone feeling a bit down or frustrated because things aren’t going as planned, take a deep breath. Trust that the universe has your back. What’s meant for you will come around again, probably when you least expect it. And when it does, you’ll be ready to grab it with both hands and make it yours.

Keep your eyes and heart open, my friends. The universe is always conspiring to bring you exactly what you need, exactly when you need it. And if you miss it the first time, don’t worry – the moment will come again.

Here’s to embracing the journey, even when it feels uncertain. Remember that every step you take brings you closer to the moments meant just for you. The universe is always working in our favor, even if we can't see it right now. Stay patient, stay open, and most importantly, stay kind to yourself.

Trust your journey. Rest your soul. Always leave people better than you found them and have a joyful day and a rejuvenating weekend ahead! 👽🫶🏻🧿

*Universe or higher power. Whatever YOU believe in ☺️
