The universe works in mysterious ways..

As I was sitting in this new cubical with my slacks, dress shirt, and the rare addition of heels-- it came to my realization how unique, accurate, and special the universe and its energy is.

Looking at where I was, its hard to believe where I am now. All of my downfalls, frustrations, and anger were things I had to go through to get to this amazing point in my life. The universe will always put you down and deny you opportunities that you feel are the best fit and the only option.

But...

There's a reason for it. The universe denies them because of the better plan it has in store.

Six months ago, I was being chained down by a long-term unhealthy relationship. It was all I had known and losing that was like losing a huge part of who I thought I was. Given the timing of Winter Holidays and the monumental "legal" birthday, the break up couldn't have been worse. I wasn't accustomed to the feeling of being alone again after almost 4 years and the aftermath and the findings added insult to injury. The downfalls were never ending.

But...

That relationship and break up taught me more about myself than I ever thought possible. I learned to never settle for something less than what I deserve and to not let anyone bring me down. I've never felt happier, stronger, or more proud than I do today. it has led me to meeting so many great people, growing the relationships with my family, and strengthening those friendships I had started.

Energy...

Works in the same way. We have this sense, even if we don't know it, for when someone has good energy and when they don't. Ever get a wierd feeling when meeting someone new? or a bad feeling about one of your friends new boyfriend/girlfriend? Individual energy is what attracts us to one another. However, just because you may have some great energy within and surrounding you, it still doesn't eliminate that temptation and attraction to those that have bad energy. It is human nature to cling to someone who presents this sort of energy because we want to try to change and help them or because it makes us feel more superior and stronger.

Resist the temptation and surround yourself with equal or greater strength to challenge you and help your growth as a person. As i have learned, don't let someone bring you down, Surround yourself with people who are going to continue to build you up.

There are people who are already in our lives and who have been for awhile, that possess a poisonious energy (to some degree) than what we should surround ourselves in. After time, you should learn to do a cleanse and cut those ties. It won't be easy and it doesn't have to be cut off cold turkey. it can be done slowly and gradually. You'll feel so much better once you do.

Take it from me. I'm a doctor.
