It seems so unfair: often good people seem to have bad things happen. Far more than they deserve. Maybe you’ve experienced that yourself. It seems so unfair!
So what could be behind this. Shouldn’t we always be rewarded by the universe when we help others, and do good in the world? Well, that would be nice, but it doesn’t work like that.
Vibration is the key. The world is a mirror, so if we are full of fear, then no matter how many good things we do, we’re more likely to attract things to fear into our lives.
Why? Because that way, we can explore our beliefs, to see what false belief might live within us.
e.g. some people believe the world is cruel and unsafe, and so that’s what they attract into their lives.
This gives them an opportunity to see that belief isn’t helpful. i.e. it creates unwanted results.
By replacing that belief with its opposite, life improves. e.g. the world is safe, and I attract good things.
When this belief really lives within us, the universe will reflect it back to us, like a boomerang.
e.g. we will find our world is indeed safe, and good things come to us.
In other words, a reflective universe helps us to see what our beliefs are, and whether they serve us. If we don’t like the life we’ve created, we can change it by changing our beliefs.
So how do we discover our innermost beliefs? Here’s a good question:
What would I have to believe to create this in my life?
Another one is:
What am I afraid might happen if I do this?
This last one helps us figure out what we fear. Because if we focus on things to fear, that’s what we attract to ourselves.
We don’t always figure out these things quickly, although that can happen.
Either way, it’s important to persist with this process, otherwise our lives will never improve.
Sometimes we can see how it works with others, and learn more quickly.
e.g. an angry friend might attract other angry people into their lives.
If we don’t want that, we might start look at any anger of our own, and work through it.
The bottom line: by exploring our own beliefs, we can see which serve us, and which do not.
e.g. ‘the world is friendly’ will produce a more enjoyable life than ‘the world is out to get me’.
There are many other tools to help with this process, but just asking these questions is a great way to get started.
Make sure you don’t ever judge yourself if you find you’ve taken on board unhelpful beliefs. We all do, unintentionally, so it’s best to just accept that, forgive ourselves, and replace them with better beliefs.
Good luck!
