Have you ever been in bleak
situations, and then, received signs of hope that restored your faith and
lifted you out of your despair? I’ve often wondered, though whether it is really
a manifestation of your own inner optimism that makes you see positive signs or
if there are, in fact, messages from the universe.
Well, I think it takes both to work
together: If we are determined to focus on the positive always, we will find the
uplifting messages that the Universe leaves us to absorb
from. Perhaps it is the universe’s way of encouraging us to stay strong and believe
in the goodness of humanity instead of retreating from the world. Staying fully
engaged in the present and being sensitive to context and perspective, we can
overcome a crushed spirit by drawing hope from these signs.
