How Did WE GET HERE?
When we are unhappy about where we are in life, we have to accept the truth about most situations we find ourselves in are a direct result of our ACTIONS or LACK OF ACTIONS.
CHANGE in behavior is the catalyst to achieving our goals, desires and dreams! Change is NOT a bad thing!
Just over three years ago we surrendered ourselves to the Universe. It was becoming evident the harder we tried to control our destiny, our efforts we not moving us towards the financial peace we so desperately sought.
So, we sold our home in Windsor, Ontario and put our fear of the unknown completely upon the shoulders of the Universe. We let the Universe know we were willing to do or go where ever needed to achieve the peace we sought in our lives. We surrendered our control, realizing our struggle was financially fear based over the last 5 years as we purchased and operated our online garden decor store, GardenHouseFlags.com.
We followed promptings and researched where we could go in order to reach our goals and truly be happy. This was a very difficult step for me, as I am one who likes to control as many aspects of my life as possible. The first step in trusting the Universe was buying a house in New Brunswick - site unseen.
We arrived and set up our store in Calais, Maine. After almost two years of hand-to-mouth living while expanding our business to include home decor, we lost our lease for the commercial space in Calais. Panic stricken because this was uncomfortable and opened Pandora's box of my past fear of the unknown - what are we going to do, we have to make decisions fast and what if we fail?
In our panic stricken state pertaining to what next, a couple from Eastport walked into our store, invited us to a BBQ the next day, and we met people who helped us secure our current business location in Eastport. And how our business surged and took off since our arrival in this charming, quaint seaside town.
We never looked back! Calais was but a mere stepping stone or short chapter in our lives. The Universe knew something we did not. Eastport Maine is where our business would be more plentiful.
I credit our hard work ethics but our success really is a result of our willingness to trust the Universe - That It knows better than myself. We trusted the Universe even when we found ourselves in fear and chaos due to the loss of a place to operate our business. I believe when tested, you have to trust the Universe - NOT AN EASY FEAT.
Now, we are grateful for the community's support. We are here because this is where we should be right now. We are closer than ever to achieving our financial peace - a feared that 3 years ago we thought would never happen.
I share this because I hear great concern from our customers regarding how current times seem uncertain and they have growing fears and concerns. Don't get caught in the cycle of fear based decision making. Stand still in your space and remember to trust the Universe to know what you need and then surrender by removing the biggest obstacle in your road to peace - YOURSELF.
Find peace by taking action. Trusting in the Universe is an action. But this trust does not absolve you for remaining diligent in taking steps into the unknown that seem scary.
So, that's how we got here! What's your story on how you got where you are? If your actions are fear bases, then I recommend trying other route.
Find peace in trust during your uncertain times.
We are very blessed to have landed in Eastport Maine.
