Sometimes things just seem to come together.

‍

Without pushing or planning, what we want just appears.

‍

Not from our current efforts.

‍

Others offer to us what we would love to manifest.

‍

And that feels so good.

‍

Although what is brought to us may not seem like if took our effort, it actually did.

‍

Perhaps not our effort in the here and now.

‍

Maybe not much effort in the setting up of things.

‍

Yet there is a foundation that it was all built upon.

‍

There was effort that we made in the past.

‍

We often do not recognize how that effort we put in yesterday, created the pathway for things to come to us in the future.

‍

How our efforts weeks, months, or even years ago, allows life to bring us our desires in the future.

‍

All the work we have done to refine ourselves, to improve ourselves, to strengthen ourselves, serves us not only in the moment, but in many moments to come.

‍

In fact, the groundwork we have laid in years past may not seem at all relevant today.

‍

We may have even forgotten about all the effort and hardships we went through because of how long ago they happened.

‍

Yet life remembers.

‍

Life does not forget a single thing.

‍

All those times we struggled and sweated through our challenges all serve us at some point in the future.

‍

They made us ready to be here today and be able to receive the gifts that life now brings us.

‍

Sometimes, when we are struggling o much and we can't see a way forward, it is easy to get discouraged.

‍

When we preserve and keep on our path we will eventually get through our challenges.

‍

We will thrive.

‍

Yet it all happens on life's timing, not ours.

‍

And it is an irony of life that when we least expect those miracles to show up, they do.

‍

Those years of yearning for something to manifest, actually lead to something even better.

‍

We could not have planned things so perfectly even if we had tried.

‍

For life has a much better imagination for our lives than we do.

‍

While we may surrender to life when we can't see a way forward, that surrender leads to a greater path.

‍

One that may humble us and inspire us.

‍

So when things are at the most trying for us, it is good to remember that all we are doing is planting the seeds for a greater future.

‍

And the surprises that life has in store for us will surely make it all worthwhile.

‍

So where in your life do you feel like you are struggling when you are actually planting seeds for the future?
