Your Goal and the Divine's Plan

When you have your eyes on the prize on the 1 thing you want more than air to breath. Achieving it will complete the end goal, seal the deal, make you feel at ease and secure. 

But the goal you set and the plan you had, was yours and not necessarily God/Divine/universes plan or goal. So we don't achieve it in the way we wanted it to be, wrapped in the gift box we prepared, the steps we set out to maybe keep control of how it unfolded, in the timeframe we set. (or is this just me)

Then it doesn't happen that way we can feel disheartened, not worthy, not deserving and so on..........

I would like to share a dream I had at the beginning of 2021 to have my own home here in Australia. I've been here 8yrs where I have rented and moved around a lot, never having any of my own furniture or really feeling like I belonged or felt at home where I stayed. 

But here's the thing I didn't think it would be possible for me that by the end of the year I would have put an offer on a home.

Being self-employed, female hitting 40yrs and on her own who would that even be possible to gain finance to make it happen. That's only 1 story, the story I told myself. Time to tell a different story and no matter what you are facing you can write and tell a different one. 

Because that all changed when I was put in touch with a mortgage broker ( for anyone self-employed find a good one if you are in this area to wanting to buy a home) Everything organically began to happen over a few months finances in order tax returns and all the documents ready for the pre-approval application. I felt like it was all meant to be for me and I was so excited ready to buy my own home. 

The excitement soon faded when challenge after challenge began to unfold. The plan I had was not the plan that was unfolding before me. I decide to have over the issue to the Divine I had proceeded forward to begin to look at homes and found a real estate to begin that process. I also got manifesting in a very addicted way, my way of controlling the outcome (:-)) It was now over 2 months and still no outcome from the banks. 

I found a home I fell in love with, one that wasn't even on the market yet and thought yes that's my home and how aligned with what I was creating and manifesting. 

 One small problem I was the second person to find out about the home and they had already put an offer in, but the real estate wasn't 100% certain they would get the finance. So said to put an offer in and wait for the outcome, so I did. Super attracting got turned up in a very high volume way (oops did it again) 

 I then took a call a few weeks later that the first offer have been accepted and approved. At first, I felt relieved knowing, but then a few days later the doubt, the self-worth, all came up and the bank was still not playing ball. I felt my dream and had been taken away from me and that was still my story of it not being for me. 

I had some pity part days let me tell you......

But then I remembered my Gran always says "what's for you won't go by you"

That home was not meant for me, the next one is, and the same for you no matter what you are going through, the challenges, the setbacks, rejections etc....... its because something greater is for you and it's leading the way to you, you might just not see it yet. 

I then received the outcome from the mortgage broker that the bank would loan but not near the amount presented and applied for, which in my mind is a smaller place than I had anticipated or really wanted for my home. There was my story again a female on her own turning 40yrs and the only way to get her dream home would be to reply on having a man and partner in her life. I lived so much of my life independent owning my own home back in Scotland and never even asked my parent for financial support. This was gut-wrenching. 

After a few days of yes another pity party, I said enough, my goal and plan is not the plan and goal that is being set for me so surrender and let the process unfold rather than trying to control the outcome.  

So I decided to let go and in doing that I felt better, and another mortgage broker has been brought into the path and will see where the New Year takes me in buying my own home. Watch this space!

We are all faced with challenges or disappointments and how much control we like to have in the process. But at times we need to let go, take out aligned action and then let go and it will work out in the end, albeit a different way.
