While we might not all be comfortable where we are in our lives, we could still be exactly where we need to be. Not every place we hold is going to be one that we enjoy, sometimes we have to get through the uncomfortable places to be where we want to be in life.

Sometimes looking for the signs that we are where we need to be is enough to help keep us moving. This meaning if you’re not paying attention to them, you should be. The universe works in mysterious ways and the more you pay attention to the small things the more you will notice the universe speaking to you.
