MONIROSE SOUL

MONIROSE SOUL

All the drama. For what?? The Universe Cackled

Thought I had life all figured out. Turns out, I was just giving the Universe something to laugh about. But plot twist—I’m still getting everything I want.

“In My Dreams”

So here’s the deal—I decided to augment my financial stature (yes, fancy words for “make some extra cash”) by helping my daughter with her business a few hours each day.

At first, I was bummed. I mean, I love writing for you—pouring my heart into words, hoping to light a fire under you to reclaim your dreams. This felt like a detour. A distraction. A slap in the face from the universe.

So, naturally, I stewed about it. For hours.
I got mad. Walked around the house like a woman on a mission to find the thing she lost—but the thing was peace of mind.
Took a long walk outside. Paced some more. Still mad.
Eventually, I gave up, went to bed angry.

Woke up defeated.

And then…a lightbulb moment. Thanks to another Substack post, I realized something huge:

👉🏼 I don’t have to choose between one or the other. I can still write. I can still help my daughter. Both things can exist at the same time.

I put myself through ALL THAT DRAMA for what?

Dang it, I got some loud and clear clarity about myself, my future, and how to get everything I want.

Game on, Universe. Let’s do this.

Now, What About You?

Are you putting off taking the next step in reclaiming your dream because it feels like you have to choose between one thing or another?

Maybe you don’t.

Step back. Get a wider view. Look at your situation from multiple angles.

You might be surprised. 🔥✨
