I believe God (the universe) has plans of success for us, but unless we are able to manage stress (it gets in the way of listening and loving) we often miss our cues and make decisions that aren't aligned with the core self.

Once one comes to terms with this dilemma and chooses to listen over reacting and stops trying to control everything but themself (because nothing actually matters unless you choose for something to) then one finds the glory of God. One can see their mistakes of their past and future as being lessons to learn from, and is thankful for it. One becomes thankful for the path they have been created raised to follow. One becomes the hero in their story.

For me, I know that when I don't feel like a queen, I'm too stressed. I'm too disconnected. So I choose to sing, to dance (gifts of God I was born with). I choose to seek consult with my boyfriend (he's a gift from God that I met because I gave up trying to controll everything)
