Why The Universe Doesn’t Drop What We Want In Our Lap

“What you wish for doesn’t fall in your lap — it falls somewhere nearby, and you have to recognize it, stand up, and put in the time and work it takes to get it. 

This isn’t because the universe is cruel. It’s because the universe is smart. 

It has it’s own ‘cat-string’ theory and knows we don’t appreciate things that fall into our laps.” — Neil Strauss

I’ve been saying this to clients for years — prior to the recession, money fell from the sky and we all had laundry baskets to catch it.

Now, the money is still falling, but it’s swirling around in the wind and landing on the ground. We just need to bend over and pick it up.

And that takes work and determination. 

You know what your career or business needs — step out of your ‘fear zone’ and take the steps to get it. Nothing important will ever fall into our laps.
