The Ego and the Divine

When I was little you had the traditional options for careers. The options were teacher, firefighter, police man, super hero (one of my favorites), and writer and so on. No one ever told me that I could be a spiritual teacher or life coach. It had never occurred to me that these were even options. These types of careers don't even get mentioned when I became an adult. I suppose it's because they may seem kind of foofoo or ridiculous. Now I know that this is not the case because this is what I believe that I have been called to do. Very recently I had decided to attend the University of Sedona/University of Metaphysics. I gave it up to the Divine. They are offering a scholarship type thing to help students pay for the programs. I emailed the school and told them my situation with money, mainly telling them of my interest in the program, but I wouldn't have the money to enroll before the deadline. I told the Divine that if I am meant to do this work then they would email me back saying that they would extend the deadline for me. Needless to say, I received an email from the school this morning, before noon, that they would extend the deadline for me to enroll. I was so thrilled when I received the news. I honestly thought that they wouldn't when I sent the email the previous evening. I'm pleased to say that I was wrong.
I did the same with a job that I got recently. I was trying to find a job that was close to my home because of the lack of transportation. I had several options and I received an offer that was very close to my home just in time because my transportation to my other job was no longer available. I had given the decision up to the Divine and received the answer. I just asked what would be best for me.
I believe what happened was that I let go of my ego long enough for the opportunity to come to me. I accepted what would happen while at the same time remaining positive that the Divine would provide the best for me.
Here I am again giving it up to the Divine in helping me decide what my life's purpose is. I honestly don't know, but I'm not going to get in my own way. I'm just going to work hard and enjoy life. I suppose the expression would be "Going with the flow." I have never been very good at going with the flow, but I'm getting better because I believe that if I just let things flow and accept what is and what I am, than I am much better off. I'm not fighting whatever my life's purpose is, I'm accepting it whatever it may be and moving forward.
I urge anyone who reads this to try and incorporate this mentality because it really works. Trying to figure out where the ego will take you will only leave you even more confused. I know this from personal experience. I do not regret my experiences because I believe that I will have some use for them in the future. Giving it up to the Divine, be it God, Goddess, or whoever you believe the Divine to be, will lead you in the right direction. Being open to the possibilities will help you recognize the opportunities that are presented to you.
In Love and Respect,
Rachel
