Ask Aunt B,

Dear Aunt B, What would you recommend for those of us who grow weary of the wait of the universe's timing, but our intuition tells us the wait is necessary?

Signed, Waiting on the timing


  

Dear Waiting, 

First, I want to assure you and other readers that you’re not doing anything wrong. If you’re in a season of waiting, it’s not because the Universe forgot you either. And it doesn't mean necessarily that you are out of alignment. Your intuition isn’t wrong. It is more likely because the path is still being prepared, and the people involved are as well. And yes, that includes you.

Spiritually speaking, waiting isn’t passive — it’s preparation. It is a pause, not a punishment, it’s a process, not a destination. You’re not benched, you’re becoming. This in-between space may look quiet, but deep work is happening under the surface. You’re being shaped, strengthened, and softened in the exact ways needed to hold what’s coming. So you are ready in all ways. Right down to having room in your closet for your next greatest Love, or time to travel for 6 months without worrying about the JOB. 

The thing that many people miss: it’s not just about your readiness. The boss you’re meant to work with might still be learning how to lead. The partner you’re meant to Love may still be learning how to receive your Love, or working with a therapist to heal from their ex. The reality you’re longing for requires every player to be in position, and not everyone moves at your speed. The time is a gift, but it may take a shift in your perspective to receive and use that gift to its fullest potential. Use this as an opportunity to see where you can prepare. It can be used as a journal or meditation prompt. When all else fails I like to use my preparation time to clean the house, the yard, take a class, volunteer, or even to start a new blog. 

When the moment finally does come — and it will — you’ll be so glad you utilized the wait. And when your moment comes? Step into the spotlight.

Trusting the timing with you. Aunt B
