"What's meant for you will find you, but you still have to show up."
Tired of manifestation advice that basically amounts to "sit on your couch and visualize your dreams into existence"? There's a missing piece that no one talks about.
The universe operates like a delivery service, but it can't drop off packages to an empty address. You have to be present, available, and actively participating in your own life for opportunities to find you.
"What's meant for you will find you" isn't an excuse to be passive. It's not permission to wait around hoping things will magically appear without effort. It's a reminder that when you consistently show up, put yourself out there, and take aligned action, the right opportunities have a way of presenting themselves.
Showing up doesn't mean forcing outcomes or controlling every detail. It means being present for your own life. It means saying yes to invitations, applying for opportunities you want, having conversations with new people, learning skills that excite you, and staying open to possibilities you hadn't considered.
The person who gets the dream job isn't just lucky - they applied, networked, improved their skills, and positioned themselves where opportunities could find them. The person who meets their ideal partner didn't just manifest them - they showed up to social events, dating apps, or activities where connection was possible.
Your destiny needs your participation. The universe is ready to conspire in your favor, but you have to meet it halfway.
Identify where you're waiting vs. participating. Look at areas where you want change but haven't taken concrete action. What's one step you could take to "show up" more actively?
Create opportunities for serendipity. Put yourself in situations where good things can find you. Network, explore, try new activities, engage with communities that align with your interests.
Balance faith with action. Trust that what's meant for you will come, but don't use that trust as an excuse to avoid doing the work. Faith and action work together, not against each other.
