That\u2019s how it goes, especially when you\u2019re asking for what\u2019s best for your highest good. When something you want badly falls through or has glitches, do you get angry, frustrated, disappointed or lose faith? Next time try acceptance in faith instead! I used to get those negative emotions and suffered from them.<\/p>\n<p>Now I just say, \u201cIt\u2019s for the best.\u201d Blessedly, I actually believe it so it\u2019s said with trust.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve written in other posts about how everything happens for a reason. You can fight that or work with it. The latter brings you peace and gives you the best chance of attracting what you need at the right time. For example, a client sold her house. She was supposed to move the day before the closing and was all set when the closing got postponed for 10 days. She flipped out. When I told her \u201cIt\u2019s for the best\u201d and she acted like I had two heads.<\/p>\n<p>She had to reschedule to movers and alter her arrangements for the apartment she was moving to. What a pain! She wondered how she could say, \u201cIt\u2019s for the best?\u201d I got an argument. But I insisted she do her best to say it like she meant it. The day she was originally supposed to move, she called. It seems that a major storm came through her area that day. If the closing hadn\u2019t been postponed, she\u2019d have been moving in the storm and her stuff would have gotten soaked. She conceded, it really was for the best!<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t know what\u2019s coming down the road, but the Universe does. The more you trust, the more you can know that it\u2019s okay when things don\u2019t go smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>Aclient called me one morning. She was very upset. Her baby sitter was an hour late so she\u2019d be late for work. I told he to say, \u201cIt\u2019s for the best.\u201d And believe it. It was for the best. She was headed to the World Trade Center on 9\/11! Because her sitter was late, she avoided being caught in the building collapse, which she was grateful for..<\/p>\n<p>My faith is strong enough to go with the flow of what happens instead of getting upset. Just yesterday I was running late and ran to catch the local subway train. The doors closed as I got there. At first I was mad. Thirty seconds sooner and I\u2019d have made it! Then I remembered, \u201cIt was for the best.\u201d I calmed down and another train pulled in 3 minutes later. It went one stop, where I had to change for the express train. As we pulled in to the station, I was surprised that we were on the express track. They switched my local to be the express I needed.<\/p>\n<p>I had a seat and people from the train before me got on and had to stand! Missing the first train was for the best!<\/p>\n<p>Saying, \u201cIt\u2019s for the best,\u201d puts you in positive spirits. It tells the Universe that you trust that you\u2019ll get what you need in the right time.<\/p>\n<p>See all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/2009\/01\/Law-of-Attraction-in-Action-Series.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>HERE.<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n************<\/p>\n<p>Join <a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Self-Love Movement\u2122!<\/strong><\/a> Take the <a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\/the-pledge\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>31 Days of Self-Love Commitment<\/strong><\/a>&#8212;<strong>\u201cI commit to do my best to do something loving for myself, however big or small, for <strong><strong>the next 31 days<\/strong>.<\/strong>\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0and get my book, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\/the-book\" target=\"_blank\">How Do I Love Me?

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start &amp; Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5618"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5618\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5619,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5618\/revisions\/5619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
