There is a difference between being determined and and being hard-headed. A certain amount of determination is needed to achieve our goals and overcome obstacles. But when we try to manifest things at all costs, and force them into being, we become hard-headed. It’s best at these times to let go of the ego and listen. The Universe naturally flows with grace and ease. Our lives, when we are on the right path, flow with equal grace and ease. In the course of trying to achieve something, if you find yourself running into obstacle after obstacle, let go of the idea in your head of how you want it to be, and instead listen to the Universe tell you how it’s supposed to be.
