What Does Trusting the Universe Look Like?
Trusting the Universe means having faith that the Universe has your back. Think of it as an ally in your quest to manifest your goals and desires.
‘Trusting the Universe’ is a very broad statement so let’s break it down, which will help set the context for our list of quotes.
Belief in a Benevolent Universe
This involves the belief that the Universe is supportive, generous, and wants what’s best for us, including the successful manifestation of our ultimate dreams, goals and desires. Instead of stressing when things don’t seem to be going all that well, we have to keep the faith knowing that there’s a bigger plan at play.
Surrendering Control
It might seem counterintuitive, but achieving goals through manifestation requires letting go of control. I can see the project managers gasping in complete shock! So, while we’ve visualized the ultimate outcome, we can’t foresee or manage every part of the manifestation process.
The best analogy I’ve come across for this aspect of trusting the Universe is Roxie Nafousi’s book, “Manfest: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life”, where visualizing your desire is akin to putting your destination into Google Maps, and manifestation is the program that gets you to your destination. You trust it to tell you which roads to take or avoid, how to get you back on track if you’ve taken a wrong turn. You’re allowing the app to do a job for you. And in the same way, you’re surrendering to the Universe throughout the process of manifestation.
Embracing Uncertainty
It’s one thing to surrender but it must be done with the right frame of mind. And that means being comfortable with uncertainty. In other words, knowing that things will work out at the right time and in the right way, but accepting that uncertainly is a natural part of life, without sweating it.
Positive Mindset
Maintaining a positive outlook is a fundamental to achieving success with the Law of Attraction and manifestation. We must have faith that our efforts cultivate a positive mindset and consequently a higher vibration, will be rewarded by the Universe reflecting that positivity back to us.
Patience and Perseverance
Results can take time. Accept that manifesting some things will take longer than others. Trusting the Universe means not giving up hope even if results aren’t immediately visible and understanding that the Universe knows what timing is best.
Gratitude and Openness
Being open to receiving what the Universe provides and gratefully receiving those things are an important part of the trust. Manifestation is a journey and in its infinite wisdom, the Universe sprinkles the path with signs and synchronicities.
The Best Trusting the Universe Quotes (IMHO)
“This trust can be described as a ‘knowing feeling’. It is knowing that, even if you have no idea how it will happen, you just know that it will. It is knowing, without doubt, that the things you desire most are coming to you. It is this belief and unwavering faith that will ultimately enable you to call in whatever it is you want to manifest.” – Roxie Nafousi
“In every moment, the Universe is whispering to you. You’re constantly surrounded by signs, coincidences, and synchronicities, all aimed at propelling you in the direction of your destiny.” – Denise Linn

“Something miraculous happens when you let go and allow. You open up to an infinite field of possibilities. The moment I surrendered my desire to be a mother, I felt taken care of.

“It’s important to note that the Universe doesn’t care what kind of energetic vibration you send out. It doesn’t ‘care’ if you are a positive or negative person. It simply responds to what you offer.

You can manifest particular outcomes in your life simply by creating and leaning into vibrations that align with your desires.” – Jack Canfield

“The Universe provides abundantly when you’re in a state of gratefulness.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer

“Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it’s possible for you. And then close your eyes every day for several minutes, and visualize having what you already want, feeling the feelings of already having it.

Then go into your day and release it into the Universe and trust that the Universe will figure out how to manifest it.” – Jack Canfield

“Detachment is a state of mind where you make your choice and then stop infusing it with negative energy by worrying about it coming true. You sit back and trust the Universe to give you whatever it wants. Detachment takes you out of the cycle of giving your obstacles energy, which everyone does inadvertently. By genuinely not caring about outcomes and whether or not your wish will manifest, you encourage it to appear in your life. – Ryuu Shinohara

It’s almost as if it will come fall right on your lap. I know that I want to be champion.” – Jon Jones

“When you know that everything happens for the best, then everything that happens is okay with you.

“When you allow yourself to be influenced by good and happy thoughts, your life allows itself to be influenced by the wonders of the Universe.” – Annie Chopra
