Ever have a song find you at exactly the right moment? 🎵✨
Today I felt drawn to listen to one of my childhood favorites, "Four" by Blues Traveler. I got the CD over 30 years ago. When the song "Just Wait" began, I started singing along exactly how I always did.
The strange part?
It's probably been 20 years since I listened to it... and somehow I still remembered every word.
Then the song ended and I suddenly thought:
"Wait... what is this song even about? Why have I never actually LISTENED to it?"
So I played it again.
And this time, what I heard didn't feel like a song.
It felt like a letter.
Maybe from the Universe.
Maybe from my higher self.
Maybe from my spirit guides.
And honestly... I think your higher self may want you to hear it too.
Because for years, I thought the message was a love song from the lead singer to a woman in his life:
Just wait and it will come. If you think I don't love you well then you're just wrong...
But listening today... that's not what I heard.
What I heard was:
Trust.
Trust that you don't have to be everything for everyone all the time.
Trust that you don't have to force every door open with your bare hands.
Trust that things can unfold exactly as they are meant to when you follow your intuition.
Trust that the divine has got your back and that you are always loved and protected.
Trust yourself enough to love yourself with radical acceptance.
A huge theme in my life has been learning divine timing.
He sings, "Just wait, and it will come."
And now what I hear is excitement.
Excitement for the unfolding.
Excitement for what's here and now.
Because life has a way of surprising you in the most beautiful, unexpected ways when you begin expecting magic instead of bracing for impact. 🌈✨
For years I lived in push mode.
Push harder.
Work longer.
Be faster.
Be stronger.
Push. Push. Push.
Until one day my higher self basically said:
"What the f** are you doing? No more of this."*
So I've been teaching myself a different way to live.
And one line in that song absolutely cracked me open:
"Time is the beauty of the road being long."
Whew.
Because suddenly I saw time differently.
Maybe the road being long isn't the problem.
Maybe that's where the beauty is.
Maybe if life happened all at once, we would never get to witness the unfolding.
We wouldn't get to become. We don't need to get "there" as fast as possible to find success.
We wouldn't get to see growth, healing, learning, or the strange beautiful ways life changes us.
For years I said I wanted to create and succeed only from joy and inspiration, not fear, pain, or suffering.
But something shifted today.
I don't think I want a life with no pain.
Not because pain feels good.
But because some of the deepest parts of me were born there.
Some of my greatest growth came through the hard seasons that felt like they would never end.
Some of my greatest becoming happened because of the very things I wanted to escape.
And now instead of saying:
"Please let this end..."
Part of me says:
"Thank you for showing me this. Thank you for making me feel alive. Thank you for showing me who I am."
Because even the hard parts belong.
And at the risk of sounding too cliche...
The road itself is the gift.
And maybe... this song didn't arrive twenty years late.
Maybe it arrived exactly on time. 🌈✨
PS: If this message was meant for you too, go listen. Sing it loud. Let it sink into your bones.
