You don’t order the wrong meal—So why ask the universe for what you don’t want?

Imagine sitting down at your favourite restaurant.

Your stomach is growling, ready to order a meal you love.

Now, imagine the waiter arrives and you order something you do NOT want.

Strange, right?

But most people do this every day.

They ask the universe (God / Higher Intelligence / Nature) what they do NOT want. 

• “I do not want this health issue”

• “I do not want this painful relationship”

• “I do not want these financial problems”

Instead, ask for what you want. 

• “I am healthy and healed”

• “I have a beautiful relationship”

• “I am wealthy and financially free”

When you place an order, do you do it with a sad and dull face? 

No. 

You are happy and excited that you will soon get to relish your favourite dish.

So why do so many of us ask with a lower state of mind?

The ‘Om Jai Jagadish Hare’ Aarti conveys this very beautifully:

It means:

“Whoever meditates on you with a mind free of sorrow will receive your blessings.”

The universe understands feelings and vibrations.

This concept is something Sneh Desai (one of India’s top life and business coaches), often highlights when he says:

“The universe does not give. It returns.”

It is the law of resonance, which states:

It is one of the main principles the universe functions on.

When you ask, feel as if you have received it.

Ask with gratitude and fullness.

After you place the order, do you check with the waiter every 2 minutes?

No.

You know that each dish takes a certain time to prepare.

But why are most people feverish about what they have asked the universe for?

Know that it is on the way.

Lastly, imagine that you place an order for dish A. 

Two minutes later…

you call the waiter, cancel dish A and order dish B.

Five minutes later…

you call the waiter again, cancel dish B and order dish C.

You will confuse the waiter and delay the process.

Be clear on what you want.

Most people do not get what they want in life…

because they do not know what exactly they want.

They do not have clarity about who they are.

They do not have a long-term vision in life.

No wonder life feels so misaligned.

As Vishen Lakhiani, the founder of Mindvalley, explains, 

“The Universe doesn’t give you what you want; it gives you who you are.” 

It is about shifting your identity on a fundamental level.

Does this come easy?

No.

It requires you to prioritise personal growth as your #1 goal in life.

It requires you to take consistent strategic action.

It requires you to work on your mindset and skills.

When you do that, everything else in your life grows with you.

Choose one:

• The pain of living someone else’s life

• The pain of creating your own path

Summary:

1. Ask for what you want (the end outcome)

2. Ask with gratitude and fullness. Feel as if you’ve already received it.

3. Be clear. Don’t make frequent changes in what you ask for.

4. Know that it is on the way.

5. Prioritize personal growth as your #1 goal in life.

In short, the universe returns what you ask for, feel, and believe with certainty. Make sure you’re asking with clarity and gratitude.

That’s all for this letter.

Thank you for reading.

Until next week,
