When we reach a state of spiritual understanding we often have the philosophy that the Universe will provide for us. Maybe you receive the message that ‘if I build it the people will come’ or ‘the world needs my book right now’ and so on… Being spiritual many of us live by the assumption that ‘the Universe will provide and bring people to me’ etc… yep, I used to live like that and I can tell you – IT NEVER WORKED for me!!
I have been the driving force behind Temple of Balance since its conception in early 2005 and it has not always been easy to do it full time and pay my daily bills. For several years I was running on the philosophy that this was my life’s purpose so the Universe will bring people to me so I will just stay in my comfort zone and keep doing what I am doing. In early 2011 I had a change in perception which changed my life. I realised that I am not being realistic to the fact that people can’t ‘find’ something they don’t know anything about. So I had to step up my game and this is when my life changed…
When you hide behind the Universe or maybe other things, you are just making excuses to stay in your comfort zone. It’s like when I read a sign that said ‘God hates heavy metal music’ – it makes me want to ask the person ‘where did ‘God’ leave this note, or maybe he called you at home?’ Religion is just one of the massive excuses that many people deal with, but those of us who call ourselves spiritual and not religious, can at times fall under the same illusion. What do you hide behind? Are you afraid of failure, ridicule, hurt or someone not liking your craft?
It takes time to build your confidence to step out and step up. Depending on what it is you are doing behind those closed doors or behind the excuse of things like the ‘Universe or God’… what can you do to firstly be real about what you are doing, and then to start building your self-confidence?
I have been really focused on this concept of ‘stepping out’ in these past months which is why I wrote a book about it too, and it is becoming easier and easier. What I pursued yesterday I wouldn’t have even dreamed about taking action on a month ago. When you get out there, introduce yourself to people, share and don’t play hide and seek with the Universe… what happens?
You will have people finding you, you will have a growing amount of opportunities that you can choose from, and you start to rapidly build momentum for your teachings and for your life. You need to make the effort, to stop the excuses and to find the courage to work with the Universe, not wait for the Universe!
Trust in the Universe, but firstly TRUST IN YOUR SELF!!!

Thank you so much for this post
Dear Lee-Anne Peters,
Thank you so much for this post. I can feel the good intentions in which it was written. There are so many things that you wrote that are comforting and encouraging, especially your story of how you broke through your own resistance.
I find, that with the love energies pouring in, my own levels of resistance are rising. I am having much more clarity about what you call excuses. It's scary to see how many excuses I have made and still continue to make, but I am greatly comforted by my ability to use the tools of the angels (the violent flames and so forth) to burn through my resistance. Finally, I can see now what I am fighting and I know what to do. It's the clarity that is helping.
For so many years, I could see how to help others, but not myself. So often these days, I find myself saying, "I need a mirror. I need a mirror." What I am receiving through these increased energies are repeated messages from different sources. These are my reflections. I don't like the messages so my resistance to them is very high, but I know that I must keep applying my tools so that I can break through the resistance. I am comforted in knowing that this breakthrough is occurring because I am highly aware of what I am doing and why I am doing it.
I want to say something to you and to others whose ego, like mine, may have some resistance to what you are trying to teach. We are all being given a great amount of unconditional love and grace. Some of us need to process our evolution in baby steps at first. I am learning to give myself permission to do this without fear that I will run out of time. I am comforted by the fact that we are being given so much unconditional love and grace.
As I read your message, Lee-Anne, I thought about something that I really want to do, but I haven't done it because I thought it was too trivial and that I wouldn't be able to do it right anyway, but there was this message from an entity named Peter (Links to you last name -- yeah, a connection). Anyway, this message was so funny and fun-filled that I thought maybe what I want to do has its place. Maybe, I'm hearing your words, Lee-Anne, at the right time. Maybe, I can finally believe that I have all the help I need to do what I want to do. Maybe excuses aren't excuses, but a lack of belief dashed with just a sprinkle of hope that things could be the way you want them to be. Maybe, it's like what Abraham of Abraham-Hicks says, things happen when you begin to believe and it is that belief that frees you from excuses and resistance.
I am deeply grateful for your message and for all of the messages on this site that constantly relay how much we are loved unconditionally.
May you continue in your success.
