Hey Divine Angel,
I’ve just returned from one of the most bizarre outback adventures that was hard, crazy, challenging, fun and left my 4wd and I covered head to foot in red dirt.
A few weeks ago I felt a strong desire for a 4wd outback adventure, I didn’t know how, the details, or when I just had the desire and said “divine universe bring me an adventure, please!”
I then let it go, and promptly forgot all about it till several days ago when I got a random phone call from my brother who runs a business supplying international ships with goods and services.
He said “Elle mate I’ve got a cargo ship from the Philippines who need food and water delivered to them and we have no other choice but to drive it out to them via the Central Arnhem Hwy (one of the world’s most remote and notorious roads for busting cars) it’s going to be over a 1000 kms and we have 2 days to get it to them. Can we use you to deliver it cause you’ve got truck and 4wd experience?” (In a previous life I used to be a remote truck driver and 4wd adventure enthusiast!).
And I thought “Yes! Wohoo! Here is my adventure! Thank you universe!” I was in!
Yet if anyone told me my little adventure would consist of:
• Driving 18hrs nonstop through bush fires, fog so thick you couldn’t see 1 cm in front of you.
• Avoiding wild pigs, donkeys, cows, and horses who’d run at your car, not away.
• Seeing a variety of smashed cars, trucks, and trailers – some even hanging from trees and wedged in creek beds – that reminded you constantly of the dangers the road held and left you praying anxiously to the road Gods that you wouldn’t end up like that as you drove over corrugations, ditches, razor-sharp rocks and creek beds that left your stomach in your mouth and teeth-rattling for days to come.
If I had known all this I probably would’ve reconsidered this little adventure especially when I found myself laying down in ankle-deep red bulldust at 2 am in the morning to change a shredded tire in eerily foggy (think serial killer movie scene) in a super remote, no reception at all location, I’ve seriously never felt so creeped out nor wanted to change a tire so fast in my life!
But on the bright side after 28hrs of no sleep, looking like a wild woman who’d painted herself red, I finally arrived at my destination at a remote marine shed with a Chris Hemsworth look alike (but this one had a cigarette in his mouth) behind the counter informing us I would now have to kit up in a fluro jumpsuit, hard hat and steel-capped boots to load all the food, water, and supplies onto a barge and sail for an hour to deliver the goods to the cargo ship.
Joy!
But somehow despite sweltering in the fluro jumpsuit, eyes hanging out of my head, feeling seasick, managed to finish the delivery and then head to a hotel room for a much-needed sleep!
Now you might be thinking Ellen that is not a fun adventure, why the hell would you desire something like that?
And the truth be told I love and thrive on challenges and crazy adventures, they light me up with renewed energy, excitement, and enthusiasm, and if my bro called me again tomorrow and asked me to do that trip again I would more than likely say yes! I am in!
But the reason I wanted to share this story with you is to show how randomly and bizarrely the Universe can deliver your desires.
When you desire something your job isn’t to work out the how, your job is to ask for it, feel as if it’s already done, set it and forget it, and then get on with your day, and leave it to the Universe to work out the how, who, and when.
There is no way my logical mind could’ve imagined or thought of a Greek Shipping company who owned a Filipino Cargo ship that desperately needed supplies would contact my brother – the only one crazy enough to say yes to this job as all other companies said it couldn’t be done – who would then ask his adventure-seeking sister to help out.
My brother jokingly asked me the other day if this crazy hard-arse job all conspired just so I could have my little adventure. Who knows but I am sure glad it did.
I’ve found the Universe always delivers you your desires in the most unexpected, bizarre, and random ways that are perfect just for you but we prevent ourselves from receiving our desires from the Universe when we get caught up in the “how!” and focusing on the current conditions and all the cant’s.
The Universe has infinite and often miraculous ways to bring you your desires, and you just need to let it unfold and come to you without expectations or pressures on how it should look or be.
And when the Universe does deliver you something you don’t want, you can always say “no thanks, I’d love better please.” Then it will conspire to bring you something else better suited.
So what do you desire to create, manifest and experience?
And it doesn’t have to be a stress-inducing, teeth-rattling outback adventure!
Ask for it, feel as if it’s already done, set it and forget it and then watch how it manifests itself in your life down the road.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
All My Love & Infinite Abundance,
Ellen Sirena xoxo
