Adopting Powerful ‘Universe Conspires in Helping You’ Mindsetme

When you have a clear intention or desire and take action towards it, the universe aligns in mysterious ways to support you in achieving your goals or fulfilling your wishes.

Dear Spirited Earthling,

"When you want something, the entire universe conspires to help you achieve it."

Paulo Coelho’s famous line from The Alchemist sounds like magic, and in a way it is. But it’s not the kind of magic where you wave a wand and with a little Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo your dreams appear. It’s the kind of magic that happens when you plant a seed: you water it, give it sunlight, and trust the soil and seed to do its invisible work.

Living with the mindset that the universe is your ally changes everything. It can soften your edges, help you breathe through disappointments, and to stand up after falling. This is because living with the mindset that everything works out for you opens your heart and mind to the beauty of life. You are flowing with life because you know that what is meant for you finds you.

So why does this mindset feel so hard to adopt or embody? And how can you practise it without slipping into passive waiting or toxic positivity?

The Universe is Your Most Loyal Companion (and Here’s How to Speak its Language)

Trusting the universe and believing it is conspiring to help you is like working with it like a trusted friend. Or even better, think of the universe as your most loyal companion (your dog, cat, or other family pet – and if you don’t have one, think of ones you do know).

A dog doesn’t question or overanalyse whether you are worthy or deserving of love, they respond to your energy:

• If you throw a ball and your dog brings it back to receive a treat, they will keep bringing balls back.

• If you sometimes offer scraps from the table, they learn to beg every time you eat. If you punish them for begging, they are confused but hope for the food, so continue to stand by.

When it comes to pets, you need to be consistent in your messaging to avoid confusion. The universe works in the same way. You cannot hope your dreams (balls) will be brought to you if you never throw any. The more you throw, the better you become at throwing. The more your dog fetches, the faster and better they become at fetching and bringing them back.

The universe works the same way as your dog. It looks to your actions and behaviours as indicators of what you want. That is to say, the universe mirrors your habits (actions). And you, you are a reflection of your habits, not your hopes and dreams:

• You might dream of writing a novel, but if you spend evenings scrolling instead of writing, the universe hears: She prefers distraction.

• You might pray for financial freedom, but if you complain about money while ignoring your savings, the universe whispers back: He enjoys lack.

This isn’t punishment. It’s loyalty. The universe assumes you want what you consistently choose.

How to Co-Create with the Universe

Each of you have a role in this friendship. After all, friendship is a two-way street.

1. Your Role: Clarity and Action

Vague wishes get vague results.

• I want to be happy is like telling your dog, "Fetch!" without throwing anything. Eventually, it learns to stop looking for a ball.

• I want a creative job near the ocean where I feel alive is like tossing a bright red ball into the waves. Your dog knows where to go and which balls you want.

Try this: Write down one desire as if explaining it to a golden retriever: simple, sensory, and specific.

I want to feel the sun on my face during work breaks, like I’m on a seaside balcony.

Then take one tiny action that feels aligned:

• Research remote jobs in coastal towns.

• Sketch that balcony in your journal.

2. The Universe’s Role: Guidance and Mystery

Ever had a cat bring you a "gift" you didn’t ask for? A leaf. A sock. A… half-alive, half-eaten thing. The universe delivers the same way.

Look for these paw prints or gifts of divine timing:

• Synchronicities: You dream of writing a book, then bump into a stranger who mentions a writing retreat.

• Obstacles: You miss a flight, only to meet someone at the airport who becomes a mentor.

• Random urges: A sudden nudge to call an old friend, who just happened to have heard of a job you’d love.

Try this: Keep a Divine Whispers journal, notepad next to your bed, or note in the Notes app to note patterns like:

• Repeating numbers (11:11, 333)

• "Chance" encounters

• Ideas that hit you mid-shower or just before bed

"Do the work as though it were given to you by the universe itself - because it was." ~ Michael A. Singer

What to Do When It Feels Like the Universe Isn’t Listening

Even the closest friends and soulmates miscommunicate. When the universe seems silent, ask yourself if it’s the universe or you who isn’t listening:

1. Check Your Energy

Are you acting from fear (thoughts like this will never work) or faith (thoughts like I’m open to surprises)? Pets flee and avoid tension, and magic does too.

2. Audit Your Actions

Have you been taking the opportunities presented, or have you ignored them? Been too scared to take them?

• You won’t become financially free if you never save.

• You won’t become a runner if you never run.

• You won’t become healthier if you aren’t changing your lifestyle.

• You won’t find love if never swipe / mingle / say yes.

The universe adores momentum, not martyrdom.

3. Trust the Detours

Rejections, delays, and detours aren’t proof the universe abandoned you - they’re redirections. Trust the detours. The universe’s no often means:

• Not this way (protection)

• Not yet (timing)

• I have something better (upgrade)

Ask what this obstacle is teaching you (it could help you pass another in the future or help someone else pass it who is able to help you with something). A blocked path doesn’t have to be a dooming dead end, it’s a sign to pivot. When you don’t get the job, say thanks for leading me to a better one. When you miss the bus, say thanks for protecting you. You will get better at understanding detours and synchronicities the more you listen to the universe.

Your Invitation to Adopt the Powerful Universe Conspires in Helping You Mindset

The universe isn’t some sort of genie, it’s your oldest friend and most loyal companion. It knows your heart better than you do, but won’t override your free will. Start making time for the things that are important to you. Show the universe where your interest lies by channelling energy here.  

So today:

1. Be clear. Say what you want like you’re ordering coffee: I’ll take joy, with a side of adventure, topped with financial ease. Find a peaceful place and think about what you want to achieve (you can meditate and journal at your home altar or in nature). Create a vision board of your intention or desire.

2. Be consistent. Show up like you’re feeding a beloved pet – daily, with devotion. Learn to habit stack so you can show up with actions aligned with your goal and purpose.

3. Be open. Let the universe surprise you with its version of a "gift." (Even if it looks like a dead mouse at first). Trust that there is a reason you’re being taken down this path. Say affirmations for surrender and trusting in divine timing.

You’re already co-creating. Every choice. Every thought. Every I’ll try again tomorrow. The universe is always conspiring, not just for you, but with you. Trusting the process and adopting this powerful mindset doesn’t strip you of your personal agency – you can always choose a different ball, and reward a different gift.

When you release the need to micromanage outcomes, you create space for miracles. Watch how the unseen hands of grace guide you, often in ways more profound than you could’ve planned. You will feel less stress and anxiety when you focus on what you can do. You will feel more at peace when you believe the universe is taking care of things outside what you can do and control. Not only that, but you will feel resilient when you receive rejections and challenges because you know you are being redirected to something better and these are simply opportunities for growth and learning.
