Cosmic Jobs

It took me a long time to realise and accept this but everyone, everything and every occurrence in and around your life - the great, the good, the bad, and the ugly - they’re all doing their cosmic jobs.

I don’t know if the term exists, but that’s what I call it: cosmic jobs. It’s like an intentional or unintentional direction, redirection or misdirection in the journey of your life. It’s the universe’s way of nudging you, sometimes gently, sometimes with a hard shove, towards where you need to be.

I stand here today as a product of many cosmic jobs; and the epiphany hit me one random hour on a random day this week…I looked at my life and felt this need to just laugh. I realised I was at a point where I was so happy with where I was and who I had become and I traced the links of every single occurrence in my life that brought me to this very moment.

I’ll try and share some as I write this letter.

See, all I’m trying to say is people around you, whether they’re good or bad, are doing their cosmic jobs in the fulfilment of your purpose, your path, and your destiny. Experiences in your life, events and occasions - whether beautiful or disastrous - did their cosmic job to bring you to where you are today, to this mindset you have, to your personality, to your growth, to the way you see the world, the way you behave, to your story, and to this peculiar understanding that YOU have of life.

It’s like a cosmic dance, where each person and experience you encounter is performing their unique role in your story. From the moment you’re born, this intricate choreography begins:

💭My parents did their cosmic job to get me on this path, regardless of how I feel they raised me.

💭All the disappointments, the hurt and the pain I felt, people were doing their cosmic jobs to ignite something in me that would keep me on my path to purpose.

It’s easy to resent life’s difficulties, but what if we viewed them as catalysts for growth?

💭Feeling neglected did its cosmic job in making me love isolation.

💭Being bullied did its cosmic job… at least I didn’t peak in high school…lol

💭Going through so many painful times in my life did its cosmic job of making me super empathetic. I see someone’s pain, and loneliness, and their need to have an authentic conversation/connection even though I am a passing stranger.

💭Procrastinating until I felt I had wasted my potential gave me a wave of anger and a fire that changed me to what I see today. I feel now like I am running against time and I have to catch up, it’s made me consistent, to show up every day and give 1000% of myself.

💭Feeling like an “ugly teenager” did its cosmic job and gave me a sense of humour. I had to have depth and a personality.

The Alchemy of Experience

Life’s challenges aren’t just obstacles; they’re opportunities for transformation:

💭Failure did its cosmic job when I had to start my agency from scratch using everything I learned from every single mistake. Now, I run a creative agency making the type of money I could never imagine making.

💭Rock Bottom did its cosmic job and moulded me into something I’ve never seen before.

💭Experiencing loss did its cosmic job and woke something in me that made me value love and family.

💭Wrong friends did their cosmic job and allowed me to see what friendship and loyalty truly meant.

💭The bad days did their cosmic job in teaching me resilience, finding the good in life and how to be present regardless.

As we navigate life, it becomes clear that there’s a greater force at work:

The universe sends people, things, experiences, and occasions to do its cosmic job, to direct you, redirect you. To give you perspective or change your perspective.

You can fight the universe all you want, you’re just slowing down the process of acceptance.

And acceptance brings the peace, self-love, joy and growth you’re looking for.

It gifts you with a deadly state of mind that alchemizes, and transforms anything that is given to you.

To understand that everything has a language, a mission, and a purpose.

It took me years to get here, and I hope I can help you reach there faster.

I fought the world. I thought I could change it by resisting it. I resisted everything. I thought I was protecting myself, but I was only limiting myself.

But like this article says, that in itself, was doing its cosmic job because it makes the realization so powerful that I have to share it with you, with the world. So maybe I am doing my cosmic job for someone as well… right now

A Message to My Younger Self

If only she could see me now. I would give her a big hug. She would be so in awe of me! That’s how I know I’ve done her proud. I would tell her that the lines are falling for her in perfect places and she doesn’t even know it. That all of the universe is conspiring in her favour across multiple timelines, all for her! She just can’t see it yet. I would tell her to enjoy the journey. The good and the bad. She cannot see it, and she may not believe it, but everything is working out for her good. It’s a tough climb…but the trail she leaves behind would be the route others use to follow. And she…just as she is…is perfect.

I’ve come to understand that life is a fantastic journey. The whole point of life is to know that you are on a trip and enjoy the hell out of it. But I do not mean in a hedonistic way, I mean ride it out, the good and the bad and still know that it is all part of the plan and it will all work out for you. And if it doesn’t, that’s the trip you got on… still, enjoy it, that’s how you lay on your deathbed and smile.

Doing your cosmic job means total acceptance of who you are, the circumstances of your story, the people around you and your day-to-day experiences. It is doing whatever the hell you want, and being okay with it.

You don’t have to follow the path laid out in front of you, you can find your own.

By doing so, you are doing the will of the universe and someone somewhere is hoping you live that way!

I am here trying to find mine and I think I am finding my purpose on this earth. To push people to find their own paths by breaking free from the chains, moulds, limitations and expectations people have placed on them. And to BE!

So, by virtue of the beauty of cosmic jobs, I eat my losses, my mistakes and not knowing everything for breakfast. I enjoy the bad times as much as I enjoy the good times. I embrace my childhood traumas, traumatic experiences, disasters, bad experiences, mess-ups and every time I have stumbled because I am of the strongest opinion that these instances are the distinguishing factors to your unique makeup.

That is the cocktail that makes your special personality DNA. That is what made you so peculiar and special…why would you deny yourself that amazing drink?

As you reflect on your own life’s journey, consider the cosmic jobs that have shaped you. Embrace the challenges, celebrate the victories, and recognize that every experience – good or bad – is contributing to your unique story. By accepting and learning from each moment, you’re not just living; you’re fulfilling your cosmic purpose and inspiring others along the way.

I adore you and have a wonderful life! ✨✨
