A Lesson In Patience: Let Go and Trust the Universe

When I returned from India last spring, with my YTT certification in hand, I excitedly created my LLC through Legal Zoom. In June they applied for my EIN from the IRS. For reasons still unknown to me, it wasn't issued or received. I wasn't really teaching yet, so it wasn't a big deal. Then in November, I started looking for space to rent to call my studio and start teaching in my community. I found the place; I signed the lease; I set up my website. And then I reapplied for my EIN. That was mid-December. I just got my EIN today! What I came to learn was that I couldn't accept payments online without a business checking account and an EIN, I couldn't get the checking account without the EIN. I was stuck in a "cash only" situation for the past month. Some of you kind patrons experienced that and were a part of that bumpy ride with me, thank you. There was just nothing I could do. At one point, my website was still set up to allow customers to pay online, even though I couldn't receive the payment on my side. One person paid this way, and it set a clock in motion, to where if I didn't connect a business checking account within 30 days, they were going to either shut down my website all together, or permanently disable my ability to receive online payments.

For this time period, I continued to give my struggles to God and the Arch Angels, trusting that they were going to help me with this, and I didn't need to worry. While I did have just a couple of rough days stressing about it, overall I maintained my trust, and didn't worry. I didn't know where it was going to lead, but they had said it was time to jump, it was time to take the leap, and they would catch me. So here I am, fully jumping, fully trusting, and it's all coming to fruition. Let go, and trust that the Universe has you. Maybe you don't know where the situation will lead, but if you maintain faith, speaking life into the situation, letting go of worry, you will only go somewhere good.
