Don't Be a Cosmic Doormat: The Art of Spiritual Jiu-Jitsu!

In partnership with

Are you tired of playing whack-a-mole with your desires? Do you feel like the universe is giving you the cosmic equivalent of a shoulder shrug every time you whisper a wish? If your dreams are consistently arriving DOA (Dead On Arrival) or worse, morphing into their evil twins, then lean in, because Florence Scovel Shinn, that delightful spiritual trailblazer, has penned a secret weapon for you in her timeless classic, The Game of Life. And trust me, the more you read these little missives, the more your success muscles will flex, expanding your capacity for good until increase becomes your natural state.

🥊 The Problem of Cosmic Resistance

You see, many folks, bless their earnest hearts, are like spiritual Sisyphus, perpetually pushing their boulder of desire uphill, only to have it roll back down, often with a mischievous giggle. Why? Because they're caught in the web of resistance. It’s a bit like trying to drive a car with one foot on the accelerator and the other slamming the brakes. You'll get nowhere fast, and probably burn out your cosmic transmission in the process.

Shinn, with the precision of a master chef, reveals that what you resist, persists. It’s the universe’s most stubborn roommate, always showing up uninvited and making a mess. Want money but secretly believe it's the root of all evil? Congratulations, you've just installed a financial force field around yourself. Crave love but constantly replay every past heartbreak like a broken record? You’re essentially telling the universe, "No, really, I'm good with the emotional rerun!"

✨ Spiritual Alchemy: Baptize It Success!

This isn't about being a spiritual punching bag. Oh no, my friend. This is about spiritual jiu-jitsu. It's about taking the energy of the opposing force and using it to your advantage. Shinn's brilliant, almost laughably simple, solution? Baptize your failures as successes!

Imagine that! Your car breaks down? "I baptize thee, car breakdown, SUCCESS!" Your boss gives you a dressing down? "I baptize thee, boss's lecture, SUCCESS!" It’s like telling the universe, "Is that all you got? Bring it on, I’m turning this lemon into a limousine!" This isn't denial; it's divine alchemy. It's a fundamental shift in perspective that transmutes leaden adversity into golden opportunity. The more you truly grasp this, the more you’ll discover an irresistible magnetism for all things good.

Consider the woman who kept attracting poverty because she resisted a man who talked lack. When she finally blessed him and the situation, declaring it "success," the universe, like a well-trained butler, rearranged itself. The man moved, and a new connection brought her thousands. It’s like a spiritual game of musical chairs, and when you stop resisting, the perfect seat opens up for you.

🪞 The Living Mirror Principle

And here’s another gem: life is a mirror. If you’re surrounded by liars, look in the mirror, my friend. Not to condemn, but to understand. The universe is merely reflecting your own subconscious patterns back to you, often with the subtlety of a silent film, so you don't even realize you're the star of your own production. This isn't about blaming yourself; it's about empowering yourself. By changing your inner world, you literally transform your outer landscape.

So, what are you resisting today? That nagging health issue? That strained relationship? That financial squeeze? Stop fighting it. Stop running from it. Instead, face it, bless it, and declare it a success. See it not as an adversary, but as a stepping stone. Because as you read and integrate these truths, you’ll find that every aspect of your life begins to reflect an undeniable impression of increase, like ripples expanding endlessly from a single drop of wisdom.

What is one thing you have been resisting that you are now ready to bless as a success?
