“God will bless the work of your hands.” — Deuteronomy 28:12
Rejections, late nights, early mornings, sleepy eyes, and still somehow nothing seems to move in the direction of your goal. Sounds similar? You are not alone in this. Here are 4 signs The universe isn’t against you; it’s with you.
- You got rejected
In September 2025, just by 4 days, I missed an opportunity to shift to another city, and that opportunity could have changed my life. I was really disappointed because I wanted that shift badly. Even today, when sometimes that thought comes, I wish for that opportunity.
What happened after I missed an opportunity is that I am having more time for myself, as it’s a holiday season.
The time you get to spend with yourself is the biggest blessing that you can ever get.
If I shifted to another city, I wouldn’t have gotten that much time with myself.
Sometimes, rejection doesn’t mean “no.” It just means “not yet.” Consider that temporary rejection as a blessing. You might be feeling hurt when you get rejected, but after some time, you will be glad that rejection happened.
The universe wants to give you everything, but before that, it is preparing you so that you can hold whatever the universe is about to give you.
2. You feel disconnected
Once upon a time, you used to go out for partying, hanging around friends, and going to the same places and seeing the same people, and now all of a sudden you don’t feel like doing those things.
Old relations seem to fade away automatically. Friends abandoned you, and you never expected this from them.
You feel zoned out in crowded places; people you used to hang out with are now draining you. You love more peace and silence than crows and loud music.
Don’t confuse this with the sign of burnout or being antisocial; it’s just that you are growing in your journey, and the universe won’t give you peace in places and with people that are meant to hinder your growth.
The universe wants you to be in the places and with people that are truly meant for you.
3. You feel something you can’t explain
Oftentimes, there is a feeling that something big is about to happen. You can’t explain; you just know in your soul.
No matter what your mind or other people are saying, no matter what the current situation is, that inner feeling is more powerful than the outer reality.
The universe wants you to trust that feeling even when the outer reality is completely opposite.
4. You trust yourself more
You dream big, and you feel calm when dreaming because you trust yourself more.
Even if the goal seems too big and too far, you trust that you have the power to achieve your dreams, and yes, you do have the power to achieve your dreams. Because of this, you work for your goal, even when you don’t see results, because you trust yourself and the process, and you are open to the ways in which your dreams can come true.
Self-doubt & self-criticism are replaced by self-confidence & gratitude, and you feel more curious, more excited to live the life, and more in love with yourself.
Finally, the universe wants you to believe in yourself more than anything else.
Every rejection is a blessing.
Every no is not a no; it’s “not yet.”
Every redirection is taking you towards something much bigger than you can ever imagine.
One day you will realize that the universe is always with you, not against you.
