Searching turtles through tropical forest
I am constantly amazed by how the Universe operates – in its own space and at the perfect timing. Things seem to show up when we least expect them, but when they do, it feels like the exact moment they were always meant to.
My turtle adventure in Malaysia was a perfect example. During my stay in Penang, I came across this special trip: hiking through a tropical forest to learn more about turtles.
Now, turtles have been on my list for some time, so when I saw the opportunity, I jumped on it without a second thought.
Surprise was no surprise
The excitement carried me through the trek of tropical forest, even though I was sweaty, hot, and exhausted.
But to my surprise, when I finally reached the destination, there were no turtles! Except one!
You can imagine my disappointment – frustration turned into anger even.
Universe has its own plans
As I started the long journey back, my mind slowly settled, and the beauty of the waterfalls, the songs of birds, and the serenity of the forest began to soothe me.
I stopped thinking about the missing turtles and instead found joy in the unexpected moments – watching a lizard scuttle by or a monkey swinging through the trees. I was present, enjoying the simple pleasures nature offered.
And just like that, the Universe had its own plans.
A few days later, while visiting another city – Ipoh, I stumbled upon a stunning Chinese temple, built into the heart of a cave, surrounded by mountains.
And there, to my absolute delight, were the turtles I had so eagerly hoped to see.
They arrived when I least expected them, but it was, without a doubt, the perfect time.
Never loose your hope
The Universe always listens, and it knows when it’s our time. So, if you have heartful wishes or dreams waiting to unfold, remember this: everything has its own perfect timing.
The Universe always listens, and it knows when it’s our time. So, if there is a dream or wish deep in your heart that you have not seen come to life yet, don’t give up. Just because it hasn’t “arrived” yet, doesn’t mean it isn’t coming.
Hold your wishes, close, nurture them with patience, and trust that when the moment is right, when you are least expecting it, your dreams will unfold in a way more beautiful than you ever imagined.
Trust the Universe, trust yourself.
