The universe doesn’t give you what you ask for with your thoughts - it gives you what you demand with your actions.

About This Quote

Whether you believe it or not, there is a universal power that connects all of us. And it’s almost always present in times of need and disaster, as well as in moments of triumph and achievement. When we feel fear and pain, we often ask the universe to give us a special someone who can help us out. However, we can’t control our thoughts and we can’t control the universe.

The only thing we can do is make our own demands. We must create the situations where we can reach out and receive what we need. And if we do this perfectly, the universe will give us exactly what we want.
