Everyone experiences ups and downs, though the experiences may not be identical. It can be easy to get caught up in the belief that if you are "in alignment" with the universe, then it will bring you everything you want, and if you're experiencing challenges in life, then you must be doing something wrong. This thinking is potentially harmful, leading to unnecessary shaming and blaming of oneself.
People are certainly capable of attracting wonderful things, and living with mindfulness and intention in our environment is so important. But no one is exempt from the vicissitudes of life. Learning to find all the little things to be grateful for while also understanding that there will always be an ebb and flow will go a long way towards helping a person stay grounded and respond to twists and turns with grace, rather than staying stuck in a cycle of shame, guilt, or denial.
