Here is a copyrighted excerpt from the book:

The Universe brings you what you are supposed to get

And though more often than not

I fret

That it's not what I want

Not what I wish

Not that which makes my heart soar

With patience

Open-mindedness

Open heart

I see, in time,

That the Universe gave me much more.
