Do you ever feel that despite all your efforts and wishes, things just don't go in the right direction? Why does it feel like the universe is telling you "NO" over and over again? Maybe it's time to slow down and listen to the silence among the stars. What if those setbacks, closed doors, and unexpected turns are actually hidden signals directing you away from a path that isn't right for you?
In life, we often pursue goals, desires and dreams with all passion and perseverance, we believe that our will and effort the key to success. However, sometimes it happens that despite all the effort and desire, things do not go according to plan.
It seems as if the universe is telling us "NO" at every turn. Instead of perceiving this as defeat or failure, it is important to stop and we listen to these signs. Sometimes the universe helps us in this way to prevent us from going down the wrong path.
Reasons why the universe may not have fulfilled your wishes yet.
You're not ready yet
The first reason you feel like the universe isn't fulfilling your desires may be that you're just not ready yet. You may not yet have developed the necessary skills, knowledge, or emotional maturity necessary to make your desires a reality. The universe often places obstacles in our way as a way to force us into the growth and development necessary to truly appreciate and take advantage of opportunities when they eventually come.

Sometimes we are so convinced of our current desires and goals that we fail to see the bigger picture. Perhaps the universe is rejecting your current desires because they are not in line with your true mission or path in life. When our desires and actions align with our deepest essence and mission, things begin to flow more smoothly. Being open to diversions and changes in direction is key.
You need more time
Sometimes it's not a question of if you will achieve your desires, but when. The timeline you envision for your dreams to come true is not necessarily in line with the universe's timeline. Patience is key here. You have to learn to trust the process and believe that the universe will provide the right opportunities at the right time.

Sometimes we want something so badly that we don't see how it would actually limit us or even cause pain in the future. The universe may be protecting us from something that would be harmful to us in the long run. That's why it's important to learn to accept rejections and closed doors as part of a bigger plan that will ultimately bring us greater happiness and fulfillment.
You have something important to learn
Sometimes it is a task that the universe sets us to learn something important before we can move forward. This can be anything from patience, persistence, how to deal with failure, to understanding what we really value and need in life. These lessons are often key to our personal growth and development.
You need to change your approach
Perhaps the reason your desires are not being met is because you need to change your approach. You may be focusing too much on the end goal and not enough on the journey leading up to it. You may need to change your methods, approaches, or even change your mindset. Flexibility and the ability to embrace change are critical to success in any area of life.
How to recognize the signals of the universe?

Have you noticed that new and unpredictable obstacles keep appearing on your way to your goal? Maybe the universe wants you to rethink your direction.
Recurring topics in conversations
Do you keep coming across the same topic or advice in conversations with different people that seems unrelated to your current endeavors? This can be a gentle cue to rethink your approaches or goals.
Intuitive feelings
Sometimes the signal is simply a feeling inside you telling you that something is not right. Intuition is a powerful tool that should not be ignored.
Closing the door
When every opportunity you try seems to end up with a closed door, it might be time to reconsider the direction you're taking.
Physical barriers
Sometimes the signals are more physical in nature, such as health problems or sudden changes in circumstances that prevent progress. These can be clear signs to slow down or rethink your plans.
Recurring problems
If certain problems keep recurring in your life, no matter how hard you work to solve them, it may be a sign that you need to focus your energy elsewhere.
When the universe seems to be saying “NO” to you it doesn't have to be a sign that you have to let go of your dreams and desires. Instead, it's this opportunity, to stop, listen and think.
You might be learning important lessons, maybe you are on your way to something much better, or maybe you just need more time to become the person who will be able to make your dreams come true. Trust the process and be open to change; the universe has its own way of guiding us along the right path.
