Too Stubborn to Learn the Easy Way

Too stubborn to learn the easy way
Isn't it amazing how often life knocks us on the head and we persist to move on regardless? We sometimes do not learn to enjoy and achieve in life until everything else has been exhausted.
We'll that's what I went through.
I had been reading interesting material on letting go and trust the universe and I knew this as well through my meditation.
But I was stuck in my old ways and was trying to fight a losing battle in a company I had jointly with my partner.
Two years earlier I found out (it was 20 minutes before the 9/11 monstrosities started) that my partner in life and business had been in a relationship with another woman for over five years.
Instead of leaving then I fought a losing battle to free myself financially from the sinking company and hung onto it for a couple of years.
Then one day I realized that my health could not take it anymore and I was getting sick so I decided to cut my losses and walk out.
I did with 7$ in my pocket and a half tank of petrol in my car.
Driving away I felt this calm coming over me and I said out loud:
"Now I know I will be taken care of. I will get the money I need."
It did happen, three weeks later I was offered to work in a research project and got paid 1.783$ after just five days' work!
This taught me how to totally surrender to existence and just allow the flow to bring to me what I need to enjoy and achieve life success.
We can all do this we can all be taken care of as long as we open up to the universe.
This has nothing to do with religion, nor who you are or where you are coming from.
You just need to trust.
