The universe always works in my favor
Believing that there is a force pulling the strings beyond the physical realm that we understand is essential for you to be able to pick up on this belief. No matter if you refer to this higher power as God, The Creator, The Universe, The Essence, The Source, The Higher Spirit, in order for this belief to work for you, you have to stop neglecting its existence and accept the fact that there is some form of a higher power that guides our entire existence and is way more powerful than anything that the human mind can imagine.
This higher power is responsible for your existence since it consciously created you as perfect as you are same as it created everything else and this higher power, even though it may not be speaking the languages that you understand, it has a way of communicating with us people and may choose to show itself to you which if it does, then you are one of the luckiest people on earth since it will only show more of itself to certain individuals who are chosen to lead humanity in a better tomorrow. Think of it as a consciousness that can set intentions and perform actions same as we humans do, many times expressing itself through us, people, whether we are conscious about it or not and it does not need a physical body to host it since it exists inside of us and everywhere around us.
"The universe always works in my favor" comes into play when you realize that this higher form of consciousness loves you as its creation and wants the best for you, but in order for it to bless you and provide you with everything that you want and need, you have to first deserve what you desire to have in your life by cooperating and contributing to help the universe achieve some of its goals and manifest its intentions, and in the process, the universe will take care for you to receive everything that you originally desired and more.
To begin the process of properly applying this belief into your life so it can work as expected, set your primary intention and go on a mission to make the world a better place for living, and then start doing things that you believe will help the world heal and evolve. If you are doing something wrong, the universe will send you a warning sign through some synchronistic experience, many times even before you make a bad choice, while if you are doing the right things, you will also get signs, encouraging you to keep doing what you do, and all you have to do is learn how to recognize the signs so the universe can guide you through your journey.
Have in mind that aware of it or not, you are being guided throughout your daily life and when you choose to contribute to making the world a better place for living, you also choose to be guided towards a life that is full of love, compassion, understanding, joy and much more since this are the things that we want to see being popular in the new world that we are creating.
Once you get in alignment and develop this connection with your spirit guides, you will realize that not only the universe helps you accomplish your mission which you started with the intention to help the world heal, but it also creates circumstances and events that are highly empowering for you, and again, if you play your part properly, every party involved in the event will realize your true power, that you gained thanks to your decision to contribute to making the world a better place for all of us to live in.
In order for the universe to actually start working in your favor, you will also have to pick up on some other beliefs as well and maybe even reprogram your entire mindset including changing your habits and daily routines. Be willing to commit to a change and constantly work on improving yourself as a way to get in the same rhythm with the universe and help it create a circumstance that only a better version of yourself can handle.
