I watched the Odessey movie, last week. It was done very well. In one part of it, Odysseus is delayed for years by someone feeding him lotus flowers, which by way of its pleasure caused him to forget and to remain, rather than returning to his wife.
The lotus flower element has been used in several other Greek tales and movies, and it is a good way to illustrate the point I want to make here. I saw a meme, earlier, that said they trusted the timing of the universe or their story or such. It's a cute saying, but it is not only incorrect but will keep you from reaching your goals.
How? Because, if you enter a mental state where you are not at work in your own life, nothing is happening. So, people can be sitting there waiting on the universe to do it for them, when all the time they fail to realize they ARE in the universe and are tasked with their own life. They are the answer waiting to happen.
To echo my recent post, Do the Work, I wanted to be in shape and get fit for decades, til I got discontented and dedicated to get off my but to start doing it.
There is a place for patience, and the universe will respond to your work, but as Benjamin Franklin once said, "God helps those that help themselves." So, what is the universe waiting for YOU to do for yourself?
