Alignment > time

Overheard this on the interwebs:
You think it takes time, but it actually takes alignment. – The Universe
1000% true.
So true and so taken for granted, I forgot it runs the universe.
Because every time I’m fully aligned, totally committed in mind, body, soul, to a goal or destination, every thing works fast. Things just fall into place. People show up. Resources appear out of nowhere. Opportunities land on your lap.
I liked to call this providence.
Some say manifestation.
Older ones call it destiny.
But the operational principle behind it all?
Alignment.
Time is often misunderstood for alignment, because oftentimes alignment takes time. Lots of time, failures, detours, slumps, peaks, consistency, 1% compounding, old selves dying, new selves emerging, rinse and repeat over and over before you get to true alignment.
But if you simply align right here right now, it takes no time.
No time at all.
So, heed, heed.
Alignment > time

Or it might be an excuse haha

I’m more aligned with sitting on my behind watching YouTube than I am making a difference in the world.

Ah that resonates. I’ve given up on making a difference in the world. Now I just wanna earn money, have fun.

So if I’m understanding this, when someone says, "I don’t have time for x because of y, what they mean is I’m more aligned with y than I am x?
