Do you think then when you are on the right path in life..the universe will reach out to help you?

Question

I heard this saying on Oprah i think :)

But I guess I interpret it as meaning - when you are doing the right thing with your life - people etc etc will help you along the way. Basically when are on the right life path..... things will get easier.

Do you think this is true? Or is it too sugar coated to be real?

Answer 1

I think when a person is living "right", they are actually living the way God in the Bible has instructed.  I believe He takes care of His children and those who He will call on in the future and protects them and helps them out.

I do not believe the universe has anything to do with me personally.  The universe itself is not self-aware and is not capable of being either for me or against me.

Answer 2

If it's true, I think I'd better keep changing course....

But then, I don't think it's true. Many people do what's 'right', be it spending half-a-lifetime taking care of an ailing or disabled loved one, or in some other way putting their responsibility to others over their own needs. Thank God for these people (more often than not, women) who work without reward or recognition helping others. And that road is often hard and demoralizing. Sometimes, doing what's right has no payoff and no help along the way.

Peace

Answer 3

I think it is true.  It may be that when you are on the right path, you are more noticeable to the kind of people that can help you and more open to and accepting of the kind of situations that will benefit you, but it works nonetheless.

Answer 4

No. The universe does not have hands, per se.

Answer 5

Some people may find that inspirational and comforting, but its BS when I think about it.  What reason is there to believe that the universe has the awareness, ability or inclination to help any individual?  I think that when you are on the "right" path for you, you will find your life to be enjoyable and fulfilling moreso than difficult and miserable.  I call it having a "profitable life".  I really don't think the universe as a whole gives a **** about you.

Answer 6

The right path is not always the easiest, so I don't agree. If you see someone doing something wrong, it certainly would be easier to just look away. And there certainly are people, places and things that would help distract you and make you look away. But that doesn't mean looking away is right.

But, it's harder to step in and say something when you know it's wrong. You could lose your job, your reputation, your friends or worse, your life. Sometimes you don't get any handouts to help you do what's right. Sometimes you're just downright downtrodden.

You don't know you're doing the right thing because people are helping you. You know you're doing the right thing when you feel like you are.

Answer 7

I think when you are trying 2 do the things that r right-within your core being-you have peace and can ask 4 help & EXPECT help. U can expect it from a loving Father and from beings around you. There are only 2 forces in the world-good & evil. Which side do u want to be on? Also, remember that when u are trying to do right-the evil force will try and discourage u. Never give up!! You will never be sorry you chose the right. There will come a time when you will have to answer for your decisions and time on earth.

Answer 8

yeah, think so.  especially the part you said about it getting easier when you are on the right path.

it's like how wise ppl will tell you find a job you enjoy.  even if it doesn't pay amazingly, if you enjoy it, the work itself will be worthwhile.  

anyway, if you find a path that suits you well, it gets easier..because you enjoy it.  and the positive energy can be contagious.  anyway, YOU are a part of the universe also, so yeah, by helping yourself, the universe is helping you.  though that's a bit out there.

Answer 9

When you are on the right path in life you will know that you are not separate from the universe.

Answer 10

yes when you are on the right path you will have helpers but obsticals  will be thrown your way as well to test you.

Answer 11

The universe helps everyone.  If we are not on the "right" path, the universe corrects us.  We may not like it, but it's what we need to get on the right path.

When we live in harmony with the laws of Nature, the power of Nature upholds us.

But I know what you mean about sugar-coated.  It's one of those divine level truths that become muck when we hold them on the level of ordinary consciousness, the ego level.
