The universe works from a higher power. It knows exactly what we're doing and when we're doing it. If we're being selfish, the universe knows that too; if we're try to make a situation work to our advantage, the universe will always know we're being selfish.

We might try to deceive, but we can't deceive for long, we will get caught out. On our part, we should reconcile what we know is the truth, instead of trying to make something work that goes against how the universe expects us to work and allow the universe to guide us instead.

It is easier for us to work on what the universe expects and requires of us, not what we choose for ourselves, or for our own gain, which goes against the universe’s principles. Our lives can never work out like that. The universe knows.

  1. It's important we get the universe thing right. If anything it makes life easier, more simple, less complicated. It's also not something we'll get away with.

    Things have a habit of creeping up on us, when we least expect them to. In that case, we may as well get things right first time.

    1. Thanks, yes I think so too. I unconsciously chose very early on to live my life by the universe and its rules.

      Not only does our life become easier when we do, but life becomes more meaningful. We also become better people because we learn to live with more empathy, compassion and tolerance.
