Do you believe that the universe sends you "signs"

to help you make the right choices?

I've found myself wondering about this. I'm not at all superstitious normally.

Over the last 5 years I've been trying to get a certain type of job on and off. Nothing special or unusual but there seems to be a huge conspiracy to stop it happening. There is the normal stuff like not being successful at interview or the advert being withdrawn but then I've been successful three (yes 3!!!) times and all of them havent panned out for me for different reasons. I applied for a post last week that I was feeing optimistic aboit but found out today that one of the directors has been arrested for embezelment (sp?) so I'll be withdrawing my application from that in case the business cant survive the financial impact.

But now Im wondering if I should just get the hint. 🤣 Maybe someone is telling me, that wouldnt be the right job for me. It would be a big change in direction for me.

That would mean the universe was a sentient entity wouldn't it?

So no.

If it is, then it's telling me it hates me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😬😬

I'm not sure about signs from the universe, but I do think opportunities present themselves sometimes when you least expect them - and that you should grab them.

No more than I believe in the tooth fairy or Father Christmas
