Summary

We’ve all had times in our life when we’ve needed help—and we’ve all had times when we’ve received the help we needed. In this episode of The Gathering Room: How to Look for Help, Martha says that appreciating those times when you’ve been helped in the past is the key to getting help in the future. When we focus on need, Martha says, it creates a lifetime that feels like nothing but need. But when you see yourself as someone who’s always ultimately received help, you begin to see the universe as a friendly place where help is everywhere. To learn how to shift your perspective and start noticing how the universe responds to your appreciation for help, be sure to listen to the full episode!

0:51.4	So we want not necessarily just the experience of something, but the experience
0:55.8	of remembering the something. Because it's the experience of remembering all our somethings
1:02.1	that sort of create our image of what the universe is like and what our place in it really is.
1:09.2	So if we think of how to have been helped, it's like finding the
1:15.1	universe a friendly place, being able to find help everywhere because you look back on the life
1:20.9	you've lived and you remember having been helped. Now, every single one of us could look back on life
1:30.2	and remember times when we needed help without question, right?
1:35.0	We are born little and helpless
1:36.7	and we really, really need help.
1:39.2	Not all of us look back and say,
1:41.1	oh, I was helped this time, I was helped that time.
