Dear teachers,

What does it mean "coming their way" in the below two sentences?
Do 1) and 2) have the same meaning?

1) They worry about these things only when such things are coming their way.

2) Adults under age 50 are more optimistic than their elders that financial improvements are coming their way.

I hope to give me any answers.
Thank you, sincerely.

It means "will soon happen" or "going to happen."
