Has there ever been a time something goes wrong with what you were trying to do, or maybe some thing bad happens and you're like "I knew this wasn't going to work!" Or like "I had the feeling it will all turn out bad?"
Intuition
It's that voice inside your head that never seems to go away. Sometimes it can be so loud that it becomes annoying and sometimes it can be so quiet that you can explain what exactly it wants you to do. We all have our own .It's just like a subconscious body alarm, picking up signs around our environment and warning us if there's a need for a warning. The question is, do I listen to my intuition?
A lot of times, I've had to blame myself countless times for doing something I had weird feeling about at first. Probably even fallen into some dangers or taken steps I shouldn't have taken because I didn't pay attention to the voice in my head. I was basically brushing off those little nudges and warnings as merely a product of my overthinking or my paranoia. Nevertheless they were warnings I should've paid attention to or at least paused and reflect but I didn't and it cost me.
A few years back, I fell into the hands of some bad guys on my way to work. It was just a regular day, although my work was supposed to start at noon so wasn't the typical morning work day. I was at the stop waiting for a commercial tricycle to board, it's harder to get them at noon hours and the hot sun wasn't helping matters. I thought I was fortunate to see one coming my way until there was two guys in the back.
First intuition question:"Why are there just 2 guys in the back who don't look like they are coming from or going to somewhere important?"
I listened and decided to stay in front with the driver but this man said the seat won't carry the two of us because it was bad.
Second intuition question: * why is this man not letting me stay here like other drivers do, even when the seat didn't seem bad at all?"*
Apparently he assured me that the guys will be getting down soon. In my desperation to get to where I was going and quit standing around in the hot sun I had to stay at the back. I was so uneasy but the guys didn't alight few minutes into the ride like he said they would and I was the only passenger left. I let out a sigh of relief, little did I know things were about to get worse. It wasn't long after the first guys dropped, he picked up another guy. At that point, I had this feeling to ask him to stop me midway but we were almost getting close to my workplace so I stayed put. He picked up another guy with me now in the middle and the rest was a sad story.
The next thing I knew was finding myself on a road I had no business being on without my phone or bank card or anything, just me and my stranded self. The only way I got back home was the money I found in my jean pocket, fortunately. It took a long time to recover from that incident because it was a new phone I just got. I paid the last of the installment few weeks before I lost it plus my card that was taken and everything in my account was cleared to zero before my eyes could blink.
I kept blaming myself for everything that happened. I should've listened to those warnings. Maybe things wouldn't have gotten that far, but it happened. That experience changed me so much . It made me become more aware of myself and my environment. If I feel something isn't right, I don't just brush it off like it's nothing. There's a reason we were made to feel things, there's a reason we were given intuition. It's not just about warning us when something isn't right. It can also help us make the right decisions when we pause and think. We won't have to keep dealing with self guilt and the pains that come with making the wrong decisions. The next you feel something isn't right, it probably because something is really not right.
