How many of us have received messages about something that's to come? To not drive a certain way that you normally go every day? Messages about little to big things?
I get messages about many things. Once, while driving, an idea of an auto accident just popped into my mind involving me. I thought, well that's a strange thought. I've never been in an accident, I hope I would handle it okay. After another minute or two, nothing happened and I didn't think of it again.
The next day I was having a terrible time getting ready for an event I was managing that week. I could have skipped it that day. Each time I thought, okay fine, I won't go, everything went smoothly. Every time I would think that I really should go, things would start going wrong again. Really knowing better but deciding to ignore all these messages, I went anyway. Late, but I was going.
On my way, the exact area an idea of an accident had popped up, (which I didn't realize until later), I was hit purposefully. The officers told me it was called a Pittman maneuver to cause you to spin. Well, as I had wondered, they also told me that I handled it well and didn't lose control of my vehicle.
Luckily, no major injury occurred and it was yet another time I had to learn the hard way to listen. Today I'm much better from all these kinds of things and I will listen. I no longer have to understand why I should or shouldn't do something, I just listen.
