There are going to be experiences in your life that will leave you feeling like you got sideswiped in the middle of an intersection. I personally experienced this physically – a person ran a red light and hit the drivers side of my car. This was of course, many years ago. I was at an intersection, and my light turned green. I had a very strong feeling not to cross over the intersection, but I looked both ways and didn’t see a car coming, besides, the light was green so it was my turn to go.
As I was about to shift into 2nd gear, I saw a bright light and heard an explosion, not realizing what had happened, all I thought was how I knew not to cross over the intersection even though the light was green and I didn’t see a car coming. It wasn’t until after my car stopped spinning that I realized how accurate my intuition/premonition was, and I had gone against myself.
The lesson is, if we get a gut feeling about someone, a job, or about a business deal, no matter how good it appears on paper or in person, if you have a bad gut feeling, you need to trust it and use it to make wise decisions in your life.
I was side-swiped by a person who I thought was my friend. There were subtle signs. The first one is the invisible arm that goes up when ever I was around her. In the past when ever I listened to this signal, I was spared alot of pain. In this particular case, I was looking at her words and actions and went with that, vs. the danger signals I was receiving in my body.
As my intuition would have it, it was a matter of time when I started receiving vicious emails with false accusations and critical judgmental comments made at me and my person. It made no sense to me, because I had spent alot of time helping her, networking her and her Meetup group and sending prospects her way. I didn’t dignify her emails with a response or explanation. They were just outright far from reality and downright rude and disrespectful. She educated me on what she thought of me, and I was grateful to verify that she is someone I certainly wouldn’t want to have a joint partnership with and to call a friend.
So if you have someone who is hovering around you, labeling you, criticizing or belittling you, just know it’s not you, it’s the other person. You stay focused on your dream and vision. See it as a distraction – most importantly, forgive that person and see it as an opportunity to move in the right direction. You don’t need to prove your innocence (there isn’t anything to explain or apologize for, right?) just see it as God’s way of growing you up and becoming a leader,harnessing your character and integrity for success!
