Intuition

 I recently read a fascinating article published in the Guardian about, amongst other things, life after near-death experiences, resilience, courage and intuition. The article follows several different individuals who have had a close encounter with death only to survive either in terror or in gratitude and appreciation. In two of those stories however, what fascinated me is that these individuals had had premonitions that well, things were going to turn to shit. They had felt either seconds or years prior a deep-rooted fear, they had sensed that something was not quite right and in both cases, chose to ignore that voice. Chose to silence their doubts and forge ahead, only to be confronted face on with an abrupt impending finality. So what we can all learn from their traumatizing and life-altering experiences is to trust our instincts. If a little voice tells you that a situation is unsafe, that a person is not trustworthy, that individuals are unsavory characters or that a place feels dangerous, listen to it. It might just save you a broken heart, a broken leg or save your life altogether. xox
