I’ve been watching a television show called FlashForward. The basic concept is that the whole world blacks out for 2 minutes. During that time, people see their lives 6 months into the future. As time goes on, people begin to see that pieces of their “flashforwards” are coming true, and as a result, they start living their lives differently. They start to live with the expectation that the life they saw will be, or is, reality. You can imagine what a dramatic shift that might create in one’s life and the way they live it.
Then I got to thinking. What if our intuition is like a mini flashforward? What if we really did have an ability to see or sense our future and it manifested itself as our intuition? If you are like me, I am sure you have had several experiences when your intuition guided you in a certain direction, as if it knew the future. Depending on your trust, you either followed it or you did not.
One of the best examples of this for me was when I bought my last car. All throughout the process, I had a strong feeling that something was wrong and that I should not buy that car. I couldn’t figure out why, nor did I trust the feeling, so I bought the car. The car was a Saturn, and today, the company is out of business.
What if our intuition is a future we cannot see that is whispering to us? How would our lives be different if we trusted it? What pains would we avoid? What opportunities would we realize? The proof I have gathered in my life points in the direction that our intuition is indeed some form of a time machine for all of us. The trick is paying attention to it and trusting it.
Perhaps you have a similar story about your intuition guiding you. If so, leave your story in the comments section. Let’s see what our collective intuition knows and proves out.
Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live.
– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Universe whispers to us every day, directing us on our path. Sadly, we repeatedly don’t listen or accept its guidance. Too often we let fear, uncertainty, doubt and lack of trust rule our lives, and when we do, we kill off the countless possibilities and future that exists just beyond them. How would your life be different if you lived without those negative influences? I would venture to say that life would be lived with a more ease and peace

Great article, Rich
My problem is that I live stuck in the future. Stuck in the mire of negative “what if ” outcomes. I am fully aware that there are positive ones, but I just seem hard wired to default to the negative. I wish I could change that.
