On the brink of disaster

Ever wonder why you may stop when you're on the brink of saying or doing something you'd regret? Does an invisible hand hide your car keys before you leave a bar? Do you experience a sudden bout of amnesia when you're about to insult someone? Do images of your life flash in front of you and sway you from joining a criminal element? Does some powerful force prevent you from hitting someone after you raise your hand? Is this a little favor from Forces beyond you who desire to save you from yourself?  You may not help but wonder about your guardian angels.

Consider the last time you almost lost your cool, almost embarassed yourself in front of a crowd, almost gave up plans when the going got tough, almost went too far too fast when you really weren't ready. What reason did you have for suddenly changing your course of action?  Perhaps an opportunity grabbed your attention, something didn't feel right or gave you goosebumps, the window blew open or something else happened to distract you.  Do you honestly believe that these were freak occurrences?  Could they have been efforts to bring you to your senses?

Reflect on the situations which created your deepest wounds, the things that were said or done, at home or at work, or in public places. You relive the feelings you had as you were betrayed, discarded, disrespected or otherwise mistreated.  When you're on the brink of taking steps to seek revenge, something causes you to lighten your emotional load and let go of the hurt before you hurt more than yourself.  A Force beyond you convinces you of the many benefits to be found in releasing negative, dishonorable thoughts, not only for you, but also for the sake of others who observe you, learn and follow from your experience.

On the brink of adisaster is a time of surprising growth and enlightenment. You suddenly see yourself and situations more clearly. At times, you sense a flash of foreseight to help ground you.  Imagine that this is meant to happen.  What do you learn about yourself? impatience? or ego? Maybe, just maybe, something beyond you is looking out for your best interests. Look at you now!
