Recently, I had a fascinating encounter that I feel compelled to share. I had engaged the services of two decorators, both of whom arrived promptly at my door. One was a tall, amiable man with a pleasant smile, and the other initially seemed equally affable. However, as soon as our eyes met, a strange sensation crept over me. There was something about him that made me feel uneasy, particularly his intense gaze. I sensed an ominous presence behind his eyes, so I averted my gaze but continued the conversation.
We were discussing what needed to be done and the order for maximum efficiency when the man in question started moving closer and closer toward me. His stare was making me feel uncomfortable; it was reminding me of when people come to church to see me because they needed my help with darker energies. My feelings told me to watch out, and I learned the hard way to listen to my gut. He was still drawing nearer and was now at a very close proximity, and I had no doubt that there was something not right about his energy, so I put out my hand to indicate to him to stop, and I asked him politely to back off, and he did.
When the man finally retreated, there was a palpable shift in the atmosphere. His friend had not given off any similar vibes, further confirming that my instincts were right. I awarded them the job, and they performed admirably. However, when they needed to update me, I made sure to maintain my distance, feeling a sense of relief that I had trusted my instincts.
I was pleased with myself for trusting my feelings and acting on them. This experience reinforced the importance of self-trust in my life. I have paid very dear prices in the past when I did not listen to my gut instincts, failing myself and paying the price in consequence. I reconciled with myself and found my peace. I now always listen to my instincts, regardless, and I pray that you also do the same. Be your own best friend; you will love it!
