When you start connecting and listening, some funny things might happen: you’ll know where to go, what to say, in order to help others. Not all the time, maybe you’ll make mistakes, but there will be times where it will be so powerful that you won’t be able to just call it a “coincidence”.
Know this: you’ll always have the choice to listen or not. To ignore the voice or not. It’s not a yell; it’s a whisper, a gentle nudge, a subtle hint.
Here’s how it happens for me:
The other day, I went to the grocery store. In front of it, there was a tent, which advertised for the banner, prompting people to start making canned food at home. This is something I love doing, and I have quite a lot of knowledge about it.
I thought I’d go see what tips they were giving once I’ll be done (I only had a few items to buy).
As I walked out to get my bicycle, I’m thinking of just going back home: after all, I know quite a lot, and even if they had a few nice recipes, I have so many already!
As I’m getting my bike, I’m “hearing” that little voice in my head : “Canning”. And it kept gently repeating itself.
I’m a little annoyed, because by then, my choice was made, and I wanted to go back home!
I surrendered, and went…
As I’m talking with the 2 beautiful young women, exchanging about canning, a sudden gust of wind lifted the tent (which was about 15’X15’), making it slide backwards as well as start to flip over.
My reflex?
With my bike between my legs, my arms extended, I grabbed my side of the tent, holding on tight to it…! (Thank God for years of yoga: I’m quite strong!!!).
It gave time to the 2 women to get up, hold on to their side of the tent.
The thing we didn’t know: right behind them were tables, with people sitting there. If the tent would have flipped over, or slide backwards as it would surely do, they would have received it on the head!
If I wouldn’t have been there, holding on to my side of the tent, the 2 girls wouldn’t have been able to do anything, since they were on the opposite side of where the wind was coming in.
Why am I sharing this?
Because once you start exchanging with Higher Being, being opened to Its guidance, you can be surprised: you may be asked to help… even if you’re tired, in a hurry, stressed or grumpy!!!
You’ll have the choice (always) to listen or not. But the more you listen, the more you’ll be asked to help, because It knows It can trust you to act.
I have so many stories like this one! Sometimes, you might feel foolish: you have absolutely no clue why you should talk to someone, what to say, or what to do! But you’ll know… and if you don’t, isn’t it worth taking the chance? Leave your ego on the side, and at worst… be ridiculous!
Like yesterday: 2 tourists were heading towards a classical music concert, and they seemed lost. I knew, by the foldable chair they were carrying, that they must be going to the same place I was.
I didn’t know where I was going neither, but I had… Google Maps! And I saw they didn’t. And yes, I felt the gentle nudge to ask them if they wanted to follow me ;).
They were relieved and happy.
Isn’t what living is all about?
Helping each other when we can?
…life is not always about “me”…
What if you could, more than you thought you could?
What if you were asked, by The Universe, to do certain things?
