Develop Your Intuition

A few years ago I kept a journal of stream-of-consciousness thoughts.

I would start with the writing prompt, “What do you need to know today?”, and then write whatever entered my mind without consciously considering the topic.

One particular day, I wrote the words, “Your life is about to be turned upside down and inside out.”

When I wrote this in my journal, my life was chugging along normally. I had no idea what this statement meant, and I moved on and forgot about it.

Three months later, my life was turned upside down with a huge life change I never saw coming.

When I read back over my journal, I was shocked to see the words I'd written months earlier.

Why did I write this before I had any conscious awareness of the portending upheaval? How did I “know” that my life would be turned upside down?
