Episode 315: The Lesson in Accidents

I got to thinking about the "accidents" in my life and how looking back on them, I now realize they weren't really accidents at all. I now see these incidents as intentions delivered by the universe.

Why is it that so many of us treat incidents that weren't of our intention as accidents and often bad things or wrong things or things that should not have happened (aka oopsies!)

And in my examples of my oldest daughter and myself as unplanned pregnancies, it really makes you think, right? Because no human being is an accident. We truly are intentions of the universe.

So how about other kinds of accidents? What incidents in your past have you labeled as an accident but were actually the universe's attempt to point you down a path that you are either unwilling to walk or unable to see on your own?

Just because we take intentional action does not mean it's the RIGHT action and it will lead us where we are supposed to go. Quite the contrary!

We often take wrong turns because most of us ignore our internal GPS, that gut instinct that resides in all of us, because we are too busy checking in with our logical brain that is very busy trying to find ways to convince us our internal GPS is wrong.

So if you find this concept intriguing, tune in to hear my twist on why accidents are more likely to push us in the right direction towards our purpose, than any conscious intentional action that we take from logical thinking.
