(Madisyn Taylor)
Just as the universe wants to provide for our needs, it also seeks to protect us from dangerous situations, destructive relationships, and even minor inconveniences. Frequently in our lives, perhaps every day, we encounter psychic red flags warning us of potential problems or accidents. We may not always recognize the signs. However, more often than not, we may choose to ignore our intuition when it tells us that "something just isn't right."
Red flags often come in the form of feelings urging us to pause for a moment, listen to our intuition, and reconsider. We may even experience a "bad" feeling in our bellies. This is a red flag letting us know that there may be a problem. We may not even know what the red flag is about. All we know is that the universe is trying to wave us in a different direction. We just have to pay attention and go another way. We may even wonder whether we are paranoid or imagining things. However, when we look back at a situation or relationship where there were red flags, it becomes easy to understand exactly what those warning signs meant. More often than not, a red flag is not a false warning. Rather, it is the universe's way of informing us, through our own innate guidance system, that our path best lies elsewhere.
Pay attention to any red flags that pop up. The universe is always looking out for you.
My Thoughts:
It is sometimes all very well the universe waving a ruddy great big red flag in our face about something that is not quite right, but it is not always that easy to heed them.
Stuck in a job that you instinctively know is not right for you, or in one that you will never fit in, or one that is making you miserable and even though you are totally aware that this is the case, but can do nothing bout leaving because of financial issues is hard to deal with. Admittedly there is always the option of applying for other jobs, but until one is found you have to endure the current one. There is also the poverty trap in this country where you will not be able to claim any benefits if you walk away. So, you end up in catch 22 … financial implications if you leave, but potential damage to your job prospects if you get yourself sacked.
The same can be said of relationships, especially if there are children involved. You may instinctively know that things are not right before a crisis point is reached, but the logistics of terminating the relationship and then having to endure the repercussions in the aftermath may out-weigh the hardships being endured by keeping things the same.
Then there are the early warning signs that come with no explanation or instructions, the ones that make you feel uneasy but the impact of them is only evident after the event when the damage has been sustained.
These are the ones I hate. I mean if there is going to be no clarity as to what they are all about, I think I would rather not have them.
