Are you reading the signs?

I know that what I am going to tell you will sound crazy, but for the first time I want to open up and share. 

I will start revealing that I never believed in luck not in coincidences. All events throughout my life were meant to be. All the people I met during the journey appeared in the right place and the right moment for a specific reason. This matter has been always very clear to me without a doubt. Over time I came up with this idea: 

If destiny is written and every event has a cause I might need to stop to guess what will happen and focus on finding out the reasons for what happens to me. 

As in the book "the secret" we discovered that when we think about something constantly and we Imagine ourselves doing it, we do send an energy message to the universe and the universe makes it happen for us, in this case it started to happen to me. I woke up one morning in Dubai willing to go to work and I was already late, tired, stressed and in a bad mood. I certainly knew the day would be a nightmare, but I had no choice but to go through it. So I got dressed and left my house. It was a tremendous rainy day in Dubai. The streets were flooded with water, traffic everywhere and not a single taxi to catch.

Somehow that morning my eyes were showing me a different scenario than they used to see. I suddenly started realise things. The rain, the people, the worries, the stress, the confusion, the loss of hope, the doubts... and surprisingly real things started to happen that I would never have been able to acknowledge before. Crossing the street in a rush trying to stop a taxi a woman asked me for a lighter. For the first time in my life I took it as a sign and I stopped and turned to give her light. In that instant a car wanted to overtake another car and almost hit us, but in the end the truth is that nothing happened to us. Small incidents have taken place in front of my eyes on a daily basis and to step back for a moment to observe and analyze the situation helped me to be always safe.

The way I stare and I see the world today is entirely different to what it used to be before. Now I care for silly non important things, I observe, I try to help others, I approach unknown persons, I listen to people's stories, I reach out to others, I watch carefully without judging and for every risk I take I keep my eyes wide open and the both feet on the ground.
