For no prophecy ever originated because some man willed it [to do so–it never came by human impulse], but men spoke from God who were borne along (moved and impelled) by the Holy Spirit. 2Peter 1:21
Prophecy:
Knowledge of the future (usually said to be obtained from a divine source)
A prediction uttered under divine inspiration
Intuition:
Instinctive knowing (without the use of rational processes)
Have you ever been in a difficult situation and started thinking that it is a mistake being there. This phenomena always happen at Mile 001 or Day 001. I’m in that “confusion state” right now [homeostasis-resistance to change] . I’ve been with my job for so many years that I can say that all the routines and structures are well in place [I can do my job while sleeping stuff…]. Everything is different now and I have to make some fine tuning on the ways that I spend my time at work. I’m still with Samsung but this time my department has 7 members only [compared to >50 previously]. I will be spending more time in the office area now than in the factory floor and will be using my creative thinking brain the more.
I am not worried about my job or where I am because I know I was destined to be in this situation. Although at Day001, I had my thoughts of negativity of my new situation but I remember something – when you desire something in your heart-it will be given unto you. Many years ago, I started having an interest in System Thinking and Inventive Problem Solving so I started consuming materials regarding the subject. I read books, collect articles, try out new methodology to problem solving and started solving difficult problems etc. I’ve probably over saturated myself now with all the knowledge that I soaked up for a few years and it is time to do it and apply it to real world situation. I feel like the prophecy has been fulfilled in my life. This is going to be a great start!
I’m almost done with the 8th Habit and learning has been very good. There are new things that I did not know before that has been explained clearly. This one caught my attention. I’m still trying to test out and “self-asking” which level is the best or ideal because if you are in Level 7 and something goes wrong – that is big trouble example: a child make a mistake and a parent ask “Why did you not ask me?” Take a look.
