Forgetful or just didn't listen to an instinct

November 18, 2008 6:09pm CST
Last night, I was thinking to get my things ready for my travel today. This morning I had to hurry so I can get there on time as what I had said to my friend. When I thought everything was ready and packed up, something came upto my mind I felt like I should go back to my room because there's something left, but I don't know what it is. I said to myself I am sure everything I needed is here so I can't be bothered to go back to my room again, and now that I arrived here after 3 hours traveling I just remembered that it was my mobile broadband that I left in my room which I was thinking that night, it was the first thing that I should bring with me. I regret why I didn't listen to my instinct to go back to my room I shouldn't have forget it.

I travel quite a bit and like you, try to pack in advance but it never fails that once in a while I forget to pack something. That is why I always remeber to bring 2 things and that is all I think about before leaving the house. The first is my cell phone. I always want to be connected. The second and most important is my wallet. If I do forget something or get in a pinch, then I can always purchase it. This way I don't stress out.

This happens to me lots of times, thats why I had to tried hard to make things ready but I don't know why there's always something missing when I needed it. Most of the time there's like something that's pushing me to go back but I just didnt bothered at all, I am learning to listen to my instinct more often and try to do what you said, think before leaving. Thanks!

I agree. Everyone has instincts for a reason. Instincts are not learned but inherited and can be very powerful. I try to always follow my instincts with mixed results.

It is ok. I hope it did not bring you to trouble leaving your broadband mobile. We have a lot of things in mind and sometimes we tend to forget stuff.

Good job the hotel where I checked in had an internet card so I had to get one to have a wireless connection. I could have saved money if I had brought mine with me but too late, I don't have a choice than to get it. Yes, too much thinking of how to save money but then ended up wasting more that's what happened to me planning my trip for less expenses but it didn't work. Thanks for sharing.

Probably,a combination of the two,being forgetful and didn't listen to your instinct heheh..Well,there are times that incident happens,much as we don't want them to happen,they still do.Hello friend

Hello my dear friend, thanks for the nice response. Yes, sometimes we think we don't want it to happen and tried as much as we could so there's no incident to happen, but it still do. Maybe it's just a part of behaviour of a human being and things in life!We tend to forget even the most important needs especially when our mind is busy thinking a lot of things.

hi !sometimes i have the same experiences as you ,particularly the moment hastily divert yourself from one thing to another.i guess it likely has something to do with intuition of mankind ,instinct though not so claimable and remarkable than intention subordinated by the brain,still has its reliable awareness to supervise human's subsequent behavior.

Yes, your right! I thought it's only me who's experiencing it, good job that I am not alone LOL. Sometimes, I felt like there's going to happen that day but I didn't know. So instead of not going to that certain place, I still go and things happened. It's like I am being warned when something is left, or something is going to happen, but it didn't tell exactly what it's just I can feel it.

I've just didn't listen to my instincts any of times and it usually didn't go so well. I think it's human nature to ignore your instincts even though their called instincts for a reason. maybe we ignore them because we're ment to learn some from whatever the conscience of us ignoring them is. Not sure but maybe we should listen to them more often.

Yes, maybe it should be better if we listen to our instinct most of the times. I will tell you a story, I always play lottery atleast 3 times a week. One day I didnt have enough balance so I need to put some more money so I can buy tickets, I felt like I should play but I just can't be bothered so I didn't play, I said leave it till next day. And then when I watched on television the numbers that I used to play most of the time came up to the result. I told myself, see if I had listened enough to my instinct I might had won LOL. Not lucky!
