I could kick myself!

I've blown some people away with my perceptions and "reads" of them. Sometimes it chills me to the bone when I'm right.

Today was an example.

A girl came up to me and I INSTANTLY knew that she was going to be famous. I wanted to start off the conversation with, "You are going to be famous" but given the position I'm in when I deal with people it's a risk so I asked what she did. She answered that she was an actor and wanted to be on the stage in New York. I told her about my first impression I got of her as she walked up, that she was going to be famous. Of course she was happy and I could tell by the look in her face that she didn't think I was messing with her.

Then I cautioned her not to key on what I said and think that just because I said she would be famous that it would be automatic. I explained she was headed that way but there might be a subtle hint that she would need to get that might make the difference. I told her that when she got there to remember that I had told her.

I'll give you another example.

Some years ago a family from New York came up to me. Mom, dad, two sons and a daughter. The daughter was much younger than her two brothers. I looked at the girl. Then I looked at the dad and said, "she's very talented isn't she?". He was FLOORED. He looked at me and asked why I would say that. I told him that it was just the way she was looking around. It was a very inquisitive manner. Like she was actually studying everything she saw. Then he floored ME. "She is a concert violinist. She's played in front of audiences in New York". The girl was 12 years-old.

Scary eh?

TRUE stories. Both of them.

This thing doesn't happen real often (thank god) and I can't MAKE it happen but when it does it's really strong.

I believe we all have it to some extent.
