What happens when your guides tell you something, or give a direction, but it’s a disaster? It seems like your guides got it wrong, but what if it wasn’t a disaster?

Maybe there was such learning and personal growth that you’re not even the same person you used to be because of it?

Spirit guides might look like they got it wrong, but they are there four our soul growth, not to make our lives easy.

They’re there to make our lives more spiritual so we can understand the depths of our soul and how to live through our soul. And if it means we learn a big fat lesson to get there, then that is the guidance.

A guide’s name

I’ve mentioned before I don’t know my guide’s name, nor do I worry about it, but I know many people do. What’s more interesting to me is their influence.

It’s about the guidance, the nudges, little hints and synchronicities. If it leads down a supposed wrong path, who’s to say it’s wrong? In 10 years time, looking back on the supposed disaster perhaps you’ll be grateful.

When I thought my own guides got it wrong

Twenty five years ago I dropped everything in my life in Sydney. I was producing fitness music. I had a partner. I had the best job in the world. Chucked it all in to go to Byron Bay.

Chucked my partner in, found somebody else who I was positive was my twin flame, soul mate, past life lover, etc and it was horrible. It was the worst relationship, but I was stuck in Byron Bay doing healing work, paying rent in a business and feeling very let down by my guidance.

Alongside of that I learned how to deal with bullies, and manipulative people. I did truckloads of personal work, and eventually met my current partner of nineteen years. If I’d never gone to Byron Bay and done that crazy thing, I’d never be where I am now.

I first met the spirit world

I first became aware of the spirit world in a massage session. My client’s mother appeared in my mind’s eye right next to me asking me to say the word, “Mittens,”

I was too scared to say anything because I thought he’d know I was crazy. But I finally got the courage to ask about mittens.

My massage client replied Mittens was the name of the family cat – and of course, his Mum was there in spirit holding a giant cat.

That’s when I knew I was a medium. All of that wouldn’t have happened if I’d have packed it in assuming my guides got it wrong.

Guides don’t get it wrong, but they DO ask us to grow and take soul risks

All disasters are ways to grow our soul, and even the worst has a silver lining.

You’ll look back and get a silver lining because your guides are there for your spiritual growth, not your ego growth.

Disaster or best decision ever? I would love to hear your thoughts.
