How often do we let our minds jump to the worst possible conclusion? Sometimes the greatest gift is discovering that we were completely wrong. Whether we're interpreting a situation or developing our intuition, every experience offers an opportunity to learn, grow, and sometimes laugh at ourselves.
The other morning, I was walking in the pitch dark with my husband and son. Pretty early in the walk, we noticed cars pulling out and driving slowly, as they often do—but this time, they seemed to linger near us a bit longer than usual.
I didn't think much of it until it happened for the third time. My husband began to get concerned. This was highly unusual behavior for cars on our familiar morning route.
About 20 minutes into our walk, we discovered the reason.
Our cat, Puma, had secretly decided to tag along, trotting about 20 feet behind us. 🐈⬛
While we do have outdoor cats, this was far beyond his typical range, so it certainly wasn't something we expected—or encouraged. We all burst out laughing as my husband slowed his pace and gently escorted Mr. Puma the rest of the way home.
As we walked back, I thought about the relief that comes from realizing you were wrong about something that initially seemed worrisome.
If I had spent more time dwelling on it, I might have started questioning our safety.
Why were the cars behaving so strangely?
What were they really doing?
Of course, the drivers were simply slowing down for the little pair of glowing cat eyes following behind us—eyes we hadn't noticed in the darkness. I even had the feeling that the last driver wanted to warn us, and they probably did.
The experience reminded me of something I see often in my psychic development classes and our Mohr Intuitive Collective puzzles.
Many students hold themselves back because they're afraid of being wrong.
There can be so much pressure to "get it right," to maintain credibility, or to prove intuitive accuracy.
But everyone starts somewhere.
I began practicing psychic puzzles when I was very young, so I've simply had more years to practice. I started exactly where every student begins—learning, experimenting, testing my impressions, and yes, sometimes being wrong.
That's part of developing intuition.
In many ways, it's actually a relief not to have all the answers.
Life becomes much more enjoyable when we allow ourselves to trust the process, stay curious, and appreciate the surprises along the way instead of trying to control every outcome.
The next time you discover that something you feared turned out not to be true, take a moment to appreciate it.
Being wrong isn't always a failure.
Sometimes it's the very best outcome.
And if you're lucky, it might even become one of your favorite stories—just like a little cat named Puma quietly following behind us in the dark. 🩷
Common Questions
What if I'm wrong during intuitive practice?
Being wrong is a natural part of learning. Every intuitive impression—whether accurate or not—helps you strengthen discernment and build confidence through experience.
How can I become more confident in my intuition?
Practice consistently without expecting perfection. Psychic development grows through repetition, curiosity, and a willingness to learn from every experience.
Why do people fear being wrong?
Many people worry that making a mistake will damage their credibility. In reality, allowing yourself to learn is one of the fastest ways to develop confidence and discernment.
Does intuition mean you'll always be correct?
No. Intuition is a skill that develops over time. Learning to interpret what you perceive accurately is just as important as receiving the impression itself.
If you've been hesitant to trust your intuition because you're afraid of making mistakes, know that every experienced intuitive began exactly where you are now. The Mohr Method of Healing® Reiki Training System teaches intuition step by step, helping you strengthen your confidence, develop discernment, and recognize that every experience—even the unexpected ones—is an opportunity to learn and grow. 🩷
