I think sometimes it is a little more than just our own actions. People of faith or high intuition often feel "led" to do something, they don't know why...and then they find out that it was a blessing that things unfolded the way they did.
Parents often have a gut feeling to protect their children and then find out that something would have probably happened had they not.
Sometimes people wake up and don't know why and then something horrible happens where they NEEDED to be awake to stop it.
A few times this has happened to me.
The week before my dad died, we were planning a family get together as my brother was home from basic training in the Army. We hadn't all been together in a while. I almost didn't go because things just kept happening to prevent me from making it easy. But I did, and it was great, and he was dead the next week.
I was shopping in the grocery store one day, had a cart full of groceries, almost all the way through the store, when I had this feeling I should just leave my cart where it was and LEAVE the store. I knew this would make work for someone and was pretty rude but I don't do stuff like that all the time. I couldn't shake the feeling and I did leave the store and abandoned my cart. Later that night, I saw on the news where the store had been robbed right after I left.
Right after college I was struggling with 3 jobs. 1 was part time second shift, 1 was part time third shift, and 1 was fulltime day shift. I don't know how I did it, except I had different days off so sometimes I could be home to sleep and take care of things...and I was younger! The day job was 10 hours a day weekdays as a babysitter for an infant. One day I just fell asleep sitting on the couch and the baby was toddling around. I woke up just in time to go looking for the baby and found him at the top of the basement stairs, just about to topple down them.
My mom recently died, but she was in the hospital for several months beforehand. During that time of hospitalization, HER dad passed away. We waited a couple days to tell her, afraid how it would affect HER health and hope, and then my brother and I broke the news to her. She said, I know. I woke up in the middle of the night and was thinking about him. I figured something had happened. It's okay.
So yes, I believe these things happen. What you call it depends on what you believe in to explain it. I call it divine.

That happens to me sometimes.
I will do or not do something because I have get this gut instinct that tells me I should or shouldn't do it.
At the time I may not know why I am doing or not doing that something.
Then later on down the track I will realise why it was a good idea .
Can you understand that?
I will give you an example of an actual time this happened;
My father was giving my brother and I a very hard time. He was basically making life very miserable for us.
My brother and I thought about moving out of home and renting a place together. We started looking. We only inspected one unit, and my brother was ready to sign on the dotted line. He asked me what I thought. My gut started getting this horrible churning feeling, which from experience meant it wouldn't be a good idea. So I said no. I didn't know why at the time, cause I love my brother and we have always been good mates.
On the way home, I told my brother I did not want to rent a place with him because I was unemployed and I didn't know if I could afford my share of the rent.
A few months later I realised that wasn't the reason. The reason was because he wasn't very responsible with money, and I would have had to pay his share of the rent.
The reason I always listen to what mny gut instinct says is because it has a 100% success rate.
I don't know about you but I certainly can't beat those odds.
I really don't know why my gut instinct knows in advance why something is a good or bad idea. It just does. So who am I to argue
