I believe I was around 4-5 years old. I was in the bathroom, by myself, with the door closed.

I went into the cabinet and pulled out the blow dryer. Then I filled the sink with water, and I was going to use the blow dryer to make bubbles in the water.

Literally three seconds before I put the blow dryer in the water (I had it in my hand, with my finger on the switch) my aunt opened the bathroom door, saw what I was doing, and stopped me.

Rescue

At that point she was probably shocked out of her mind, but she didn’t show it. She explained how dangerous it was to put electrical appliances in the water, and that I could’ve killed myself. I distinctly remember how calm she was about it.

Even at that young age (and without any fanfare) I realized that my aunt had saved my life. And that brief moment changed me. I just knew that what my aunt had done was part of her reason for being born.

Yes, I know it sounds odd for a child to have that thought. But it was such a moment of clarity. It was like my higher self showed me a big abstract picture, and I completely understood it.

Each and every one of us has the ability to be a divine bonfire in another persons life.

My question to you is, have you saved a life lately?

You were carefully placed on this earth to do just that. And if you haven’t already, one day you will.

Be ready.
