I have to wonder when something is a "bail out" vs. the Universe giving you an opportunity. How can you tell the difference? Is it due to the circumstances surrounding the event? A feeling in your gut? I have been thinking about this all night because something happened to put my mind in motion.

I have a very unique relationship with someone. We have this strange connection and, no matter how much time has passed we just seem to know when the other one needs either an ear or a shoulder. I don't know what it is, but I'm glad that the Universe is so kind in giving us connections like that, even if it can also cause serious hurt when things happen...  Anyway, once again it appears that something may line up for me through this person, but I am having a hard time accepting the reality of it. Part of me feels like I'm getting bailed out of a situation (which I've been bailed out of before in the same manner!) and that I'd be running from something vs. toward something. BUT, it could also be a door opening as well... Of course the possibility was mentioned in passing and may be nothing, but the whole thing got me wondering about the "Big Picture".

How do you differentiate between running away from something because it's bad to running toward something that's good for you? How do you know if a door is opening for you versus it being pried open for one reason or another? When is trusting your gut enough, and when should you let your head lead the way?
