Daily Prompt

One time, I was assisting a friend who was delivering packages for Amazon when we walked up on a person’s lawn to complete a delivery. The delivery occurred at night, and suddenly a dog charged toward us. Instead of running or panicking, I stood completely still. My intuition immediately told me to put my hand out, signal for the dog to stop, and firmly say, “Stop!”

To my surprise, the dog halted mid-charge as if it had been caught off guard. A moment later, someone came out of the house and retrieved it. Experiences like that have reinforced my belief in trusting my instincts. I don’t run from dogs or try to show fear—I stand my ground and listen to what my intuition tells me to do.
