Is this a guide?

[Captain Cloudchaser]

Okay, I've always felt like I've had an intuition, or that there has been something guiding me, or that I never feel alone when I am, it was this feeling in the back of my head that stopped me from calling myself a atheist. I'm not spiritually intuned, I don't meditate, but I do think a lot; it's part of my very introspective personality

Sometimes I hear a voice which sounds like intuition, but I'm not sure if it is imagination, ego, or whatever. I wonder if maybe it is a spirit guide trying to help me, again, I am new to this kinda stuff..

I don't listen to my intuition. Partly because it seems to be quiet, especially among the noise of my own thoughts. I find that if I start going down a wrong path or become somewhat self-destructive that this inner voice will shout at me. Not in a angry way, but like yelling across a crowded room to get my attention. For example, lately I've been trying to be someone I am not, and it felt like my 'intuition' had to drag me back on the right track and remind me who I am.

Do spirit guides only step in when you're doing something wrong? I don't seem to get any positive confirmation that what I am doing is the right track, I only hear them when I'm doing something else. It's not terribly helpful! Another example; I'm trying to decide on what course to take at university next year. I'm not getting anything about certain courses I want to take, but on others, which seem like they would be enjoyable, but perhaps not serve my 'purpose', my intuition had to yell at me again; "Don't study that course, that's not what you're supposed to be doing!" but it's not helping me decide on what I should be doing

Another thing that has plagued me is my own marriage. Right from the very start, an inner voice was saying "This relationship is wrong" and that doubt has been with me all the way through, popping up every now and then, casting doubt over everything. My hubby is a great man, and fun to be with, I don't doubt that he'll ever run off with someone else, but I can't work out if this voice, which keeps coming back, is my ego trying to ruin my life, or my intuition telling me to live my own life. I suppose that is a different thing altogether though ^^

Thanks for any input though, if I can work out what that voice is, maybe I'll listen to it.. Or ignore it more

Now I think about it, my 'intuition' always seems to be right about everything. But it only ever pops up to tell me what I am doing wrong, and not right, is that how spirit guides work??
