There was a point last year where, for some reason I couldn't quite say, I felt like I *had* to go out to the skating rink... But when we got there, I didn't really feel like skating, but felt compelled to stay.

A girl fell and broke her leg, I was the first person to stop beside her and the only one to keep her calm until the EMTs arrived.

So... Yes, I agree. Instead of being forceful, some things come as a nudge. I've felt the same kind of odd compulsion to talk to random people, only to find out they're having a very rough time and that something I said or was able to do helped to make it better. I think, no matter what a person's outlook is on religion, spirituality, or life, if everyone were open to those little nudges in the right direction the world would be a much better place.
