prescience - noun - knowledge of things before they exist
Prescience is under the nomenclature of "Perception," something that is not without a degree of subjectivity. Some individuals that are enormously intuitive have the gift of prescience. Personally, I think that common sense and life experience play a role in prescience as well, two traits that cut into the ranks of those that possess the traits by a large margin.
However, being in a minority of any kind is sometimes a curse. For instance, if you are blessed with prescience, most people tend not to believe your predictions or simply laugh them off even if you have a history of accuracy, which they frequently forget. This is probably because perceiving the present or yourself precisely is hard enough as it is.
But maybe that's the point. Instead of concentrating on the future, perhaps most would benefit if they lived in the present and focused on perceiving themselves correctly. I know. This is nearly impossible because of how humans are constructed, like drivers looking forward at what is in the distance through the windshield or backwards via the rearview mirror, not really noticing the scenery that is right before them.
If you are one of legions who has a hard time with self-awareness, you might wish to ask a trusted friend, the person riding shotgun in your life, if you are viewing yourself truthfully and then take time to listen and embrace. You may be better off once you take the blinders off. In any case, you could be prescient and avoid an accident.
