One of the more mysterious aspects of being human is our sense of intuition. This "sixth sense" isn't something we can see or measure, but many people have experienced it in some fashion. Maybe it comes as a strong feeling that something isn't right, or that we or someone should do something. It can be hard to read—not every feeling we get is truly our intuition—but there are plenty of examples of people trusting their instincts and being glad they did.One such story has gone viral on TikTok. Jessica Higgs, a mom who works as an Instacart grocery delivery person, shared a story in an emotional video that illustrates the importance of listening to that inner voice when it prompts you to make sure someone is OK.Jessica Higgins shared an important video on listening to your inner voice"I just want to start this off by saying if you see something, say something," Higgs said.She explained that she had placed an Instacart order the previous day for a daughter ordering for her older dad, who couldn't shop for himself. She said she was going the extra mile, as she always does for her customers, and that the daughter told her to just drop the groceries on the porch and he'd get them. That's what Higgs would usually do."I get there, and something was telling me no, you gotta help this man out," she said. "He came out, and I was like, 'OK let me help you, and I got the groceries. You're not supposed to go into someone's house, but I used my judgment and I brought the groceries inside and put them down wherever he wanted me to put them down. You're not supposed to, but I did. And you're supposed to just take a picture and leave, and I could not just leave." @jessicahiggs3 @Instacart #28DaysOfEucerin #fyp Higgs noticed that the man looked really sick, and she was really concerned. A voice in her head said, "You gotta say something. You gotta say something, Jess." Rather than mark the order as complete, she messaged the man's daughter, saying it was really unprofessional to say something like that, but she felt her dad wasn't doing well. "There's a propane tank in there," she told the woman. "I was in there maybe five feet, and I got dizzy. There's got to be a leak. He might not be doing good because of this leak."Although can be highly dangerous because, if you're breathing in large amounts, it can displace your oxygen intake and lead you to become nauseous, dizzy, and pass out. In severe cases, it could lead to stroke, coma, or death. By listening to her inner voice, Higgins saved a lifeThe woman said she would send her son over to check it out and Higgs left. The woman changed her tip from $14 to $100, which Higgs appreciated, but the message she sent her the next morning was a much greater reward for her going the extra mile. "Thank you so much, once my son went to check on my dad it turned out it was definitely leaking," she wrote. "You definitely saved my dad and my younger son's life!!!"Through tears, Higgs said, "I'm just an Instacart worker, but if you see something, say something. I did, and I'm so happy I did."Higgs' TikTok has been viewed more than 15 million times and has been shared widely on social media. It has also attracted the attention of big companies.Royal Caribbean Cruises shared a TikTok video of its own praising Higgs for her heroic act and offering her and her family a seven-day cruise anywhere in the world. "Cause even heroes need a vacation," the company wrote. @royalcaribbean Stitch with @jessicahiggs3 - cause even heroes need a vacation. Thanks @captaincruiseguy Old Navy connected with her and arranged a shopping spree during which she modeled several new outfits. People Magazine commented, "You’re literally a HERO! Good job trusting your instincts. ?" Even TikTok itself wrote, "You are amazing ❤️thank you for sharing this with all of us."Lots of commenters also pointed out that she's not "just an Instacart worker." Her work is important; she's providing a needed service, and any job done in a spirit of helping others should not be minimized. If she hadn't been there doing her job well, that man may not be here. Never underestimate the difference each of us can make by the simple act of looking out for one another, friend and stranger alike."You are more than an Instacart worker my darling, your an angel. you were supposed to be there in that moment," Ophelia wrote in the comments. "I am sobbing. You are so much more than an Instacart worker! You’re a beautiful person! I’m so glad you were there," Paige added.Higgs' heartfelt story touched millions, and she's being rightly rewarded for listening to her heart and going out of her way to help someone. Gotta love seeing good things come to those who do good. Well done, Jessica Higgs.This article originally appeared three years ago.

A lot of people can sing, but not many people can make a room stand still with their voice. Sometimes a person opens their mouth and magic comes out, mesmerizing everyone within earshot. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what qualities make a voice transcend the average and transfix an audience, but we know it when we hear it. Enter Shawn Louisiana. A video of him singing in a barbershop went viral in 2021, and it's definitely worth a watch. Louisiana wrote on YouTube, "The older guy didn't think I could pull off a Sam Cooke song," but when he started singing "A Change is Gonna Come," he definitely proved that he could. Really well. Like, whoa.Watch: - YouTube youtu.be People in the comments gushed over his voice:"From laughter to silence to praise... That boy was killing them notes... salute.""This young man has real talent. He has the intensity .. not just the notes. If you can sit on a stool in a barber shop and let this fly, be assured you’re taking the rest of us with you. Great respect.""AMAZING! I love how the ENTIRE room got quiet during his performance. You could tell every single person there was thoroughly enjoying/feeling the music. I love Sam Cooke and all the wonderful people in this world who appreciate great music.""It was like Sam tapped him on the shoulder and said, 'brother sing my song and make me proud.'" — (@) Cooke, aka the "King of Soul," was known for his warm, smooth, velvety vocals that came completely effortlessly, whether he was singing pop, soul or gospel pieces. And he was able to deliver this heavenly sound live, with zero help from tech, night after night. It's a feat we don't often get to witness anymore. But, as Louisiana proves, this talent still very much exists.As one viewer put it, "it was like Sam tapped him on the shoulder and said, 'brother sing my song and make me proud.'"By the way, Louisiana is no one-hit wonder. He frequently shares videos of himself just singing casually for the camera. Just listen to this "Stand By Me" cover. Like butter. Sing us to sleep, sir. - YouTube youtu.be Since achieving viral fame, Louisiana got to perform on the farewell episode of the Ellen DeGeneres show, singing "Tennessee Whiskey" like he was born to do it: - YouTube youtu.be The clamoring for Louisiana to get a recording deal that followed his viral fame was heard and answered. In the summer of 2025, Louisiana released a single titled "Greener Grass," which can be found on Spotify along with two other songs. He is still gracing the internet with his vocal chops for free, which is a gift, frankly. People often make requests, and Louisiana sometimes obliges. For instance, here he is singing Al Green's "For the Good Times" on his TikTok channel: @shawnlouisiana #algreen #fypシ #cover #texas #viral For more from Shawn Louisiana, follow him on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.This article originally appeared four years ago.
