In this week’s MondayMotivator,
American poet Oliver Wendell Homes once wrote, “A moment’s insight is sometimes worth a life’s experience.”
What is this insight? Intuition.
That’s the spidey tingle that tells you to move or leave a situation or even not say what you were about to.
Intuition isn’t something you can rationalise or ‘understand’ through learning. It is a spiritual thing. A connection to yourself and the environment you’re in thing.
You receive intuitive signals about many situations, e.g., when you experience or discover something good or bad. Maybe it’s when an opportunity comes upon you, or you feel inspired to do something.
Have you ever experienced some loss and afterwards recall that intuitive thought that told you to back off and you didn’t?
Likewise, when you saw an opportunity and decided not to take the chance, yet your inner voice told you to jump? Then, you realise that you missed a massive opportunity to change the trajectory of your life.
A caveat, though, is that your intuition needs to be trained. It’s not going to be right from the get-go. You need to test and train yourself to know whether what you’re feeling is intuition or last night’s curry. But be open to that part of you called intuition because you can enrich your life through it.
To implement this, think, “How often have I ignored my intuition and regretted it afterwards? I will make my life richer by using this inner power.”
