Brains Are Overrated

Apr 2, 2023
1 min read

At this time in my life, with every vow I make and every stand I take, I listen to my gut feelings, my intuition and my inner intelligence much more than I do common knowledge, popular opinion, or advice from people who have never experienced what ever it is I’m confronting. Sometimes I hit the jackpot, sometimes I don’t. However, here’s when I really pay close attention to the simple warnings of my “inner acumen”:

— When it says: “This is wrong!”

— When it says: “You’re in danger!”

— When it says: “Walk Away!”— When it says: “Don’t eat that!”— When it says: “Don’t sign that!”—

When it says: “You should help this person!”

— When it says: “Avoid this person!”

— When it says: “Call 911!”

— When it says: “Don’t Think!”

I also consult my inner intelligence after I have completely digested all the facts, OR when I have absolutely no facts to go on.
