A sample of my "ramblings"…

Posted by on December 14, 2009

So I’ve been doing a lot of writing lately and I think I have the jist of what I want to write about done. Now it’s all a matter of formatting and all that jazz. Hopefully, when it’s done, I have something decent for folks to read and either laugh at, or contemplate.

Regardless, I figured I’d share a small blurb from it to give you an idea of what I’ve been writing about.

What does your instinct tell you to do? Maybe you don’t realize what it is, but we all know we have felt it inside of us in some fashion. Most people refer to it as their “gut”. A mysterious, unexplained feeling that we get inside of us that pushes us into one direction versus another. That nagging voice in the back of your head that tells us we are doing something wrong or that you should be doing something else. That gut feeling is your instinct talking to you and this is where “gut theory” comes from. The real key is being able to identify what it’s telling you.

There have been countless instances where I have been told, or heard others say, that they want to go with their gut instinct but they don’t know what that instinct is. They seem to have an inability to determine what it is their gut is telling them so they simply “guess” at it and hope they are right. It is my opinion that your gut feeling is always as clear as crystal. It’s merely the expectations and weight of our worldly responsibilities that interfere in our ability to read our gut correctly. Whether it be the pressures of your work environment, or your personal relationships, all interactions with the world around us influence our behavior and thusly affects how we interpret what our gut is telling us. Since we also have free will, perhaps your gut is telling you to do one thing when in fact you really want to do something else. How many times have you had a feeling inside that was telling you that you really should go do task A but instead you did task B or decided not to do either task. You ignored what your gut told you because it conflicted with the things you personally wanted to do. When you think back on those instances, how did it turn out for you?

Just a little nugget for you. I might post more of these as I get closer to putting the whole thing out. Stay tuned.
