Truth #10 - Instincts

"You will know (the good from the bad) when you are calm, at peace." - Yoda


“intuition is always right in at least two important ways;
It is always in response to something.
it always has your best interest at heart”
Gavin De Becker, The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence

People don't pay enough attention to their instincts. If it feels wrong it usually is.  Don't sell yourself short. You control how you act upon your instinct, but instinct itself is natural.  It is in all living beings in one form or another.  But, some people are more open to themselves than others.  If you don't love yourself, then you probably don't listen to yourself.  What is that?  If you are addicted to something harmful to yourself or others then you don't love yourself.  Your mind and body will tell you what you need, but if you have allot of shit in your head and don't even know you are harming yourself then you will not know how to listen, let alone love,  yourself.  Instinct is the voice that tells us what is right and good for ourselves.  Listen!

It is said God's favorite angel was Lucifer until he rebelled against God.  God then created Hell to hold Lucifer and his fallen angels.  God then sent Michael the Archangel to drive Lucifer and his dark angels into Hell.  So, God created Hell and the Devil.

There are parts of my life when i ignore my instincts and others when I listen allot.  At work I am very instinct driven.  My instinct has always guided me to success.  It tells me when to push and risk.  It gives me that vibe when something is not right about a person.  Are they lieing, are they dangerous, do I need to keep looking, is it a dead end?  These are all things my instinct helps me with. My instinct at work gets it done.
