Listen to your inner voice
Even if it speaks to us softly and faintly, we should always listen to our inner voice. It may give us an important warning. These warnings - a.k.a. gut feelings - often tell us that something's not quite right with what we have just been told or have just experienced. If our inner voice tells us that we should not get involved with certain people, projects, or investments then we have to take it seriously. If we ignore it, we may live to regret it.
To see things in the seed, that is genius.
- Lao-Tzu
Your mind knows only some things. Your inner voice, your instinct, knows everything.
If you listen to what you know instinctively, it will always lead you down the right path.
- Henry Winkler
But if these warnings are so important, why do we ignore them? Perhaps because they are so faint that it's easy to brush them off. Or because heeding them would require us to go against our own desires. Or because we're too concerned about someone else's feelings. Start taking your inner voice more seriously and listen to it intently until you can hear it clearly. Then reassess the situation. If you inner voice quiets down, proceed as planned. If it gets even stronger, plan a new course of action.
Has your inner voice whispered to you recently? Listen harder. Make sure you hear it clearly!
