What makes people want to take risks like
Eat exotic foods,
Leave a stable job to start a business,
Or even take a trip to a faraway land?
Â
In a word…feelings
Â
Today I’d like to talk to you about how
You can use your emotions and feelings to
Intuitively create the good life without
Overthinking every single decision.
Â
Ok so first, let me tell you there areÂ
An infinite number of decisions that
You can make, but only 2 ways to get there…
Through rational thought
Or irrational thought.
Â
I’m sure you can imagine that the mostÂ
Exciting times in anyone’s life are lived outside
The realm of rational thinking.Â
But I’m not proposing that you go out and do
Whatever comes to mind,Â
However, I would like you to consider
What irrationality can do for your life.
Â
Imagine your boss walks in and asks you to
Work harder at being a better employee
Or else you’re fired tomorrow, then walks off…
Â
You’d probably not even know what
To do or where to start.
Maybe you’d take a look at the company’s
List of values like
Loyalty, hope, innovation, or cooperation.
Â
The only problem is that those are inactionable
You can’t be innovation or cooperation
It’s not always helpful to think with our
Rational mind
Â
There are four things that we always will have
Will always drive us to our achieve.
Hopes
Dreams
Hearts and
Guts
Â
There is an art and a science to getting the
Results you want and it starts with trusting
Your instincts.
Â
There is a reason why people say something
Feels right and it’s along the same lines
As why leaders try to win our hearts and minds
Rather than our minds and hearts.
Â
Our rational part of our brain controls speech
But it’s our irrational subconscious that really
Is in tune with our true selves.
Â
Â
Your gut is talking to you and telling you what
To do everyday. It wants you to listen to your heart
It wants you to feel confident
But most of all, it just wants to be express itself
And unlike the rational mind, it
Unfortunately, can’t do that with words.
Â
So trust yourself, because there is no amount of
Research that is going to get you to make a better
Decision than the one you can make in your
Gut.
