Following Our Gut Feel!

Gut Feel is a guiding force we all have. It’s a combination of emotion, logic, and spirit. Gut Feel plays a major role in our lives and alerts us to circumstances and opportunities to encourage and give insight to ourselves and others. Sometimes it’s referred to as *Intuition, inner sense, instinct, or spiritual guide.* It is not loud and demanding, but a gentle prodding, pulsating within asking us to follow its lead. When we hear it, we have a choice to make. *We can either act on it or push it aside.*

Trusting our Gut Feel is risky and causes us to step outside the boundaries we have placed in our lives. By stepping outside those walls, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities for ourselves and others. Gut Feel is our most valuable asset, and one of our most unused senses. It's a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance of something. And we are only in charge of responding to our Gut Feel.

One thing I am sure of though is the importance of listening to the Gut Feel. The gentle prodding has never led me down the path of “I wish I would have.” It is the moments I tossed it aside that I end up kicking myself for not following through. I believe we are placed in one another’s life at the exact moment when we are needed. Sometimes, it will be a fleeting moment, a chance encounter in an airport or a restaurant. Other times it will open doors to lifelong relationships. It is in those first defining moments, we have a choice to make. *Do we step out and take a risk or will we turn away missing an opportunity? What about you?* Can you recall a time when your gut had you step outside your comfort zone?

Happy Sunday!! Keep Moving & Smiling!!🏃🏽😊

Be Authentic, Do Uncomfortable Work And Surrender To The Outcome!

This week I saw this Ted Talk about the above. I could relate to it so much to my Journey. Authenticity for me is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s all about the choice to show up and be real, to be and to let out true selves be seen. It is also about being true to who we really are. Authenticity is more than speaking; Authenticity is also about doing. Every decision we make says something about who we are. Authenticity starts in the heart. If we are our authentic selves, we will have no competition. I believe Hard times arouse an instinctive desire in us to Be Authentic. As a part of our uneasiness towards change, we tend to resist anything that feels uncomfortable, scary, different and new. We tend to play small even, to resist being seen and evaluated. To resist the unknown. Being Uncomfortable brings engagement and change. Doing Uncomfortable work means we’re doing something that others were unlikely to do because they’re hiding out in their comfort zo...

Let Our Strengths Become Our Unstoppable Advantage

Image
Activate to view larger image, Summary: True competitive advantage comes not from trying to be perfect at everything, but from doubling down on our unique strengths until they become unstoppable advantage. When we focus on maximizing what we're naturally great at rather than fixing every weakness, we create unfair advantages that can overcome any competition. Key Takeaways: - Doubling down on our core strength can be more powerful than trying to be well-rounded in all areas - Confidence in leveraging our unique abilities often matters more than having multiple average skills - Success comes from maximizing strengths rather than minimizing weaknesses This week, I came across a fascinating article about Sania Mirza's "unfair advantage" that resonated deeply with my own experiences in business and life. The article described how Sania, despite criticism about her fitness and agility compared to other players, dominated matches through one devastating strength - her powe...
