or something like that.

How often do you listen to your intuition? How does it effect you?

For me, I know immediately what my instincts are trying to tell me. Usually it’s “get the fuck out of here” or “this is exactly where you need to be right now.” Of course, I do not believe in coincidences and I feel very strongly that we are all put somewhere for a reason. However, it’s what we do after we get there that we have to take the wheel out of destiny’s hands. It’s what we decide to do inside of our travels that really shapes the direction that our next step will take. 

I learned something last night. I learned that sometimes you have to step out of your comfort level and shock yourself to appreciate what it is that you have and you love. I’ve learned this many of times, but sometimes that reminder feels like the initial moment and your hit with a slug to the stomach and a slap to the face…reality shouting at you to wake up. 

I thought I was starting out the new year in a different way…one that would offer more means to money and a slight change of schedule with a second job. Instead, I started out the new year on a much more significant level. One where I realize that I have absolutely everything that I need to succeed, I just have to utilize it more creatively and effectively. I learned an important lesson about time management, appreciation for my talent, skill, education and intuition, but mostly, I learned that I could not have a more supportive and understanding teammate. 

Come on, 2012. I knew it was going to be good, but now I’m ready to kick your ass.
