“Sometimes you have to take the leap, and build your wings on the way down.” -Kobi Yamada
Have you ever had a “hunch” about something? You know, that gut feeling that has words on the tip of your tongue, or an action you think you should do, but you squelch it? Then days, weeks, or months go by-and you realize the intuition you ignored was right? Maybe you had a reason to ignore it. Maybe everyone else disagreed with you and you couldn’t find one fan of your idea or action. Maybe self-doubt got in the way, or fear, or anxiety. Whatever the reason, you ignored the hunch, only to learn later, that it was there for good reason.
Maybe the only thing more frustrating than not knowing an answer is realizing we knew the answer but didn’t act on it. For whatever reason, we didn’t listen to intuition’s whisper.
Kobi’s quote reminds me that intuition always has a purpose, though sometimes we can’t see it right away. But these “heart messages” should be heeded and considered. Even without support, sometimes we have to “Take the leap and build our wings on the way down.”
Is there anything in your life right now where you have that “gut instinct” about what to do next? Take a moment today and honor that intuition. Listen to it; don’t squelch it. These moments of intuition are blessings about the directions we need to take in our lives.
