Every once in a while, the energetic universe gives you a gift.<\/p>\n

Let me step back a minute.
\nIntuition.\u00a0 I think this is a human quality which is largely overlooked.\u00a0 In fact, it is dismissed in most cases.<\/p>\n

Many tremendous thinkers throughout history have stressed the importance of intuition.\u00a0 I mean, big hearty thinkers\u2026 like “Call Me Al” Einstein, and Carly Jung, Immanuel Kant have even gone so far as to define intuition as \u2018a priori\u2019 knowledge.\u00a0 They consider intuition\u00a0 as a fundamental and indispensable aspect of human nature.<\/p>\n

Being the \u201ctwo sides to every story\u201d woman that I am\u2026. I\u2019ll tell you this.\u00a0 There are those scientists and psychologists who have explained intuition away by lumping it in the same category as animal instinct. They place way more weight on reason. Personally\u2026 I am a great big FAN of reason. Yet\u2026 reason has been known to fail us from time to time.<\/p>\n

But I put forward this notion which I think I share with others.\u00a0 Intuition and reason do not stand in two separate buildings\u2026. they do not stand against one another. They are both a part of us\u2026 and one was never meant to supplant the other.\u00a0 It is like peanut butter and jelly.\u00a0 They are completely different, but they go together so nicely.<\/p>\n

Intuition is a process of receiving information or insight.\u00a0 But, it doesn\u2019t rely on\u00a0 rationalization. It is sort of how we how we interact with the unfathomable.\u00a0 It is how we interface with our Higher Self.\u00a0 Some people call it our soul, or our Consciousness.\u00a0 And it is that part of us that unites us all.<\/p>\n

So what I am trying to say is this.\u00a0 Intuition is a powerful tool.\u00a0 It is the side of us that can give us the inside glimpse.\u00a0 The Scoop of the Magical.\u00a0\u00a0 The big \u201cHoly-Smokes!-I-never-looked-at-it-that-way-before!\u201d kind of moments.<\/p>\n

Back to my first line\u2026 about the gift.\u00a0 I was in my car late yesterday evening\u2026 coming home from a meeting.\u00a0 When I got home and opened the car door\u2026 this \u201cpiece of paper\u201d was in my lap.\u00a0 I thought\u2026 what the heck?\u00a0\u00a0 Then I picked it up and read it. \u201cWhen you have answered all the questions, you may remove this stub.”<\/p>\n

Then\u2026 I really said\u2026 \u201cWhat the heck!”<\/p>\n

I have no idea where this came from.\u00a0 But rest assured, I have not answered all the questions, so clearly I did not remove the stub from its source.\u00a0 However\u2026 it brought me to this.<\/p>\n

Someone, out there somewhere\u2026 HAS answered all the questions.\u00a0 So they removed the stub.\u00a0 And the universe put it in my lap.\u00a0 I\u2019m calling this an intuitive gift.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what it means\u2026 but I\u2019m not going to try to reason it out.\u00a0 I\u2019m simply going to wait\u2026 and keep my \u201cSneaky Suspicion Meter\u201d handy at my side.<\/p>\n

I should also be clear.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want all the answers.\u00a0 But I am glad I have the stub.\u00a0 It is probably as close as I am going to get.<\/p>\n

A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.\u00a0 \u2014\u00a0 Maya Angelou <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The comfort zone is the great enemy to creativity; moving beyond it necessitates intuition, which in turn <\/strong><\/em>
