“Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself.
-Oprah Winfrey

Oprah says wisdom manifests when you follow your instincts. Oh, Oprah...if it were only that easy. But I guess she didn't say it was easy, did she?

I've been doing a lot of thinking about intuition. Actually, too much thinking about it. I may be overintellectualizing it. And under-sensing it. Whatever I'm doing, I have questions. This post is simply a list of my questions.

  1. How do you know what's intuition and what's fear? Anxiety has guided many of my decisions throughout my life. How can I be sure that what I might call intuition isn't anxiety in disguise?
  2. Related...what's my inner authority voice and what's the voice of my wounded inner child? My inner child, like anxiety, is a sneaky little thing. 
  3. How can you tell if you're following your intuition or rationalizing decisions? Do intuition and reason work together?
  4. What happens if you think you're following your intuition and things go bad? And how do you know if things really are bad?
  5. How do you distinguish between your intuition, the ancestors, and the voice of God?
  6. How can I be guided if I don't know who/what to listen to?
  7. How can I cultivate recognition and trust in my intuition?

Alright. Anyone who can answer my questions wins the prize of helping me manifest wisdom like Oprah.
