Youve heard of a womans intuition, right..?
First, it really does exist and second, and as a matter of fact, it isnt just women sorry bout that ladies that have this particular power and experience itmen and even kids experience it and use it on a pretty regular basis tooso, in essence we all use it and more often than not, without even realising it.
Yep, that gut-feeling, when you KNOW someones BS-ing you especially when its someone you know so well, someone very closethat gut-feeling when you just KNOW the idiot driver of that car hasnt looked your way before he pulls out in front of you at that intersectionthat gut-feeling when you KNOW somethings a little out-of-whack with that supposed investment opportunity etc. etc. etc.
The question is: Does gut-feeling or intuition if you like, enhance or improve your life in any way..?
Cutting To The Chase:
As far as im concerned and of course, millions of others men, women, children, the old and the young alike, the answer to this question is a resounding and very loud YES ABSOLUTELYit has helped and continues to help a lot of people in many different ways
and not just us ordinary, everyday citizens of the world soldiers and policemen very often gain what they call a gut-feeling or sixth sense or an instinct about the situation or place they are in or the case theyre investigating, which very often saves not just their own lives and the lives of their team members, but also the lives of countless innocents!
Then of course you have the entrepreneur or the astute businessman or business-woman who never appears to make any real bad business or financial decisions (unlike myself but thats another story) but just keeps building up assets, money in the bank and influence in their chosen fields of endeavour.
So, What Is It..?
According to Dictionary.com, intuition is:
direct perception of truth, fact, etc., independent of any reasoning process; immediate apprehension.
and: a keen and quick insight.
Basically, when youre using your intellect your mind, youre being fully rational, physically calculating and crossing all the Ts and dotting all the Is, whereas when your intuition, that gut-feeling kicks in, your instincts are stronger than your intellect and arise from a whole different place of knowledge and wisdom its said by some that ancestral memories play a big part in what we know as Intuition..!
The Positives For Using Your Intuition
Its empoweringas simple as that you instinctively know that everything you need to live a happy and fulfilled life of your own design, is already within you, is part of your psycheyou already know all the answers for being successful in every aspect of your life the great job, the strongest relationships, the best health.
Going with your gut-feeling means youre always going to be making the right choice for you, which in turn ensures you gain and retain self-confidence and an absolute trust in your own decisions.
When you FEEL, or when you instinctively KNOW, that something is either wrong or right, then the success you dream of will absolutely become a reality knowing youre decision is the best decision for you is always a confidence booster and self-confident people are always successful..!
A Final Anecdote:
Although everybody has the ability, it isnt everybody that can fully open their minds and give themselves over to their intuitive or instinctual nature, mainly due to modern day education and way of lifewere educated by the media and told what we MUST do and then were told HOW we must act by our peers.
Stop listening to others and start listening to your inner-selfalways trust your gut-feelingyoull be amazed by how often that intuitive, but persistent, inner-voice is on-the-money its a very efficient weapon for fighting against the wrong decisions for you and your chosen road ahead.

Albert Einstein had this to say:
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servantWe have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift..!
