Hello Mo's, Ho's and you few hetero's...this months Cosmo got me thinking about when we should learn to trust our gut. I took the quiz in the back and based on my score I have 'Awesome Instincts' - You and your intuition are like BFFs: super in tune. Our instincts play a HUGE part in how we react to situations and what we choose to wear, eat and whom to be friends with on a day-to-day basis. Some people are afraid to trust theirs due to how they were raised or what their society or religion tells them is wrong. Instinct is an INNATE part of who we are, by not trusting them you are not trusting yourself; therefore not living life to it's fullest.
Some situations will give you butterflies upon first reaction and may even be a little scary, causing your first reaction to shy away and say no. How do you know that you aren't passing up some life changing experience? I'm not saying to go all cavalier and throw all caution to the wind, but trust your instincts they will never steer you wrong.
I have been in many a awkward scenario and wouldn't change anything that I have done. I have met soo many good friends and experienced soo many awesome things, somethings I will never forget. One specific night comes to mind. Years ago my husband, a good friend and myself were in San Francisco visiting some friends and were on our way out to a club one night. We were going to walk to the club, as it was only minutes from our hotel, but decided to take a cab. Turned out the cabby knew the door guy and got us in free. While in the club we met up with our friends and started our night out. Throughout the midst of the night we met soo many cool people, some most would shy away from talking with based solely on their appearance, but we ended up going to a private club and got to experience the sun rise over the Golden Gate Bridge, something like I've never seen before. By trusting my instincts I got to experience a night out like no other and in the process made some pretty awesome friends I still keep in touch with.
Now I understand most peoples "risk taking" ratio is lower than others and I wouldn't expect anyone to do anything that would put them in harms way. I would ask that once, just once take that risk and see what lies on the other side of the looking glass Alice. Don't go through life with blinders on because you'll never know what opportunity or friend you may be passing up. As always my loves take care of one another and make each day count remembering to leave your mark on the world and make it one that counts!!!!
