“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

THE THING...

Have you ever had a situation or relationship or opportunity
that looked like the thing...smelled like the thing...walked like
it...talked like it...everything about it literally reeked of being the THING...

BUT

In the pit of your stomach you knew it wasn't?

And you have absolutely no rational justification to walk away
from whatever (or whomever) it is.

And you are left with a feeling of 'eating away at you dread' if you walk
toward whatever (or whomever) it is.

This can happen with everything from money making opportunities, relationships,
career moves etc.

When this happens your mind starts loudly arguing equally for 2 points...
one side of your brain shouts, 'WALK AWAY...you know it's not the THING
and if you go toward it you'll end up finding out at some point and you'll have
to run screaming into the hills...leaving only a dust cloud behind. Why waste your time?'

You are tempted by this side...because it has a point and knows you well.

BUT

The other side of you head whispers 4 words over and over and over and over and over...

'What if you're wrong? What if you're wrong? What if you're wrong?

You are equally as tempted by this argument because if you are human one of
your deepest fears is that you'll miss something.

So what do you do?

The final outcome has always been that my instinct was right...

So, the question I have for you is...

When you think back...has your gut or your head ultimately been right?

How can you use that to listen to your instincts and take inspired action in your life now?

A Strange Money Attitude

There is a strange money attitude that many people have--many more than you might expect. It is the desire that one's neighbors make less money. Well, to be generous we could say that the desire is to make more money than one's neighbors, but that would be quite the truth, at least according to the research done.
You see, it may seem strange, and like many people we might deny this feeling, but most people would rather be richer than the people around them than have more money themselves. This requires a short explanation that start with a question: Which situation would you rather have for yourself, an income of $50,000 per year while everyone around you made $25,000, or $100,000 annual income with everyone around you making $250,000? For the sake of these hypothetical examples we assume that the prices of products and services are the same in both scenarios.
Here is the amazing truth: When researchers in the field of behavioral economics ask this question, most people prefer the first option over the second. In case you didn't get that, most humans would prefer being poorer as long as their neighbors were even poorer than them
