Instincts

There have been so many times in my life when I have felt a great deal of anxiety. It’s obviously expected when making big life decisions. As nervous and uneasy as I become, I always try to remember to have faith and believe that everything will happen for a reason and the way it is meant to work out. Sleepless nights, stomach aches, and severe indecisiveness, are all side effects of life altering changes. But no matter what, when I look back, I know and truly believe that I have followed my instincts. No matter how much doubt and anxiety I have had, when I look back I have no regrets in the decisions that I have made. More importantly I try to find the lesson and value of the past that helps me appreciate my journey and the decisions I have made.

Sometimes impatience and the anxiety can override our faith in God and fate. It’s the inability to know what the right decision is and accepting the consequences of making a wrong turn that make everyone shake in fear. Sometimes having blind faith and believing in our instincts is all that we can do and all that we can control. If you listen to your heart and have faith, you can overcome your over analytical brain and listen to the emotions that are potentially going to serve you better. You have to do what feels right for you and not always listen to what others think or what you think others will think (as Jay Shetty calls it - Noise). Listen to yourself and let your natural instincts and intuition be your guide, not the noise. Understand that each phase of our life has different requirements and we have to make changes and evolve. It’s your life, your decisions! You have to choose and put faith in what you believe in. Follow your instincts!
