“Intuition is the whisper of the soul” and I have this unusual capability of intuitive thinking. This ability has helped me in various ways- the most important one being decision making. In an unfamiliar and complex situation, I am able to make decisions promptly and effectively, thanks to this capability.
In the due course of years, I have noticed that my intuition on several things has turned out to be correct -for example in my high school years I had auditioned for two clubs – photography and dance. The photography club auditions were more competitive as there were many candidates but there were not as many candidates for the dance club. My intuition told me that I will make it to the photography club but my chances for dance class was bleak. As expected, my intuition proved me right and I got selected in the former. This thought that I considered being my intuition could have been that my passion for photography was more than that of dance, therefore somehow my subconscious mind propelled me to think positively about it and maybe that’s the reason my intuition turned out to be correct. You get what your heart truly desires and so I feel if intuitively I think positively about something it is because my heart wants it bad and so I put in my full effort to acquire it.
Relying on my intuition has helped me to be more open to ideas as I feel that my rational mind that mostly relies on logic is limited at times. Intuition on the other hand allows me to recognize new and exciting opportunities. I have often felt that my intuition has helped me recognize the things that I actually desire to do- those dreams that have a true connection with myself and my core values as well as tat times those are the dreams that I am afraid of pursuing.
Other than helping me identify my wants, it has also acted as a cautionary element and to a certain extent has allowed me to read people if not 100% accurately but at least to a certain extent. Recently during my summer holidays last year, I decided to pursue an internship to strengthen my work experience. I gave an interview for a student-based organisation, while the organisation spoke a lot of being charitable and being in community service, yet the body language of the interviewer made me think that this may not be the right place and true on deeper research I found out that this was one of the fake NGOs with no genuine work being done.
Overall, intuitive thinking has given me access to deeper intelligence and wisdom and it has been a positive factor in my life. However, I am aware that intuition has its limits and cannot be always correct and that is why I apply my intuition that complements my rational decision-making process. This lets me explore both my instinct and tactical thinking.
