Have you ever had a ‘gut feeling’? Of course you have. Did you know there’s gathering scientific data to back up the ‘gut feeling’?
The greatest advise I can give you is learn to listen to you, learn to feel your gut feeling(s) and learn to trust them.
“THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE IS … LEARN TO FEEL YOUR GUT FEELING(S) AND LEARN TO TRUST THEM”
The only animal on Earth that is capable of, and exercises denial, are humans. The other animals on our planet don’t give a shit what you think, they act on instinct and what they have learned. They don’t care if it makes them look like a lunatic, they don’t care if you wag your tongue and talk shit on social media, all they know is that something triggered them and they acted on it.
This is something you will have to learn as well. You will need to learn how to trust yourself, your own judgment, and I dare say, learn to love yourself. Otherwise you may end up like so many others out here have, alcoholics, addicts and fiends. Folks who for one reason or another can’t or won’t face themselves and the fears that drive them to distraction. It actually doesn’t matter how far you go on your boat, you find times when there is nothing else but the sounds and sites of nature around you and your own thoughts. If you don’t love you, and you aren’t willing to learn how to love yourself, well chances are you might end up
I was lucky enough to meet someone who inspired me to take a closer look at myself, and who can see if I am ok, or kick me in the ass, depending on what I need, and the good sense to know the difference between the two. A lot of us aren’t that lucky. If you aren’t that lucky, I hope that I can inspire you.
“YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT RUN AWAY FROM YOUR PROBLEMS ON A SMALL SAILBOAT”
Before you go through the rigors of earning, saving, learning, yearning, know this. You absolutely cannot run away from your problems on a small sailboat. Not only will those problems follow you, they will be amplified within your confines, no matter how large the sky is. You will sit and stew in your own juices of discontentment & unhappiness.
That is unless you choose to do something about it, and I’ll tell ya, the sooner the better.
Some people need to see a professional to get get us headed in the right direction, some us are already in the direction, and most of us know the direction we wish to move in, but for one reason or another don’t. This is when you should be listening to and acting on, your gut feeling(s).
If you ever feel that you may be lost, please feel free to use my contact information and reach out to me. I’ll help you the best I can.
Peace & Love
