I almost always had better results when I listened to myself
Sometimes it felt like intuition
Sometimes it felt like arrogance
No matter what people thought of me
Whenever it was I who made the decision
I have been more likely to get my desired result
Now I see this in a clearer way
I shall explain with a memory
There was a time that someone borrowed my mechanical pencil
They kept breaking the lead tip
They realized I use more lead compared to them
They shortened it
That memory stayed in my mind
I was careful whether I used a mechanical pencil or wooden pencil
Now I am doing a lot of writing and
Somehow that memory appeared in my mind
As my hand was hurting with how much pressure I applied while writing
I used more lead to make sure that I don't use too much pressure while writing
I don't know or maybe I simply don't remember
Whether this is something I did with or without thinking
What I know is that their reaction was defining their preferences
I didn't need to change myself
Although being able to recognize even my smallest habits brings me joy
I have been writing in an uncomfortable way for years
I didn't need to internalize such a small thing and make something as small as that but also a big part of my life a problem
Something like this happened with an advice as well
I did as advised because I thought as they are more experienced than me what they say is more important
Things could turn out the way envisioned however there are too many variables in life and it didn't turn out the way either of us would prefer
My conclusion is that
People often give general advices
Those general advices stem from their experiences so
Even those general advices are a reflection of
Their choices
Their environment
Their luck
Their life
So unless someone actively tries to give us tailor-made advice we wont get the advice we need but we will get a peek at what got them where they are
I guess that is why people say take advice from those whose life you want to have.
Also I wanna add something that is related but not exactly part of it.
I once heard/read that our intuition is our experiences that we don't remember. Which is why we need to trust our intuition.
However, as it is also explained in a Ted Talk about luck although it would be a dream to have a gut feeling that always points us to the right direction the reality is far from that. Number -just ilke hips lol- don't lie.
What I am trying to say although we gotta follow our instincts what we need to do more is learn about all the other options and probabilities so that we can achieve our desired results.
How did you read all that?
Did you get everything out of your system?
