Trust your instinct

Merriam-Webster defines Instinct as "a natural impulse". One friend of mine said, "when it doesn't flow naturally leave it alone."  In short, trust your instinct.

My dog went to obedience class when he was a puppy. One of the commands that he learned was "Leave it". I know it only works for dogs, but there should be an inner voice in us that tells us to "leave it" when your instinct tells you to leave it alone, or ignore.

There are a few things that happen in our lives that we really need to rely on signs, instinct or even advice from friends if we are suppose to believe, accept, do, or whatever it may be. It maybe a new job, shopping, friendship or even a relationship. Don't look at the obvious, dig deeper. Don't get excited about it right away, because, chances are, it's all superficial. At the end of the day, it's yourself that you will be kicking for falling for something that wasn't true to begin with.

But then again, you learn to live.

The simplest things can make you really happy

Sometimes, you don't need the greatest. You don't need the grandest. You can live a simple life. There are times when you don't have to experience the best either, as long as you're happy. You don't have to look for perfection, you have to look for what's perfect for you.


A simple dinner, a simple conversation, or sometimes, just sitting and not even talking. They say, "You say it best when you say nothing at all."  You can even just stare at your feet, or shoes. And maybe laugh about it. You'll be surprised, it does feel good. :)

As long as you are being true to yourself. Because in the end, who are you fooling?
