Listen to Riz: Trust your instinct

MY MISSION

When I thought about starting this blog, several things came to my mind. The first thing was, our family motto, "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it". So don't expect me to be a mean critic here, well, I could throw some constructive criticism once in a while. Secondly, life is too short, enjoy every minute of it. So if I am enjoying my life, why not share every memory of it, well, not everything, after all, I would like this to be rated "E" for Everybody. I can go on and on about other things, but the most important thing is that, do enjoy reading it and you are welcome to post a comment.....but remember..... our family motto :-)

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.
