Life Lesson 05

Intuition comes before thought

That first pull to help is usually right. Trust it before you talk yourself out of it.

Ways to live it

  • Offer help the moment you notice it is needed
  • Follow up on the person you thought about today

Stories from this lesson (1)

I do my best to walk in nature every morning. That is where peace and I find each other. Since Laura's passing, even more so than before, I can't walk by garbage and leave it. There was a single can a little bit off of the forest path. I noticed it, then I thought, what about the poison ivy and I walked past. Then I quickly stopped and heard, just pick it up you will figure it out. So grabbed a stick and was about to and then noticed there was no poison Ivy. I went in to grab a can and someone on a bike stopped to see what was going on and if I needed help. He noticed I was picking up garbage. He was shocked in a good way, then smiled and said a heartfelt thank you. I know he would have thought about it at least a few more times that day and probably influenced his own actions for the better.
