My gut is often the difference
between failure and success.
I have to make a decision.
Everything looks good
but something isn’t quite right.
I have that feeling
that I’m making the wrong decision.
So I change my decision
and days or weeks or months later,
I discover my gut was right.
The issue is…
the gut isn’t loud.
The gut is quiet,
a murmur,
a sensation.
If I’m distracted with other projects
or tasks or my email or my phone,
I won’t hear it.
This is why being fully present
is so important.

“When we actually start
paying attention
to what we’re doing,
we’ll notice a whole lot of things
that we might otherwise miss.
When we can stop
this incessant mind wandering
and actually be fully present in the moment,
there is a whole range of sensations
that reveal themselves to us
that we’re otherwise
usually too distracted to notice.”
If you have a big decision to make,
unplug,
give that decision your full attention.
Be present
and listen to your gut.
