99. Connect the Dots : Trust Your Gut Because It Will Work

Have you ever held back from living the life you truly wanted to live because you were scared to take a risk? Have you considered all the ways you could “fail” instead of thinking about what you could actually learn from taking the leap? Have you allowed someone else’s opinion deter you from taking the path you think is best for you?

Today I want to talk about how by following our gut & doing the things we deep down inside want to do, we have to trust that everything will fall into place with time. That the only way to really know where something might take us is by going for it & connecting the dots later on how it benefited us.

Steve Jobs quote : “You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

Three reminders to help us do the things we deep down inside want to do :

• (1) Trust Your Gut : Nobody knows us better than us. When faced with a decision, we need to listen to our guts and follow our intuition.
• (2) No Destination Brings Happiness : We must remind ourselves that no destination will bring us happiness, that it can only be found in the process of the day to day ride of getting there.
• (3) Keep Going : No matter the results, we must keep going because the wins add more fuel to the fire and the loses help us appreciate the wins all that much more.

Challenge For The Listeners

• Text / call a friend today that’s on the path of chasing something they love and tell them to keep going and why they inspire you. That little extra push of encouragement can be all that someone needs for them to stick with it.
