Reading The Signs

Are you one who can sit back and analyze a situation by reading the signs? Sometimes these signs are not tangibly or physically observed or manifested, but you (the inner you) can see past what is observable.

Call it instinct. Call it intuition. Call it your third eye. Call it what you will, but you just know what’s going to happen. Many times, we ignore these signs because we want to be pragmatic, scientific, we want proof and data. This willful avoidance of what is plainly evident to “us”, even though we can’t immediately prove it, causes us great angst. It messes with our psyche, and oftentimes, to our detriment, we regret not following our gut feeling.

When either my team, a friend, or my family are in a quandary, because they are bothered by signs, I reply by saying: “If it looks like a skunk, smells like a skunk, and acts like a skunk…guess what? It is a skunk.” Read the signs.
