Listen to Yourself

There have been times where I have ended up in bad situations because I didn’t listen to myself. I would end up regretting decisions I’ve made and think to myself I should have gone with my first instinct. I feel the only reason we don’t listen to our first instinct is because we have a little bit of hope that we think what we are doing will give us the result we desire. I’ve learned that listening to myself has never steered me wrong. But I’m hard headed and the best way I’ve learned was the hard way. Sometimes its better to learn the hard way because you know you will NEVER do something again and put yourself in the same position again. It’s honestly a part of growing and evolving and you realize your thought process is different. You think more about a situation than you did before when you’re unsure of how to handle it.

In my experience, I had a situation where I was getting to know someone. They were showing me something new and it intrigued me. But also, they showed me what I was used to with other guys in the past. Now I know that no one is perfect and I figured let me give him the benefit of the doubt even though I felt like something wasn’t right. I ignored my intuition and went along with getting to know him further. I realized that he only wanted one thing and would say whatever to get it. I knew that I was more than looks but also a person of substance and if all he could see was the physical then I had to remove myself. When you feel that there is something off, it’s for a reason. DON’T ignore it because it’s like the future you telling you to wake up and see the reality of what is going on. Learn to listen to and trust yourself and your inner voice first before trusting someone else and their words.
