Intuition is part of wisdom.
The basis of intuition is memory.
You instinctively draw on your experiences – the ones that are fresh and the ones that are distant and faded.
If you recall a certain behavior from someone to be a red flag, you will proceed with caution. That’s probably a good thing.
The problem is if you had an experience where you were embarrassed, didn’t perform well, or didn’t get good results, and told yourself the wrong story as the lesson – then your intuition can send you a signal, with the wrong advice.
If it says “don’t take that chance, you’ll look stupid”, (or get your heart broken, or be betrayed, or won’t win, etc.) because these things happened in the past, then your intuition becomes a voice to limit you.
Let’s say you didn’t win in the past because you weren’t good enough – yet. Was the story “I won’t win”? or, “I need to get better if I want to win – and I can”. If you got your heart broken, was the lesson “I am not worthy”, or “Love is pain”, or “That was just the wrong person and I can see why now”?
We need to pay attention to the stories we tell ourselves about the experiences we have had. All experiences are training for the next ones.
Seek the valuable and useful lesson. That’s what your mind will draw on in the future.
Intuition is wisdom but often times it is influenced by ego. Being able to divide the line between intuition and ego and understanding one is there to prepare you and the other usually plays helicopter parent and tries to “protect” you.
