The year is 2000. I’m in high school. The bell has rung and I’m about to go from choir class to Spanish class. Spanish class has two textbooks which my teacher, Mr. Brown, uses interchangeably. Unfortunately, I’m not sure which one is needed for that particular day. Perhaps Mr. Brown had mentioned it the day before and perhaps he hadn’t. I can’t remember.
“At the end of the day it’s not about what you have…it’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back.”
-Denzel Washington
If you’re a frequent reader of my posts (and a huge thank you to you if you are), you’ll notice that one of the things I routinely stress on is paying it forward, especially if it doesn’t take much effort or time. And even if it does, knowing you’ve helped someone goes a long way with your conscious.
“A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.”

The world is moving at such a breakneck speed that sometimes we tend forget the value of some simple things in life.
One of them is the act of common courtesy.
“Trust your hunches. They’re usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level.”
-Dr. Joyce Brothers
Do you believe in intuition and/or in the sixth sense? Even the most overt skeptics of pyschics and spirituality believe that we all have a modicum of a sixth sense.
The scepticism stems from the knowledge or lack thereof of what exactly intuition is.
It’s a common misconception that intuitions require some sort of telekinesis power or are based on a realm outside of our tangible world. In reality, intuition is just relying on an hypothesis that ostensibly has no sound logic. In laymen’s terms, it’s a gut feeling. We don’t know why we have it but something inside of us urges us to follow it.
But in recent years, psychologists have argued that intuitions are not soley based without reason. The reasons for feeling them are there, they’re just stored at a level which may not be obvious at first.
Keeping that in mind, it’s much easier to understand that we all have some level of intuitions. Those that follow them and nurture them seem to be more accurate and after a certain level, people mistake that for a psychic ability.
In reality, it’s just a matter of learning to understands our minds and instincts better and there after, refining what we learn.
