Do you ever look back on all of your mistakes and go, “dang, what a waste of time”? Today, let’s stop looking at our past decisions like that. Repeat after me, I release what I cannot change. Now, let’s take a look at a lesson from bad decisions that I had to learn the hard way. That’s why they teach history in school, so that we can try not to repeat mistakes and learn what went wrong.

LEARN FROM ME: A LESSON FROM BAD DECISIONS

I feel like I’ve made mistake after mistake since leaving high school, but maybe that’s part of being an adult? As I started grouping my lessons I’ve learned, I realized there was one similarity throughout all of them, that the universe has been trying to beat into me.

The resounding lesson? Listen to your gut.

It won’t let you down. Your intuition is there to serve you and watch out for you. Check in with it.

Throughout all of my bad decisions, I didn’t listen to my gut when it told me to stop or to not trust someone. I didn’t listen when I knew what the right business decision was, but went with the easier way. I didn’t listen, I didn’t act and it turned out badly for me. Learn from my mistakes!

When you feel something is off, trust it instead of brushing it off.
When you feel sick to your stomach, ask yourself why.
When you have that spark of excitement, keep going.
When you have inspiration, do something with it.
When you feel in your bones that this decision is right, do it and never look back.

In your career, go with your gut.
In relationships, go with your gut.
In every moment, go with what feels good to your soul.
Your body will tell you if you’re not going the right way.
