As I mentioned in my opening note to you, even after making the decision to cancel my trip to Chicago two weeks, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I needed to come home. So, I trusted my intuition; booked a ticket and hopped on plane.
Why did I need to make this trip? I have no idea. I just knew that I needed to be here, so here I am.
One of the biggest challenges we often face is the idea of trusting our intuition on something; especially when the “facts” tell us something different. However, as Bill Gates (Founder and Chairman of Microsoft) said, “Often you have to rely on your own intuition.”
So what is your intuition telling you today? I know it’s telling you something!
Maybe it’s to submit to the Casting Director of a movie you just saw and loved. Maybe it’s to pick up a trade you never read. Maybe it’s to try out a new acting class; do a private session with a new teacher; or hire a career coach, such as myself. Maybe it’s to step out of a theatre company that’s not working for you. Or, maybe it’s telling you to look for a new agent.
If you will take a few minutes to stop what you’re doing, take a deep breath and still your mind, your intuition will make itself known to you.
After all, if the third richest man in the world does it, maybe you should try it sometime!
