Intuition speaks to us almost all the time, but we don’t always follow it, guessing is like the sound you hear when you put your ear in a shell, they’re there, but we don’t always decipher their language, until one day they understand what they wanted to tell us at the time: “Do it, dare to be happy. “
Among the diverse and unique experiences of the emotional world is undoubtedly this strange feeling where people look back and perceive many things, one is to have discovered something late that we already knew at that time, a journey that we would have to buy. the ticket, a face and a name he should never have liked or a lock on which he should never have inserted the key.
“We experiment with logic, but we discover through intuition. -Henri Poincaré-
Why do human beings do this?First we must understand that people are not foolproof. Advancing our life cycles is like setting foot on the rocks that cross a river. Some will be safer than others, and for a while it will be necessary to rely on our own instincts to make this risky but safe leap.
At other times, however, there is no other way than to retreat in the distance and regain balance, we are not always prepared for these great steps, even if a voice tells us that is the best thing for us. From delving into a sad and perpetual adage of what “could and could not be?” new perspectives must be established.
We invite you to think about it
We will start being objective: there are trains that no longer pass, many other job offers will come, no doubt, but not the one you did not risk because you were forced to go far, many other people will also enter. your life, but never that sincere voice that promised to be the best thing for you, and that you always let go. Now, the fact that we missed a real opportunity doesn’t mean different and equally incredible opportunities arise.
Putting our eyes on the mirror of our lives often makes us fall into a strange destiny. We came to believe that what we were doing or not doing at the time could have given us true happiness. “Why did I give up if he was the best thing for me?Why did I decide to do this or that if something in me said it wasn’t right?These kinds of thoughts that lead us to a kind of emotional drift have a name: they are counterphatic thoughts.
When we begin to speculate by imagining what had happened, we apply counterfactual thinking, a mechanism by which human beings imagine, visualize or build alternatives to the events and events that have already occurred, are activated as a failed goal, with a lost relationship, with a dream evaporated by lack of courage, to shape with imagination what should have happened.
Many people are mentally immersed in this kind of? Multiverses? Or multiple universes where different? Me? They realize what could have been and what was not, however, the only thing you can do with this is to completely dilute your own identity. It is worth remembering what Heidegger said on the same subject: is the human being destined to renew his nostalgic past? And sometimes dramatic? Towards a future full of hope and wiser.
At first we compared our intuitions to the sound we heard placing the ear in a shell, we listened, there is no doubt, but we do not know very well what that sound is or where it comes from. that these sounds coming from inside the shells, far from being the sound of the sea or the fruit of our own imagination, are actually the outside air that vibrates in this semi-closed object. The helmet itself works like an amplifier.
Something similar happens with intuitions. We have a feeling that we hear in the form of noise, without giving it much importance, however, this is how intuitions are built: an external element interacts with our own heart, with our mind to come into contact with our unconscious being. It is when an inner voice vibrates to give us a concrete message according to our identity. “Do it, is this your OPPORTUNITY?.
Sometimes ignoring this voice has a consequence that we already know: repentance, Malcolm Galdwell, sociologist and subject matter expert, points out that the messages that intuition sends are difficult to decipher, we do not always understand them and we do not always want to hear them because the logic or pressure of those around us weighs too much. This is something we train over time, being more receptive, free and self-aware.
It’s also obvious that several times? That voice? You’re wrong, but if there’s one thing that really hurts, really weighs and tears your soul, it’s that you’re not wrong at some point, what hurts is that you didn’t try when the opportunity came
