This past week, I was stuck in my projects. I was not "seeing" things happen as I’d like, not having “heard” good news, or not having tangible evidence that I was making progress.
My husband, Denny, said just the right thing. He said, "Maybe God gave us our five senses for protection not perception." It hit me between the eyes. The thought made so much sense. When we are using our five senses to make decisions, it comes down to only believing what we see, touch, hear, smell, or taste. Yet, he pointed out how limiting it can be to use only our senses when their purpose is to protect us as we navigate the world.
What about the inner guide, the intuition and gut feelings that can really help us but are invisible?
Dr. Wayne Dyer said, "Any step in the direction of expressing your creative impulses is a step in the direction of actualizing the genius that resides within you."*
