My latest lightbulb moment
Published by yojules April 20th, 2006 in General, Thinking stuff
I had the privelege of spending the day with Meg Wheatley at a Nedbank Women’s forum.
She shared such simple, but profound insights with us, which I’ll share with you over time. But I think my most profound insight was my own, derived after a really lovely facillitation method called ‘world cafe’ (more about that later too!
‘Trust your intuition’!
Maybe it sounds ‘duh’ to you, but to me it is huge! I’ve always been a reluctant ‘gut’ girl. Although I make many decisions based on that ‘feeling’, I’ve always had a bit of ‘imposter’ fear about it. I have always considered my intuition to be a naive voice - primitive in it’s perceptions and understanding of what’s really going on.
But on that day I suddenly saw that my intuition has travelled the same road as me. It is (nearly) 40 years old, and has access to everything I know, plus some things only my subconscious knows! When it sends me panic signals, huge ‘NO’s, ‘YES!’s’, and ‘DONT GO THERES’, it’s speaking with a lot of experience and wisdom, and is not naive at all!
I’m going to work with it some more, and see how far it takes me. Maybe that will become my message to the world: trust it - it really is my true north!

Jules chick, I don’t know what I did right in my life to have met you but thank heavens I did.
You started me on this on-going major learning curve so many years ago and I still have so much to learn from you.
Love the blog, very apt (for me).
:)
Hey Carin: I think you need to share a bit more about why this is so apt - I’m intrigued!
I need to learn how to listen to my gut a little more and stop over-explaing things to myself all the time. I’ve known that for along time but never commit to it.
I think I need to shut-up my brain and get more in tune with my own intuition!
