Because they are not sitting across the table from me every night (and because they left for college before I was done imparting my knowledge), here are the nightly bits of wisdom you received at the dinner table.

Intuition

Intuition is one of those things that is hard wired into everyone.  I don't think intuition is more refined in anyone person more than another.   People who are very intuitive are the people who listen to that voice, trust it, and act on what that voice says.

Intuition gets mistaken for a lot of things, especially hindsight.  The ability to understand, after something has happened, what should have been done or what caused something is hindsight.  
  
Contrary to popular belief, hindsight is not a group exercise, it is a solitary exercise.  Even very well meaning people (like your parents) cannot have great hindsight for you.  This is something that you have to arrive at by yourself.  Never hesitate to ask the people close to you for advice and counsel.  I am a big believer in using all of your resources.  But at the end of the day, hindsight is something you will arrive at and reconcile with on your own.

Your own intuition has been very developed for years.  Intuition remember is not a functions of age, time or experience.  There are times you will listen and times you will not.  Sometimes you trust what you hear and sometimes you don't.

People will ignore their intuition for a lot of different reasons.  To be honest here are some great reasons to hear the voice and not act on it.  That is a blog entry for another day. 

So the point here is that I want you to know you are already very intuitive.  Anyone who listens to that voice is.  Never discard or ignore your own voice.  Always choose.  Learn to listen and choose. 

All of that success you are having is no accident and even tho I will continue to take credit for it, it is really just you.  It has everything to do with you listening to that voice far more than you realize.
