Who Do You Listen To Your Intuition or Your Feelings?
“You will pay me back whether you go with me on this trip or not!” Theresa Wilmot shouts to her friend as she enters her apartment.
“I already told you that I don’t feel like going,” Marsha Lyons threw at her.
“I am tired of you putting your feelings into everything,” Theresa said, sitting opposite her on the sofa.
“For you, it’s Intuition. For me, it’s my feelings.”
Theresa glared at her, then yanked her down memory lane by her hair extensions, “ten years ago, a great guy asked you to marry him. You said you didn’t feel him. After he left, you went crazy for more than six months.”
“I was wrong,” Marsha admitted.
“And when Jean was selling her house and offered it to you first. You didn’t feel like buying a house yet,” Theresa hammered in. “That adds to your list of huge regrets.”
“Okay, that was a mistake,” she confesses.
“Links Communications offered you your dream position. You didn’t feel like taking that position at that moment. Two months later, you wished you had taken their offer.”
“More blunder for me,” she said, rage building up inside her.
“Last week, Kevin offered. . . .”
“I get it!” Marsha snapped, cutting her off. “Can you remember a time when my feeling helped me?”
“Nope,” jumped out of Theresa’s mouth quickly as she swayed her head left to right.
“Really?”
“It’s your life, and if you can’t remember the rewards your feelings gave you, you expect me to,” Theresa’s eyes bored into hers.
Nodding in frustration, Marsha moaned, “why do I keep doing these things?”
“You need to know the difference between your Feelings and your Intuition. They are not the same.”
Marsha sighed, then asked, “Why did you wait so long to tell me this.”
“I have been telling you for years. Plus, with all of the pain your decisions have caused you, you didn’t think you were doing something stupid?”
Sighing, pushing her anger aside, Marsha said, “how do I stop.”
“I usually listen to the pain of my actions, choices, and decisions. Pain has been an effective method of prevention for me.”
“You mean pain helps you to make better decisions?”
“Of course it has. I learn from my pain. My Intuition doesn’t leave me in pain. But my feelings have.”
“I don’t understand,” Marsha said.
“Your Intuition is like a warning. It’s not connected to your emotions, so most of us listen to it.”
“Oh,” Marsha said in understanding. “My feelings are linked to my wants and emotions.”
“Among other things,” Theresa said, glaring at her.
“And that’s why I made terrible decisions?”
“Use my life as an example.”
“You are nuts, but knowing you and your Life decisions, I can learn to change,” Marsha said with regret.
Many of us confuse our Feelings with our Intuition.
They are not the same.
Learn from your decisions.
Listen to your pain.
