The World Needs You to Start Taking Action on Your Intuitive Thoughts

I woke this morning in a similar way to most mornings - with the dialogue in my head beginning before my eyes caught a glimpse of light. In the in-between state of dreaming and waking, I tried to process the information - “leave early and bring 3 extra coffees”. Leave when? Do what? I barely remembered what I was leaving for.

The fog started to clear as I woke further. Today is Thursday. I’m volunteering to take temperatures at the kids’ school. “Bring three extra coffees.” The information was super clear, even though I didn’t understand. I spent the time getting dressed trying to understand this information, as if I was playing both participants in a debate contest. What was I to do with the extra coffees? What if no one wants any? What if they think it’s weird to bring coffee when there’s COVID out there? What if they think I’m weird! What if I don’t listen? What if I do?

We all are intuitive beings. God, source, the universe - is always offering information to help us achieve our greatest potential in life. The only block is ourselves.

Last night I was on a call with a mentor and we discussed how my intuition is so strong, but before I act upon the messages, I run them through a filter. That filter is all the rules and controls I set for my life, and only when (ok, if!) something makes perfect sense, do I act. This costs me time and energy, and results in neglect of one of the most powerful gifts we each possess. 

Collectively we’ve been taught everything in life must be earned through hard work, and so when information is seemingly dropped into our souls from above we question if it wasn’t meant for someone else. In a sense, there’s a questioning of if we are worthy of clear, intuitive guidance and should we be trusted. 

Living in between the spaces of inspiration and filtration is where the magic occurs and self-trust expands. 

I tell myself this morning, nothing will happen if I don’t bring coffee but what possibilities lie ahead if I do?

Last evening I planned out my clothing, and set aside was a pair of jeans I haven’t worn since winter. I pull them on and feel a bulge in the left front pocket. I pull out a $5 bill, then another, and then a $20. I hear the inner voice say, no more excuses. Use this money to buy coffee. 

In the same moment I committed to leaving early to buy coffees, I also decided the head swirling must stop. Anxious thoughts are often rooted in fear of the unknown. 

So what’s the fear? 

There’s fear in being exposed as we are. Even when who we are is a pretty decent person. 

As for the coffees, I had three perfect opportunities to give them away. Including one to a teacher who was grieving the 11th anniversary since her dad passed. Just prior she said to her mom, “and I don’t even have a second cup of coffee.”

Until she did. My mind could have never filtered that as the why for the information, and so for today, I’m simply grateful for the hearing, and for the acting.
