I started this writing journey without a purpose or a clear goal.
I had no clue who I was or what I was capable of.
I just wrote every day because I thought that was how I would find myself eventually. And I was right.
Day by day and piece by piece, I’m figuring out what my role in this strange play is.
Yesterday, I discovered a big part of the clue.
It happened by accident.
Becoming World-Class
I was talking with my friend about intuition.
We’re both very intuitive people.
We both have meaningful dreams, can ‘predict’ things before they happen and are very good at judging peoples characters from scratch.
And while talking about that, we both realized that intuition is just a skill like writing or speaking.
A skill that can be trained.
That realization made us both excited to actively try to improve that skill.
Because, let’s be honest, intuition is a superpower.
My friend coined that line, not me, but she’s absolutely right and I want to develop a world-class intuition now.
That’s is my new goal.
And it’s going to happen.
How Far Can We Take This?
Intuition always came naturally to me.
I have used it in every activity I’ve ever done.
When I was playing live poker, for instance, I was just basically judging the intention of strangers and won or lost huge amounts of money by doing that.
And trading? That’s in a way converting your gut into money.
Every activity I ever performed successfully relied on my above average intuition.
And now, I’m interested in testing how far I can take this intuition thing. Are their limits to our human intuitive capabilities?
Can my intuition become so good that it seems godlike?
I want to find out.
Sharpening The Gut-Feel
So that’s what next.
When this writing challenge ends, I’m going to take a bit of a break.
I’m sure I’m going to need it, by the way.
But after taking that nice little vacation, I’m going to double down on improving my intuition.
I’m going to sharpen my gut-feel.
I’m already looking up some exercises and possible training routines. They seem like fun if you have an open mind.
I had to restrain myself or I would have called for another challenge on the spot. Luckily that didn’t happen.
One year without a challenge would be nice.
But trust me, I’m going to take this skill serious.
That’s what I always do.
I’m grateful for my life.
Every time I think life is getting too easy, I find a way to challenge myself even more.
Learning is the ultimate skill.
And I think I’m obsessed by it.
Fortunately, it’s a healthy obsession.
That’s what my gut tells me.
