Intuition - James Altucher

By Roger L. Brooks

This week, James Altucher was featured on the cover of Kind Magazine. Altucher?is an American?hedge-fund manager, author,?podcaster?and entrepreneur who has founded or cofounded over 20 companies, and published 20 books. In 1998, Altucher sold a company he founded, Reset Inc., for approximately $15 million, and used the proceeds to fund new internet investments. Altucher has said he began this period with $15 million and then lost it all in two years, which led him to re-evaluate his approach to both business and life.

Since graduating college from Cornell University, Altucher has embraced things his way by trusting his intuition. That is one of the very reasons he has been able to overcome obstacles and accomplish his goals. In this article, we'll examine intuition and observe it from a fresh lens.

Intuition

What is the secret of embracing intuition? It’s sticking with it as best you can, and as often as you can, while learning to toss away conflicting thoughts that take you in a different or opposite direction.

Ever since you were young, you’ve heard all the catch-phrases…

Go with your gut.?

Follow your instincts.?

Your heart knows best.

Trust your intuition.

All of it, everything you’ve heard and everything you’ve been told about intuition, is in fact, true—if, and only if, you are open to receiving its energetic frequency and have the confidence to do so.?

Intuition is trusting the source of its origin. Intuition is knowing without knowing.??

So, how do you recognize when your intuition is speaking directly to you? For some, it’s a roll of the dice. They’ll?listen to it sometimes, but there’s typically a game of internal tug-of-war that’s played. Or they’ll obey if it fits their agenda at the moment. For others, it is a sacred gift that has no words, yet surfaces at exactly the right time.?

All said, it’s up to you first to acknowledge your sacred gift and then to honor it by being faithful to its call. Once you understand that by listening to your intuition you’re indeed tapping into a power that’s within you at all times, it’s your personal guide to righteousness and ultimate fulfillment. It’s a firm belief that your gut knows best, even while knowing your rational mind often objects and rejects its guidance. Your intuition just knows. It feels as if it’s coming from a place you can’t quite pinpoint, and that it’s often illogical, but just feels proper. It feels right.

When you trust your intuition, you get closer to internal harmony. Give yourself permission to honor your sacred gift. “I am overflowing with gratitude by honoring my intuition.”

Intuition is knowing without knowing.

Taking Action

Stop the internal struggle today. Listen, listen; listen and honor. Honor your heart, honor your mind, and honor your soul. Honor your intuition.?

Start with the small things. Do I really need that donut? Should I check up on my friend? Should I write a check to support that charity?

Every thought is a frequency of energy. Deciding to act upon your thoughts is up to you, just as deciding not to act upon your thoughts is your choice. Are you going to be lazy about acting on your choices? Are you going to conform and choose not to act upon a thought because of a stereotype? Or are you going to grow into your mature mind and start making decisions based on intuition and honor??

It’s up to you. Your intuition will always guide you to victory.
