Sometimes A Hunch Is All You Need To Start Living Your Best Life

My article today is about imploring you to break out of the cycle to heal your life.

If you are to gain competitive advantage and thrive in your life, career, or business, you need to learn to break out of cycles that are standing in your way of achieving the success you want. And today I'd like to highlight for you how having a hunch about something and following that hunch can be the window of opportunity and a shot that you may ever have to start living a life where you are thriving.

Sometimes you get a hunch about this dramatically different and beautiful version of your life. In the midst of the comfort where you have it "all" or in the midst of the discomfort where you're in a cycle of suffering and neck deep in a life of lack, you get a hunch. You get this random yet repetitive feeling of What Can Be. You disappear into the imagination. As much as you feel comfortable and have it "all", you think, 'At what cost? I'm not truly happy. I want a more honest and truthful life.' You are well aware that you've traded your true happiness for a lifestyle. You are well put together but you're not. Something is stirring in your soul, and it wants to break out. Your unhappiness is getting more physical now manifesting as random physical illnesses and a corroding mental health. All of this because of you have a hunch. But the thing is, your hunch is contradicting the norm. The hunch will make you seem ungrateful, selfish, or confused. This hunch is about a version of life where you're your true self, where you show up in life in an honest and truthful way. This hunch excites you more than it scares you. If anything, it makes you feel fearless and scary. This is the truest version of you that the social constructs suppressed over time. This is the truest version of you that you either had to pack away or never got to let see light of day because she didn't fit in in the world. But now this hunch is not going away. You've met what can be. A more free and joyful life. A life that feels more truer and honest to you.

Now that you have that hunch, don't let it disappear again. It doesn't matter how far you've gone in the "wrong" direction, you can make a U-Turn now. You have the right to change your mind. You don't need to honour a vow that is killing your soul everyday. You can get up now and break out of that cage. You can free yourself. And I promise you, the world doesn't matter. No one wants a dead you. And if you ignore that hunch, you'll ultimately die inside, or literally. So, don't worry about what they will say. They will say something, surely, but now the question is; are you willing to get yourself killed in an attempt to please everyone else but you? Because if you die today, life will go on. The people whose opinions you're scared of and whom you're scared of briefly disappointing, will continue living. And you, poof, gone, you'll be dead.

?You have a hunch. And that hunch is a cry from the you you've silenced for too long or the you who was never given a chance or freedom to choose for self.

This hunch is not coming only to those living comfortable lives, even you who is in a great deal of suffering. You've lived in lack for so long that you've surrendered to that life as your destiny. After all, it has always been like this. You've never seen any better life lived in your family. You have no frame of reference. You may have seen your relatives having a better life, but then they don't want to help you. Of course they won't because they like it that way. Those boxes of the Have and Have Nots are important to them. But you have a hunch. Yes, you've messed up big time at some point in your life. You engaged in horrible activities, burnt some bridges and even became a brand of some embarrassing things in your community, that you embraced with pride. But now you have a hunch, a sneak peek of What Can Be. You are seeing yourself living a different and better life. You are haunted by thoughts of how to break out of the cycle of lack and the life you've grown to despise. But no one knows that you are no longer that "piece of trash", you're no longer that "never mind person" You never was, it was just an avatar you jumped into to hide your pain. But now here's the hunch, showing you what can be. Showing you a life full of possibilities. And you're scared. You don't trust yourself. You don't believe that you're worthy of it. You were taught that such nice things are meant for the rich, your cousins, and not you. You're wrong. They we wrong.

Now that you have a hunch, don't let it disappear again. You're not dreaming or fooling yourself. You're seeing what can be. What's possible for you. So, now you have to do the most uncomfortable thing. All your life you lived in an uncomfortable life of lack and suffering, comfortably. Now it's time to do the uncomfortable - to allow yourself to feel worthy and deserving of nice things in life and give yourself permission to get up and reach them. That's the hardest part. You've already seen the possibilities. But to live that possibility, you need to believe you're worthy. Believe you're worthy, and you won't have a problem putting an effort in grabbing opportunities, working on your goals, and aligning with your dreams.

Trust that hunch. It is your key to saving yourself and living a life that is more honest, truthful, and joyful. That's what this article was all about. Trusting the hunch. When you get the hunch, don't think life is BS-ing you or you're BS-ing yourself. That's the wild you coming to save you. The you that you know you are deep down. The freakin fearless warrior meant to thrive in life and live a joyful life. It's time to abandon the scared you and let that wolf out.

Today is a beautiful ChooseDay, a day you can choose to trust and follow your hunch. Are you ready? Touch. Let’s Go!
