The Power of Intuition

The Power of Intuition

Intuition is your greatest gift but also your most fragile flower. Time spent connecting more closer to intuition is the best investment you can make in yourself and your business.

"My friend Dr Stephen Simpson has made a remarkable study of intuition. This comes from his work with some of the world’s leading poker players. When he works with them, on average their winnings increase tenfold. 

Poker is a game of statistics, but it is also the ability to read the other players, then make a decision based on lots of different pieces of information to win. 

More generally, in life, we have a massive amount of information from our sensory awareness–pictures, sounds, smells, etc. Our mind collates this and offers us an opportunity to make a decision in the form of a gut instinct or intuition. 

This is historically a survival mechanism that would alert us through an instinctive feeling about danger and would also drive us towards opportunity. However, since human beings have learned to speak, they have to some extent learned to ignore this and to also let the ego get in the way, because the ego’s purpose is to look good and be right. 

However, as Dr Simpson suggests, when we get quiet and free ourselves of distractions such as our mobile phones and the internet, and tune into what our intuition is telling us, we will be right most of the time. 

Just as he is able to help leading poker players increase their earnings by making good intuitive decisions, you will find that you can do the same in life generally."
