Street Smart Intuition

Street Smart Intuition
Have you ever noticed that there was something off about
the energy of a person, place or situation, even though on
the surface everything seemed normal? Did you listen to
your intuition, or were you swayed by outer appearance? To
access greater power in your life, pay attention to the
energy. You'll get a truer read about what's really going
on.

When you're not resisting things or unconsciously going
along with them, you have greater awareness. The harsh
environment of life and business becomes easier to
navigate. You avoid being in the wrong place at the wrong
time.You have a sense who would be good to work with and
who will turn out to be a time waster. Serendipitous events
can help move you along or move you out of harm's way. All
without being uptight or paranoid. It's so much easier than
resisting and reacting or alligning and agreeing. You'll
still have to deal with difficult people or situations at
times, but everything can go a whole lot smoother.

Life becomes clear, dynamic. The more you let go of making
anything significant, the more you can be aware of the
energy of a person or situation you're interacting with.
You have much more awareness when you aren't giving
importance to form, structure or significance. Or judging
it as right or wrong, good or bad. It just is. You can
simply ask "Is this an energy that will be expansive for my
life or business?" You quickly get to the essence of what
will work for you. And then follow the energy that's
expansive.

I was working with a business client the other day and the
issue of competition came up. They were concerned that some
other businesses they knew would find out their internet
marketing secrets. Are your marketing methods really what
matters? Or is the value you have to offer and the
connection you have with your customers what creates and
sustains your business. There will always be the latest
marketing whiz bang (not to knock whiz bangs, I use them
myself). It's the energy of caring and generosity that
makes your business work. People will pick up on that. Be
good at what you're doing and let the energy flow into and
out of your business. Being concerned about your
competition is a way to stop the energy. Don't make them
significant. If you have an awareness that you need to take
some action. Take it. You don't have to go into fear and
worry. Put your energy into creating something new and
dynamic instead.

Being aware means never assuming anything. Always ask
questions if you want to create greater possibilities.

"What's the energy of this situation?"

"What does this person really want?"

"Does that work for me?"

Play with questions like these and see what shows up.
