My intention to write this piece is not to rant and rave about what is good or evil ; be it pot smoking of the younger generation or the insatiable apetite for others to make money and yet for others who believe that they only know the true path to God.
In order to be true to youself, you have to trust your instincts. Being true to yourself primarily means being totally honest with yourself.
Here is what Ralph Waldo Emerson , one of America's best loved 19th century writers had to say about trusting your instincts.
"All our progress is unfolding like the vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge, as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason."
What are instincts?
Instincts are responses to environmental or external stimuli that are heriditary and unalterable, and do not involve reason. For example, if someone throws a punch at you, you arm will fly out to block it without your having to think about it.
Learning to trust your instincts does not start with trying to do anything. All you have to do is to get in touch with your instincts without repressing them. Without forcing you to do things, you have to allow your inborn instincts to guide you through life with a maximum of pleasure and a minimum of pain and suffering.
