What we want and what is good for us is not always the same thing. With believing that something is the right thing , and going against that basic gut instinct telling us otherwise , we can find ourselves in quite a mess . I know this from personal experience . I wanted something in the past so badly , as a result of believing that it would eventually bring me to a greater sense of feeling fulfilled in my life , that I ignored the warning signs that were overwhelmingly telling me to be careful.

We are only human , and at times , it is easy to avoid and ignore the signs that are blatantly waring us to walk away from certain situations. Our need for the instant gratification , over rules the bigger picture that we see revealed by our true intuition. Is it magic , or common sense , or something else , I don't really know , but I have seen it with my own life in varying degrees in small and grand scales . Then I've found myself saying , why is it I can advise everyone else , and not myself in these matters. It was not until I started looking at what was the root of my pain, my need for these temporary salves for my personal feeling of being incomplete, that I managed to start avoiding repeating this type of negative synchronicity.

The short path to the temporary fulfillment , or the long path to a greater sense of completeness , experience has taught me to follow my instincts , no matter how much I may feel I need something , or want something , or how easy it is to reach out and grab it , I will listen to my intuition. That self control , has kept me out of negative situations , and laid out a much more stable existence for me . I only say this as something that has worked for me , and I have to confess I have arrived at this place on my path , by leaving a trail of hurt, bad decisions and wrong turns in my wake. And I don't think I would be at this place , had I not stumbled so often along the way, in my own personal journey .
