The Role of Intuition in Life Decisions
00:02:08
Speaker
So today, I just want to speak on, because I think, I don't think, in my life, I know my intuition has changed my life. Actually, that's how I got to spiritual fitness. Actually, that's how I changed the podcast thing from Bigger Talks to spiritual fitness.
00:02:23
Speaker
And i came up with the the idea of it by trusting my intuition and speaking on Same with It's Miracle Season. It came to me and I said it. So my gift in life has been my intuition, has been the discernment of those things that have a...
00:02:40
Speaker
that subtle voice that comes in and i doesn't have evidence for it, but I trust it because I feel it. And I do believe that the reason we don't listen to our intuition is because number one, we're not as connected to it as much as we can be.
00:02:56
Speaker
So therefore we don't trust it. And two, most times intuition doesn't have logic. Right. It doesn't have logic. And when we think it's intuition, it's actually fear projecting or stopping us from going we need to go. So in 2010, I remember sitting down with my dad and my dad like, you need to go to L.A.
00:03:20
Speaker
and fresh out of college, just graduated from Hampton University, the real H.U. And, you know, talk to my dad. My dad has never really gave me advice like that. But I was like, OK, dad, L.A.
00:03:31
Speaker
From there, I went to a good friend of mine's mom house. She's like, Eric, you need to go on Indeed.com or CareerBuilder and find a job in L.A. So at that time, those are two people, two different. They don't even know each other.
00:03:45
Speaker
My dad didn't know her She didn't know my dad. They both said LA. So I looked at it as, hmm, that's a sign. So there goes my sign. I applied for a job, LA sports marketing. And within two hours, I got an email and said, hey, we want to interview you.
00:04:00
Speaker
There are times of charm. i I was like, cool, I have to go to LA. I booked a one-way ticket. I had a graduation party June fifth I was in L.A. June 12th, 2010.
00:04:12
Speaker
And I never looked back ever since. But I got to L.A. because of my intuition, not because of logic. I mean, I think the the interview kind of helped me seal the deal because they did help. let Let's be clear.
00:04:24
Speaker
But guess what? When I got there, it was a fraud. It was a scam. And i actually didn't, they didn't call me back because when I started speaking to them, they was like, oh my God, he's not green. We can't really get him.
00:04:35
Speaker
Right? So that didn't work out. So now I'm in other side of the country. I got a thousand dollars in my name. I got a fine apartment. I got fine employment. Mind you, I had a job on the East Coast and the government at the Census Bureau.
00:04:47
Speaker
I said no to that to say yes to LA and my intuition. And let's think 15, 16 years later, I've written three books. I've been on national TV. I've spoke on many stages and traveled the world and I live my dreams out loud. In this episode, I want to tell you the things I've done to trust where I'm going and trust where I'm at.
00:05:07
Speaker
to know that it wasn't logic. It was me just trusting that direct knowledge, that intuition, that subtle voice to take me to the next level. And I even tested that throughout my life.
Building Trust in Intuition
00:05:18
Speaker
So number one is the way to trust your intuition is you have to play with it, right?
00:05:24
Speaker
And the way to play with or the way to test it is, say you're restaurant, right? You're there for the first time. And when you're picking, i want you to feel into your body, like you know what you probably want to eat. And say you want to eat a burger.
00:05:38
Speaker
and they got four different burgers. I want you to kind of look at the burgers and then look at it, then feel it, and just go with your intuition might say a double cheeseburger.
00:05:48
Speaker
Just do it, right? Just tru into us trust that that gut instinct that, okay, I never eat double cheeseburger. I'm usually getting, you know, BLT, right? Or when you're booking a flight, really start playing with your intuition because you got to get used to it where you trust it. And some of you probably are really good at intuition, and sometimes you don't want to believe it, like, Someone is lying to you. You want to believe that this person you love is lying to you.
00:06:12
Speaker
But the reason I say trust your intuition, because I believe that your intuition is God talking to you and God talking through you. I feel like when intuition is coming in, those nudges is God is trying to get you to a place, trying to get you to a point. Or you know how sometimes you'll go to the gym and your intuition is like, go this way.
00:06:30
Speaker
And you don't know why. And then you run into a friend you haven't sent in five years. So these little things is how you can kind of play with your intuition to get you to where you want to go. And over time, you start trusting it, you start feeling safe. So that's one, play with your intuition.
00:06:44
Speaker
Two is your intuition is really your soul trying to guide you to something you can't see. When I went to Peru in 2024, I had no logic why I should go other the than I got invited.
00:06:57
Speaker
So I got invited, I had to take a 12-hour flight. I really didn't have the money or the finances to kind of fund it. But somehow, some way I figured it out. And boom, I went on a trip.
00:07:08
Speaker
I did the thing. I climbed the mountain. I did Aachuma, San Pedro, and I fell in love. Because I trusted my intuition and I wasn't worrying about what I couldn't do or what I didn't have or what didn't make sense, I'm like, cool, I'm gone. So I know now when things like that come into my life, I'm on it.
00:07:24
Speaker
Because your intuition, your nudges actually get you to the space that you're supposed to be in life.
Practices to Enhance Intuition
00:07:30
Speaker
And sometimes... We can't trust that intuition because we're not grounded enough to feel it, to know it, to actually trust it, to take action.
00:07:39
Speaker
So number three is every morning before you start, if you can kind of have like a five-minute meditation or five-minute breath work, you can literally go on YouTube and type in five-minute meditation, five-minute breath work, right?
00:07:52
Speaker
Asking God, the universe created whatever you believe in and done to sharpen my sharpen my intuition from my highest good. Make me better. Make me listen to it. Make me understand it. You know, and what will happen is because of the breath work and the meditation, you'll start be more grounded in that part of your body. I call it the spiritual body, where when it comes in, you're like, oh, let me do that. You can feel it, man. Your solar plexus go off, right? The main thing is we got to get into a space where we trust the flow of our higher consciousness trying to come through us, through our intuition.
00:08:24
Speaker
Because if you listen to your intuition, your life will change. If you listen to your intuition, won't have to work as much or as hard. If you listen to your intuition, you won't have to you do what everybody else is doing.
00:08:36
Speaker
You'll have soul success, you know, opposed to ego success. You'll jump timelines. You'll be able to get ahead a lot quicker because like I said, intuition is a direct knowing from God telling you something that you can't see to get you where you want to go.
00:08:53
Speaker
And I think because we don't have enough evidence to trust it or we don't and understand how to tap into it, we just avoid it or we don't want to believe it's true.
Embracing Intuition Despite Discomfort
00:09:01
Speaker
Because it's going to reveal to us what we don't want to accept.
00:09:04
Speaker
So that's another thing. You have to get comfortable with accepting things that you don't like that will be true. The answer is what can tell you about someone you really love or care about. Or it could be heavy. I mean, let's be honest. Sometimes I get stuff about people like, whoa.
00:09:19
Speaker
I can feel that, but the main thing I always say, we can hold heavy things lightly. So the moral of today is I want you to learn how to trust your intuition to change your life.
00:09:30
Speaker
I want you to build the bandwidth to receive your intuition so you can have a guiding system. You can use that voice to help you live your life and get out of things that you don't belong in, right? Knowing when to leave the job, right? Knowing where you should live next. what did when came to Orange County. Knowing when you need to part ways from people.
00:09:51
Speaker
Your intuition is the guidance system through God. That's what I believe. Every time. It was never wrong. I really listened to it, it's given me purpose. It's given me insight. But I know things like that don't just come into my life.
00:10:06
Speaker
And the reason we don't trust the things we don't have evidence in because we want to be in control. And when we're control, we're in fear. And when we're in fear, we're not living our highest and best version of ourself.
Clearing Fear for Fulfillment
00:10:17
Speaker
So that's why you got to clear the fear and tap into the intuition and train it and program it and wire yourself to receive the things to get you to the next side. Listen to your intuition. Play with your intuition. When things come in, say yes.
00:10:31
Speaker
Don't worry about the evidence. If you know your body is saying, let's do this. Build the space to get comfortable and confident in your intuition and you'll make better decisions. You'll have a better life. You'll feel lighter in life. And you'll be able to have more certainty and more trust in God, the universe, and the creator of all things. So with that being said, you guys be great.
00:10:52
Speaker
Stay tuned in, dialed in, tapped in.
