Those of us who are sixth sensory, may often find that picking up on energy, truth and intention from people and places, can sometimes be daunting.  In a mad search for clarity on what we are “picking up on” we attempt to throw at the wall a variety of situations that may be the “rotten egg” we smell.  Not a bad idea as you attempt for further clarity, but not the best idea either.

I have recently learned that if you smell something bad, it is.  Make it easy on yourself – trust your gut!  Regardless of the crafty language or attempts to bypass confrontation (with projection or the false declarations) we tend to know if a person should be in our lives or not.

If you feel something is off, it probably is.  You may never get the clarity you need, but you will make the right choice, as far as keeping your life filled with great people!  And when in doubt, simply watch how someone treats the people closest to them.  Do they treat them with integrity, honesty and forthrightness to the highest degree (not just their own rationalized degree)?  And if not, WATCH OUT!  You’re simply next! 

For example: my partner Paul and I (like any married couple) have our challenges and our delights.  But the one thing I know (and its the only thing I really need to know) is that our mutual honesty at all times (regardless of the content) is the most valuable quality on the planet – to me.  The honesty may make the mountains taller, but it also allows us to climb higher.  In short, who you are with one person, is who you are with everyone.

…so, when in doubt, trust the gut.  Its the fine print you can’t really read, but should!!

Real courage is the ability to confront our lives directly.  Sometimes that means it gets messy, sometimes it means emotion is involved and sometimes it means we stop “being so perfect” and become real.  That is courage.  The ability to love your whole self (textures, tastes and edges) enough to be honest about who you are, what you want, what is right and what is wrong for you, regardless of how you are perceived.  If in your authenticity, you tire or offend or misstep; at least you were true.

When we are courageous, we learn the difference between truth and illusion.  I have never regretted being fully human when I needed to be, regardless of how “pretty it is” to others. Those that avoid such vulnerable moments, probably have the habit of avoiding many things.

True authenticity will tell you who your friends are, who loves you or who does not, but most importantly, true authenticity leaves you with no regrets.  I have never felt in my entire life (with all of its changes and transformations) that I missed an opportunity to say, do or express my truth at a critical moment.  Because I always knew, that moment would be gone.

Tell people how you feel, say what you need to say, deal with situations with your greatest authenticity.  Have courage. That is where a peaceful gut and peaceful mind derive their strength.
