Trust your instinct.
Seriously—listen to it and follow it. You are your own best adviser.

As shared in The Jackrabbit Factor and explored even more deeply in Portal to Genius, we all have access to that quiet voice in our heart. The one that nudges us gently in the right direction—guiding us to do exactly what needs to be done, and to become everything we’re meant to become.

Some call it a gut feeling, others call it an inner voice, the Holy Spirit, or the Spirit of God. Whatever name feels right to you—it’s real. And it’s there for you. Especially as you strive to live true principles. The key is to slow down, listen patiently, and be willing to follow those impressions when they come.

The more you tune in and act on that inner guidance, the more often it will show up for you. It may take a little practice to recognize and trust it, but it is so worth it.

When you're in the middle of information overload, though? It becomes harder to hear. All that mental "noise" can drown out your own best adviser: that still, small voice inside.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by too much information—especially the kind you feel you should keep up with but don’t have time for—check out my earlier post: Too Much Information?

One leader, Richard G. Scott, once taught that those quiet promptings often come when you're the most still and peaceful. That’s why it’s so helpful to keep a notepad and pen by your bed. When the ideas come, they often come quickly, softly—and if you don’t write them down, they can just as quickly fade away.

Here’s a powerful example: a group of missionaries followed that very advice. They felt prompted to prepare—just 2 to 3 weeks before the devastating 8.8 earthquake in Chile on February 27, 2010.
