August 20, 2024 – Daily Musing – Fear or Intuition?

I saw a job that I wanted to apply for.  It sounded perfect for me!  It was just what I wanted.  However, instead of being flooded with excitement, I was flooded with fear and dread.  Everyone said I should apply for this job.  My anxiety increased.  I asked myself, is this fear or intuition?

This has been a question I have asked myself for decades.  Looking back with 20 20 vision, sometimes it was fear and sometimes it as intuition.  At the age of 55, I still do not have an answer.  Even though I did a google search and read a few articles, I still could not find an answer.

However, I do know if I am so anxious about a choice, it is the wrong choice.  I don’t mean like regular anxiety; I mean strong anxiety.  I am a pretty sensitive person and usually pick up things that my mind can’t understand.  So no, I did not apply for the job, and I am at total peace.  I feel certain that my choice was correct even though it defies logic.  I am calm.
