“It takes time for a seedling to push through the ground and mature into a flower-bearing plant. Yet, each moment of a plant’s life cycle can bring joy to those who notice its beauty. In the same way, enjoy the process of realizing your dreams. Slow down and feel gratitude, as each step brings your manifestation into tangible form.  Notice the lessons and love that spring from every moment that you engage in acting upon your dreams.” ~  Archangel Jophiel by Doreen Virtue

We can think of instincts as the computer system of intuition. Instincts are drives and behaviors that help guide us through life without having to stop and figure everything out. They organize our perceptions of what’s going on around us through natural selections. Intuition, likewise, lets us see and respond to our life without calling rational problem-solving into play. There is an organic knowing at work. Instinct and intuition go hand in hand. If you trust your instincts, you probably have well-developed intuitive powers.

Bumps in the road are part of life. Like sharp rocks that can puncture our tires; sometimes going slow and easy gets us through to the Joy just around the corner.
