Thought for Today

This morning, I picked up The Artist’s Way and flipped it open to a random page.

My eyes landed on this line:

“Trust in yourself.

Your perceptions are often far more accurate than you are willing to believe.”

— Claudia Black

I sat with it for a moment because… damn.

Isn’t that the truth?

So much of this season of my life has been about learning to trust what my body knows before my mind catches up.

Trusting the quiet tug in my chest.

Trusting the discomfort that signals misalignment.

Trusting the clarity that always arrives when I stop overriding myself out of fear, politeness, or habit.

We spend years being told to doubt our intuition,

to be “reasonable,”

to wait for more proof,

to second-guess what we feel.

Trusting myself doesn’t magically solve everything,

but it consistently points me in the right direction.

So today, this is my reminder—to me and maybe to you too:

Your knowing is not a guess.

Your intuition is not a problem to solve.

Your perception is not an inconvenience.

It’s wisdom.

It’s your compass.

And it’s time to believe it.
