Do What YOU Feel Is Best
Do you remember a bright moment in your life when you were extremely happy, successful or both? Do you recall how you arrived at that moment? Did you get there on your own, or through consultation and advice?
I ask these questions because in my own life, some of my best moments were those where I followed my instincts and feelings. At 20 years old, I made my first appearance in the Detroit News for a business I co-founded with a childhood friend. We couldn’t afford a copywriter or PR firm at the time, so in my usual DIY nature, I wrote our press release and shopped it around Detroit until Detroit’s largest newspaper showed interest.
Looking back on that moment, I am reminded that it’s okay to live and succeed on feelings and instincts. For me, it’s my way of being true and honest to myself and the world. You cannot wait for your mentor or adviser to guide you on everything in life. Sometimes, you just have to take a leap of faith and do what you feel is right.
Of course, doing what you feel will not always guarantee success, but ultimately, you will learn about sacrifice and risk in the interim. Never be afraid to do what you feel in life. It’s the best adviser you’ll ever have.
