Your intuition is your guidance.
You are much more than what you can see. The more aware you are of your inner strengths, the more you use them correctly. Nothing can go wrong.
In the movie, Fried Green Tomatoes, Evelyn Couch (Kathy Bates), went about her daily life, taking care of everyone else she could on a daily basis. She was living her life through other people. Evelyn knew what she wanted to have in her life, but she kept it in the background of her mind, not the foreground.
