The intuitive mind is the Wizard Within. It is the voice of your intuition and inspiration. The rational mind is that of the Inner Critic - the voice of your self-doubt and fear. The Wizard Within makes choices and takes action based on gut instinct and creative inspiration. The Inner Critic makes choices and takes action based on fear of failure, fear of success, fear of rejection, fear of humiliation, and fear of change.

The intuitive mind is the Wizard Within. It is the voice of your intuition and inspiration. The rational mind is that of the Inner Critic - the voice of your self-doubt and fear. The Wizard Within makes choices and takes action based on gut instinct and creative inspiration. The Inner Critic makes choices and takes action based on fear of moving beyond current comfort zones, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of rejection, fear of humiliation, etc.
Wizard Within decisions will always, without exception, result in good outcomes. Inner Critic decisions will always, without exception, result in unwanted outcomes. Universally. Whether the decision is made by a person, a company or even a government. Intuition and Inspiration = good outcome. Fear and doubt = unwanted outcome.
Examine the decisions you've made in your life. Whenever you made a choice based on a negative feeling - fear, doubt, lack, worry, stress - things didn't work out the way you wanted. When you've acted on pure intuition and a gut 'knowingness' you've enjoyed good results!
It's easy to tell what the choice or the action you are about to take is based on. If it is created through intuition or inspiration you feel good. If it's a reaction that is based in fear or self-doubt you don't feel so good. So, if you're not feeling good about what you're about to do, stop! Re-examine. Ask yourself what you want to create instead of what you are running away from.
You are operating from pure intuition and inspiration in those moments when you are in the zone. You are fully engaged, have no sense of time, and are enjoying whatever it is you are doing. These are energetic moments of pure joy, bliss and peace. It is the moment when you are fully conscious, firing on all cylinders and creating your art of human expression.
The gift you give to yourself is in the rich delicious life experienced when guided by the intuitive mind rather than the reluctant. It is a life fully experienced rather than simply existed. It is the difference between a life of quiet desperation and the fullest expression of your soul, the song in your heart, the fulfillment of personal passions.
Self-Doubt Critic Folly
Inner Critic folly is those unquestioned and erroneous limiting beliefs you have about yourself that place limitations on your abilities. They may be conscious or unconscious. In other words, you often hold these assumptions you've made about yourself (and what is possible for you) far below the level of your everyday awareness. You are often unconscious to the fact that these beliefs are what guide your decisions and motivations.
Stuck in a Rut? Stop Dragging the Reluctant
Are you stuck in a rut? Procrastinating? Finding excuses and reasons why you can't have what you want? If you answered yes to any of those questions then you are spending your days dragging The Reluctant along. Sometimes the reluctant weighs so heavy upon you that you can't move forward at all, so you're stuck, right where you are, unable to achieve much of anything.
Relationships: A Mirrored Reflection of You
You have a lot of personal and professional relationships in life. Some relationships are loving, satisfying, uplifting, supportive and enrich your life experience. Other relationships are tense, adversarial, problematic, strained, and exhausting. You don't like, or avoid, spending time with the people who drain your life energy. The funny thing is that all of your relationships, good and bad, are a reflection of you!
