According to Merriam-Webster.com, "intuitive" is an adjective defined as having the ability to know or understand things without any proof or evidence; perceiving by intuition; and agreeing with what seems naturally right. I have been intuitive for as long as I can remember. However, prior to my 20's, I did not always trust my intuitiveness, because I also tend to be a perfectionist. This was not a good combination for a young man, because it made me doubt myself and sometimes stifle my decision making process as I strived for what I believed was "perfection." As I've matured, I've learned to balance these traits, so that I may use them to my advantage.

Being intuitive has helped me make better decisions, because I've learned to balance the facts (or what seems logical) with what I feel is right or wrong (or what is intuitive) during specific situations. My decisions aren't always the best, but most of the time it helps. Being intuitive has been an asset in all my creative endeavors too.

It has helped me know when working on a written piece, work of art, or craft; decorating a room in a practical and aesthetically pleasing manner; cooking a special dish; getting dressed to impress; conducting a lesson for my students; and even when interacting with my family, friends and others.

What a wonderful post you've posted!!
Intuïtion... i rely on it, totaly, if i may say so. Having had a life wich was not all that simple and fun, i have learned through a very hard way that many people are not who they seem te be. Being careful, not wanting to get hurt again by placing trust in those who don't deserve it.. i trust my intuïtion completely
Have a nice day!

You bring up some interesting points with intuition and intuitiveness. As I've grown in my walk with the Lord I believe He has given me discernment and wisdom and a Scripture that I lean on heavily is Proverbs 3:5,6,7. God is so faithful when I take the time to take everything to Him in prayer. He is interested in even the small details!
I sometimes go by my intuitions, haven't regretted about it.
We have to trust our intuition or else we would never
achieve anything.
I love the picture of your three girls.
Good and thoughtful post Arnoldo, as ever!
Best wishes,

I am intuitive in my life ... but doing my artwork I am not very intuitive..I think I am more using what I have learnt during many years and what I like to do..
this intuitive word is just too modern now....
Happy weekend!

Always enjoy your narrative and your art work.
I was fortunate to grow up in a home where intuition was acknowledged and honored, so yes, do use it. And feel intuition is helpful in creating art.
When I'm trying to tempt my preschool grandkids to do something, I'll often say, "I'm going to use my psychic powers," (to guess who will clean up, or get dressed first, or choose something) ... my daughter says at times they'll tell her "I'm using my psychic powers ..."
Have a wonderful weekend.

As for trusting my intuition at all times, I must say I'm more like you. I can be a perfectionist, although I'm learning that authenticity beats perfection and our intuition is more on point than we think.
Yes, I am also very intuitive, though I did not realize it for a long time.
