Much has been made of the importance of our gut (that thing in us that says go or stay). I am in this camp. That said, there is more to our "gut" than what meets the eye…the eye of the soul.
One of the reasons people are lousy at their particular vocation, is because they don’t have a clue about the why or what. In other words why was I born and what was I born to do. Those that answer those questions tend to be the most productive, and successful.
Once we know the destiny, we can begin to follow our gut with confidence.
