Don’t turn away from what’s painful. Examine it. Challenge it.

Steven Speilberg gave a commencement speech at Harvard, and he credited following his intuition as the key to his success. He also encouraged the class to find their intuition and follow it.



He said:



"But then I directed The Colour Purple. And this one film opened my eyes to experiences that I never could have imagined, and yet were all too real. This story was filled with deep pain and deeper truths, like when Shug Avery says, ‘Everything wants to be loved.’ My gut, which was my intuition, told me that more people needed to meet these characters and experience these truths. And while making that film, I realised that a movie could also be a mission. I hope all of you find that sense of mission. Don’t turn away from what’s painful. Examine it. Challenge it."



And then he said:

"Love, support, courage, intuition. All of these things are in your hero’s quiver..."

Steven Spielberg speech , and we were so thrilled to hear that his entire speech at Harvard boiled down to listening to your intuition.



Because we all have access to intuition. And when we tap into it and follow it - everything changes.



I want to share with you one more thing he said, because it's vital to know that YOU have intuition (it's not just reserved for the special few)...



He said:

"And again, this is why it’s so important to listen to your internal whisper. It’s the same one that compelled Abraham Lincoln and Oskar Schindler to make the correct moral choices. In your defining moments, do not let your morals be swayed by convenience or expediency. Sticking to your character requires a lot of courage."

Are you ready to tap into and follow your intuition today ?
