If you know me, you know I’ve got a geeky science side.
I’m fascinated by Albert Einstein, the life he led, the answers to questions he pursued, the discoveries he made. He’s top of my list when someone asks if we could sit down for a chat with anyone in history who would that be.
Mostly, I admire his thought process. How he favored intuition over logic.
Yep, my kind of guy
I’m habitually curious. I’m highly intuitive. I also believe intuition is something we’re all born with, every bit as much a natural part of our being as the recognized five senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell.

Favorite Quotes Attributed to Albert Einstein
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
Drop the mic. Boom.
The only source of knowledge is experience.
Often the most meaningful experience comes from following our intuition. When more knowledge about a subject just keeps us stuck on deciding what to do next, it’s listening to our intuition that moves us forward.
My belief is that intuition is always correct. It’s our interpretation of it that can be skewed. Good news is, like learning to play the piano, understanding our intuition improves with practice.
If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.
Hand up. There’s much in this world I don’t understand well enough to explain my view on it simply. I’m a work in progress. However, my intuition serves me well when the understanding of things is murky. When I must move forward with limited knowledge and no guarantee what I think I know is actually true.
It’s times like this when I know for sure that intuition trumps logic.

When you’re backed into a corner, reach back for your intuition!
Absolutely! Sage advice, Chef Dennis. Thanks for sharing.
One of my favorite quotes is from Einstein: “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”
As a recovered perfectionist, learning to trust my intuition played a major part in learning to let go and just go with it. Regardless of it being perfect.
I’m not surprised we share a fondness for that Einstein quote. Thank you for sharing more of it. Looking at your body of work now, I think you’ve recovered well from your former perfectionist.
Someone once suggested that intuition could be the result of our brain processing all of the extraneous data our subconscious feeds it and giving us insight into things our conscious mind is unaware of.
That’s an awesome way of thinking about intuition, Lillian. So glad you shared it. Definitely, adding it to my reference files about intuition.
