Good “R.E.D. Friday” Morning “Posse Leader” from the semi-overcast skies of the MetroWest Area of Boston...where our temperature is a mild 71° with 4% Humidity and winds NNE at 6mph...
“Instincts Day!” Why Not?

1) "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." - Albert Einstein

2) "Learn to nurture and trust your instincts as well as your conscious reasoning. Often, one's instincts will offer the better judgment." - Ken Danby

3) "Just really, really believe in what you're trying to do. Don't let people alter that. Let people advise you and lead you down paths to make smart business decisions. But trust your instinct and trust that overwhelming drive that made you put all your dreams and everything on the line." - Luke Bryan

4) "If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

5) "You must have the courage to trust your instincts and be ready to question what other people don't. If you do that, you can seize opportunities that others would miss. Believe in yourself, and use everything you can - including the obstacles - to propel you along the road to success. Who knows what you might achieve?" - Richard Branson

Some things can be felt and instinct is one of those hidden elements. Know that...

“As a leader you have to know what your body is telling you – tension, tightening gut, clammy skin — those are your instincts sending a message — know them and use them properly!”— COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

SGT (Join to see) wonderful words of wisdom today. Trust your Gut instincts. I remember the the times I allowed myself to override the voice in my head and paid the price for it. As I have grown I realize it is best to trust in myself. the only downside is if your wrong you need to accept that also, we all make mistakes....

I expect that your instincts have helped you survive, endure, and thrive since you were young. I expect that since your personal salvation, the Holy Spirit has taken away some instincts and replaced them with other instincts that have blessed you and those you love and are responsible for. I expect that you are a doer of the Word of God and not merely a passive listener. I expect that like me, you have asked the LORD for wisdom and understanding: 'Who has put wisdom in the inward parts or given understanding to the mind? [Job 17:36 ESV] Kerry.
I pray you that I trust the LORD of all creation as HE spiritually matures each of HIS own through the perfectly executed sanctification process. I pray LORD that YOU bless us with discernment, eyes to see and ears to hear what we need to see and hear as YOU hone our desires and instincts. I pray that YOU infuse hope into those who are overly fearful and peace for those who are deeply troubled. ‘You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.' [Isaiah 26:3-4 ESV], my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see) .

Holy Spirit, I thank YOU for dwelling with the soul of each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters and sanctifying our souls. I pray LORD that YOU bless each one of YOURS with an increase of YOUR fruit: kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, and peace. I pray that YOU guide each of us daily to bless others physically and through prayer as YOU lead us to pray. I pray that we each do our best to help others and use YOUR fruit for the good of all.
I pray LORD that each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads this prayer understands and heeds the admonition of the LORD. I pray dear LORD that each of us are doers of YOUR word 'For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.' [Romans 2:12-16 ESV]
I pray LORD that YOU hone and prune the instincts of the elected leaders, legislators, appointed officials, and judges throughout the USA, as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America]. I pray that they are becoming more outwardly focused on helping others. I pray that YOU motivate each one to work together across political divides and increase trustworthiness in negotiations for legislature and policy.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and your loved ones sleep well Friday night and will awake healthy on Saturday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Another good quote from COL Mikel:
Always trust your first gut instincts, if you genuinely feel in your heart & soul that something is wrong it usually is.

Good morning and welcome to another RED Friday. Have my shirt ready to go!
I often tell my clients to "trust their gut" and when they do they are rarely steered wrong. Instinct reads all the things we don't consciously evaluate: body language, situational awareness, threat level, and the list goes on and on. It's there to keep you safe and if that alert system is going off, there is probably a good reason for it. Listen, evaluate and decide.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Great selection of quotes today on this fine "R.E.D. Friday" morning and great advice on the topic of "Instincts" Charlie. I have my R.E.D. Friday shirt on as well (check it out from the "Eagle's Nest!" Give Tom our very best and have a great day Charlie. Keep this in mind as my additonal thought of the day:

"May your instincts always treat you right and keep you headed in the right direction; may your instincts always be fuled by your positive attitude toward yourself, life, and the people around you; may your resilient along with your instincts get you through the tough times we face in today's world; and may you always count on your instincts to take the best care of yourself, and keep your family safe, secure, and healthy. Listen to your gut or that voice that doesn't say any words but will set off the right alarms - Your Instincts!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Hearing of the inner voice makes me think of a program i watched of Tom Sellek in Magnum/ he always spoke of listening to his inner voice. Awareness of my inner voice is one i need to pay more attention to.
Thanks for posting.

Great quote SP5 Mark Kuzinski My instincts have been good to me brother!

"May your instincts always treat you right and keep you headed in the right direction; may your instincts always be fueled by your positive attitude toward yourself, life, and the people around you; may your resilient along with your instincts get you through the tough times we face in today's world; and may you always count on your instincts to take the best care of yourself, and keep your family safe, secure, and healthy.
