If it sounds too good to be true - it really is

Some of us are easily distracted by things such as bright, shiny objects and opportunities that seem to be perfect. So perfect, in fact, we can hardly believe they are real. Well here’s what I’ve learned the hard way - if it’s too good to be true - it is too good to be true. It really is. Don’t waste any further time, heartbreak or money trying to learn any different outcome. This is a fact!

So how do you know when it’s too good to be true? The fact that you even think ‘this is too good to be true’ is a very good start. The next step would be to listen to your gut. That’s right - the thing you keep trying to ignore because it won’t let you have all the fun, exciting things you want - like the $600 Jimmy Choo’s you’re better off not affording. If your gut is nagging and trying to claw it’s way up your esophagus to reach you before you make a huge mistake - your wise to take notice and really, really listen to what it’s telling you because it has a lot to say. 

I am personally well trained in the art of ignoring my gut and it has landed me in real pickle from time to time. I figure I’ve learned how to start paying attention. The first step is to pay attention to those not so ‘good’ feelings when you’re entering into one of these ‘perfect’ situations. And next? Get out. Don’t try to work it out because you’re only wasting time and you aren’t likely to see any improvement. 

Our gut - aka our ‘instinct’ is there for a reason. And it will be your best wing-man in any given situation so do it a favour and listen!
