Most of us should be aware about that inner-voice or gut-feeling of ours- which in many unknown-uncertain-scary situations gives us - a very-weak momentarily passing sense of - warning-caution-foreboding.
At times this intuition also puts the most correctest-rightest-bestest alternative ideas, answers, solutions and options - in our conscious brain - subtly.
If we are able to sharpen our strengths, our inner-resources, our capabilities & our abilities - the growth and the powerful-meaningful-transformational-impactful differences we can have left as legacy plus quantum and quality of our success - can get beyond our wildest dreams.

The strengthening of our sixth-sense and intuition will only happen - if we can practice it to the fullest and keep refining it on everyday basis by using it everywhere.
When are able to create synergy between our intuition-ESP-gut-feeling-sixth-sense - with our five fundamental senses - then we can have explosive-growth and profound-blissful-accomplishments - in every walk of our life.
This sixth-sense - is feeling-sense - which gets fine-tuned through reinvigoration of our five basic senses and then focusing on sharpening it by practical-application in real-life situations.
