The Instinct Test

Want to Know What Someone Really Thinks About You? Leave Them Alone and Watch What They Reach For

If you really want to know what a person thinks about you, leave them alone.

When faced with a decision, stand back and see what they instinctively reach for.

There were times people thought I was being extremely closed off. I really wasn’t. The thing is, people treat you how they think about you—or how they feel about you. The world says you need to give people the ~benefit of the doubt~ and put a ~bow on it~ and hope for the best. But that’s not being responsible. That’s being naive.

When I say leave them alone and step back, it’s because most people are instinctive. What they reach for is what’s embedded deep inside of them. What they truly desire.

Then, as life begins to progress and their decisions unfold, they themselves—as well as all of them around them—will see if they made the wisest choice.

The sooner you conclude that what others do has nothing to do with you, the freer you’ll be. You can’t build a solid house—or a solid life (translation: your mindset)—on a weak foundation.

Jesus Christ is the truth and the solid rock on which we stand.  Matthew 7:24-25.

Soul Esteem was written for those on a journey of excavating their lives and laying the proper foundation so the building (the soul), which is your mind, will, and intellect, has a solid base. Once the foundation is solid, everything else can be built on truth.
