Instincts, You Say?

Sometimes we need something to inspire us. Maybe it is a book, a quote, talking to someone who has success (whatever that means to you personally) or just being aware and awake to something that happens to appear in our lives that just...makes sense. Whatever it is, believe in it.
I have so many ideas for my life and how it will pan out. I have so much I want to do and be a part of someday. I want to learn languages, travel the world, raise a family and go to the spa whenever I feel like it (ohhhh...and I also want to be able to sing and play the guitar and learn how to ride a skateboard, and the list goes on...).
So, my question is, "Why don't I pursue any of these aspirations?" Is it money? Time? Laziness? Probably all of the above. But, I also think it has a lot to do with not following my instincts. Ah Ha! Instincts, I say! If I jumped on my insitnct to take guitar lessons, pretty soon I would be able to read music. If I took a class, or practiced what I kind of already know, in no time I could very well be fluent in spanish.
Knowing this, I should begin pushing myself in the ocean of my dreams. Have I? Well, I talk about it a lot. I know what I will do once I get there. Does that help?
Not really...
Someone I respect and love very much visited me the other day. As she was leaving to go to the airport, we hugged and she said to me, "Follow your intincts girl!" Okay I will, I responded.
It wasn't until the next morning that it made sense to me. Follow my instincts, huh? Okay, I can try that out.
So, here I am, "following my instincts." Day two.
