Trust Your Indications

I had a Commanding Officer on my submarine who enjoyed leading by way of a handful of quippy phrases. He would say “trust your indications,” meaning there are markers and signs all around that are creating a picture for you, no matter what you believe to be true.

See, people are the only creatures that rationalize clear and present danger.

The Rabbit and the Hawk

No smart rabbit is going to see the circling hawk and think, “I don’t think that hawk can see me, I’m ok just sitting here.” Rationalizing this indication of a hungry hawk will surely get the rabbit eaten.

Your Financial Indications

What financial indications are you rationalizing away?

Is it ok that your debt balance is moving up, your minimum payments take up a lot of your income, your savings can’t cover a minor car repair, and your money is gone just about the time payday rolls around? Hey rabbit, you are about to get eaten if you don’t make some different decisions right now.

Stop rationalizing these dangerous financial indications and take action.

Take Action

I invite you to connect with me to take a serious look at what your surroundings and indications are telling you. When you connect with me, you are taking action to win.
