Good news, bad news\u2026as well as INCORRECT\/outright FAKE news (aka rumours).<\/p>\n<p><em>I consider that last one the most dangerous - because the damage it does can be so difficult to repair. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll never be able to foresee <strong>who<\/strong> will send out such news, or <strong>when<\/strong>. That\u2019s why we\u2019ll be better off learning how to intelligently sieve <strong>any <\/strong>news that comes our way for truth.<\/p>\n<p>That would reduce the spread of rumours that could cause problems, or even ruin another person\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is It Normal for Us to Believe The Worst of Ourselves?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>No it\u2019s not. I know this based on my childhood experiences \u2013 and also from closely observing children.<\/p>\n<p>We are born as very positive minded human beings. Schooling and societal conditioning are what push us towards negative mindedness.<\/p>\n<p>Stop and think about this for a moment.<strong> I mean STOP right now. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Think back to when you were young. You will likely recall that you thought good of everyone, believed everyone liked you, and that they would treat you well etc.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With the exception of people who grew up in abusive homes, this was the case for most of us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>However, for many people, all that changed as we grew into adulthood\u2026sometimes subtly.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A quotable quote I recently read stated that most adults readily believe bad things they hear (or read) about another person. They rarely even bother to ask questions to be sure it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But when it\u2019s a good thing, these same persons insist on seeing (or hearing) proof, to believe!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Looking back, my experiences suggest it\u2019s true\u2026<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Don\u2019t Let Society Change You Into Who You\u2019re Not: Use Your 6th Sense to Establish Truth!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>However, I refuse to let that influence me as a person.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I refuse to let it change me into who I am not.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>That\u2019s why I personally <strong>only<\/strong> use hear say as a guide, in my interpersonal interactions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To establish truth, I have learnt, from experience, to depend heavily on my 6th sense (listening to my <strong>deepest feelings<\/strong>, and acting based on them) \u2013 each time I relate with others.<\/p>\n<p>This is a simple common sense strategy usable by<strong> anyone<\/strong>. We were all born with this ability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And that\u2019s why it remains a mind boggling mystery, at least to me, why most people fail to use it. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>I use it, it IS the number one reason why I never have doubts that make me get worried or anxious. <\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Using My 6th Sense to Successfully Practice Location Independent Entrepreneuring (True Story)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s almost the end of my third month in a new country, where the language spoken (French) is VERY different from that spoken in my country of origin, and birth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When I arrived in Benin Republic on April 1st, 2013, I knew nobody. Not one person. I came in by road, from Lagos, carrying a backpack, a traveller\u2019s bag\u2026and the intermediate French language skill I acquired in 1999.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today, I\u2019ve successfully integrated myself into this French speaking African society. I now serve a local (Web Marketing) client \u2013 who has already given me a referral.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Tayo Solagbade - Location Independent Multipreneur\" href=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/uploads\/tks-in-moumouni-1000.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tayo Solagbade - Location Independent Multipreneur\" src=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/uploads\/tks-in-moumouni-500.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/sdnuggets\/what-do-you-do-when-people-are-scared-to-trust-you\" target=\"_blank\">But it took some doing<\/a>. Among other things, my 6th sense helped me <a href=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/sdnuggets\/how-to-unmask-defeat-blood-sucking-vampires\" target=\"_blank\">identify those who wanted to exploit me<\/a>. With time, I used it to nurture relationships with the right people, till things clicked in place.<\/p>\n<p>I also continue to serve clients back in Nigeria. <em>They deposit (or transfer) cash into my account, in Nigeria, and I deliver the promised product or service. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Recently, a long time Nigeria-based client\u2019s website hosting expired. We\u2019d known each other for over 5 years, so he trusted me enough to ask his staff to make the payment into my account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I did not disappoint him.
