Knowing how to make your dreams a reality requires a few things. You have to know what you want, you have to know your self well enough to know that it's really what you want because if you really want it bad enough--you're going to have to work your butt off to get it.
When going with your intuition, you are going with nothing more than a thought or a feeling. People call these hunches and a lot of times they will be right. If they are really good at it, they can have it guide them throughout their life; no matter what the situation. I have a theory about intuition and that is that it can protect you and guide you throughout your life. And so far, so good.
