Trust Your Inner Snake 🐍

Decoding Your Brain's Secret Messages

In 1865, German chemist August Kekulé had a dream of a snake biting its own tail.

Had he ignored his intuition, you’d still be scrubbing your undies on a washboard.

Kekulé was wrestling with benzene’s molecular structure — the key to modern detergents. Enter the prophetic self-consuming snake and boom! 

Tide pods.

Intuition is your brain’s way of connecting patterns from minimal inputs. You use it all the time:

Sketchy-looking Uber driver?

“Oh, I forgot something!”

** sprints away like Forrest Gump **

Your gut feelings aren’t magic — they’re a highlight reel of your past experiences. And like any skill, you can train it.

Picture intuition as the tin-foil hat dude with a corkboard full of red strings connecting fuzzy polaroids. That’s your brain, frantically joining dots you didn’t even know existed.

Kekulé was so immersed in his research that his brain kept crunching data even when he was drooling on his pillow.

In your case, your tastes, passions, and micro-obsessions are constantly feeding your pattern-hungry mind.

So next time your inner snake whispers, listen up.

It might just spark the next world-changing idea — or at least save you from a questionable Uber ride.

See you on the next one! 🫶
