Keith Brown’s Story: Trusting Creative Intuition in Risky Situations
Magician Keith Brown was performing a magic trick in front of a live audience when his Creative Intuition began sending him clear warning signals to stop. Creative Intuition had always helped Keith navigate risky situations, but during this performance, he chose to ignore those signals and continued with the trick. The show ended with thunderous applause, but Keith left the stage with a dangerous reminder—a needle stuck in his chest.
Despite the cheers of the audience and the completion of the trick, Keith couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling his intuition had warned him about. Eventually, he decided to listen to his Creative Intuition and went to the hospital, where an X-ray confirmed that a sewing needle was lodged in his body, dangerously close to his spine. By trusting his intuition before it was too late, Keith was able to avert a potentially life-threatening outcome.
The Role of Creative Intuition in Business Decisions
Keith Brown’s experience is a powerful reminder of why it’s important to listen to your Creative Intuition, especially when faced with a high-risk situation. In business, just as in magic, there are times when a decision may seem risky, but your intuition sends you signals to guide you. Recognizing these signals and acting accordingly can prevent costly mistakes and lead to significant breakthroughs.
A Lesson from Steve Jobs
Even visionary leaders like Steve Jobs relied on their intuition to achieve success. Steve Jobs used his Creative Intuition to make the decision to move forward with a business he started in his garage, ultimately turning it into the globally recognized brand we know today as Apple. In an inspiring speech at Stanford University, Jobs spoke about how different types of intuition—Creative, Experiential, Relational, and Situational—played a crucial role in his success and how trusting those instincts could lead others to achieve greatness.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re on stage performing a magic trick or in the boardroom making a critical business decision, trusting your intuition—especially your Creative Intuition—can be the difference between success and failure, and sometimes even life and death. Learning to recognize and trust those intuitive signals can help you avoid dangerous situations and make decisions that drive positive outcomes.
