Intuition our inner voice is something we may have to learn to listen to it again.
Edison, for example, he got quiet and used to ask questions, he knew how to access the inner wisdom,
he used to take catnaps and got answers or solutions to the things he wanted to create.
Here is a Story, I followed the Intuition. It may not matter to anybody in the world,
but it matters to me and certainly Habibou.
Update on Habibou, he is not a scam.
A few months ago I wrote about Habibou, he asked for help. I asked People for opinion what to do,
everybody told me he is a scam, do not believe him.
Here the article> http://erikamohssen-beyk.com/erika/habibou-is-he-really-scam/
I thought maybe everybody is right and I am wrong.
But it kept me thinking and because I am listening to my heart I could not forget and let it go.
When I was working outside where I usually get my answers when I ask questions.
I was thinking what if it is really true what he tells, would it not be right to help?
I asked for a sign or an answer, what to do.
This is what everybody can do who knows how to listen to the inner voice and follow Intuition.
Gandhi said the voice for truth speaks to every person on the planet every single
day. The Truth is what the voice within tells you.
Do you listen to your inner voice?
In the afternoon, when I came into the house, there was a book on the table I just was reading. I opened it to take a look inside and
there was my sign. It said:” It is better to risk saving a guilty man than condemn an innocent one” – Voltaire
This was right what I have been thinking about the whole time, “what if” in case he is really not honest, would it be possible to change this by talking to him and get him to a right way?
I had tested him, he is a Moslem and I know enough Arabic and the prayer to ask him questions,
And I know he would not lie about. He answered them and did write even down the parts I asked him about.
His father had died and he had in his mind, that he needs to study, if not he would never get out of his situation.
Also, his principal wrote me emails, that he is a good student. The money for the school was sent, so he could finish it.
Asking for help
I asked some people for help, nobody wanted to do something. Two friends spent 20$ each one time.
Searching, I found a group of people in Switzerland they had a site for help for Gambia and sent Habibou to the address, no help, I sent an email, no answer.
It is so much easier to give 20$ to an organization, you do not need to think about, but have the feeling you did charity.
Charities are not always what they seem to be.
I always was helping but only personally, not organizations.
There were a few links on this subject, I did research, but I decided not to put them here.
It is easy to find out about organizations for charity.
I started to talk with Habibou: change your thinking, visualize and believe, look for signs and find other ways, always be grateful and thankful. Make him understand it has nothing to do with school education if he wants to get out of this situation, but with his thinking and mindset. And what was needed for him really came in unexpected ways.
And what was needed for him really came in unexpected ways, which made me believe to do the right thing.
It was adventurous, first, they got thrown out of the house where they lived and had to camp in parking lots and empty houses. He went into the bush to cut wood in the Rain period, which is forbidden there, to make a bit of money selling it.
He got Malaria, the doctors did not help without money. They had nothing to eat and starving. He started to plant greens.
He should go for the exam, the principle wrote the class needs to participate in an excursion they need for the exam.
I wrote back this is ridiculous, how can they want this ( it costs money) when the bellies are hungry.
He said there is nothing he can do if he wants to finish the exam he needs to go.
Right before the excursion, he fell from the Mango tree and near broke his arm sitting with pain in the hospital, nobody helps.
It is a truth, without money and being male over there you can die, only women and little kids may get help if they are lucky.
I did read the reports of the WHO.
A good exam
But finally, he made it and did a good exam. We talked him out of thinking he needs to study to get out of his situation and understand that we need rather people working a job they like to do and think the right way, than unemployed scientists.
He said he would like to be a mechanic and with his good exam he found a place where they accepted him.
Now, he wanted to work and earn money to pay all back. I said I do not want it back and he asked should I do for others what you did for me?
Yes, this is the way, feed your family and if you have more help others.
Now, he wants to go to be a good mechanic, feed his family and continues learning to think differently.
Hopefully, he will be able to help others.
Did you do things based on your intuition?
What was the outcome?
There are many great people they did listen to the inner voice to solve problems like Edison Gandhi, Einstein.
Albert Einstein, he said: “If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask… for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.” He was following Intuition
Are you listening to your inner voice?
Please leave a comment and share your experience.
And not to forget, Habibou even started a blog > Life In Gambia. See what he had to say.
Hello Erika, I did miss this story you talked about this Habibou and did go and read it. I did leave you a comment over there and now will tell you right here what I think. You are a very caring and giving person and this Habibou is very lucky to have met you. This all does sound so unreal and hard to believe but as your post is tilted sometimes you just need to start Following Intuition!
Thanks for sharing and do have an Awesome Easter Weekend Ahead.. Chery :))

Hi Chery ,
Thank you for looking at the other post as well.
I too had my doubt first ,but it did not let me go and usually if I go with my heart and intuition, it is right .
I do not know what will be about this story, but I have the feeling it was for a reason.
We will see maybe in the furure.
Thank you very much
Erika
Hi Erica, Truly a sad, but uplifting story. I’m so glad that you listened inside to be able to help this young man. I’m so impressed with his inner strength that he was willing to do what it took to make a better life for himself and his family. We all do take too much for granted in this country. Seeds of blessings will follow you. Thanks for sharing.
BG Jenkins recently posted…Do You Need a Second Chance?
Hi BG,
Happy you read this story,I think the kids in countries like Gambia still know how to help themselves most of the time and have improvisational skills.
What they really would need is advice and different thinking. What is the one thing which made Habibou panic was sickness, this is a big problem there.
Because without money, there is no help. It is amazing how they find ways to survive, I think the kids here would not be able to do this.
You are right he is willing to work to help his family and he learned that he is responsible for his life.
I think he may be a seed and can help others.
Thank you
Erika
Thank you for sharing Habibou’s story. It isn’t always easy to know which voice to listen to, when there are conflicting voices. You heard one voice clearly and you are acting on it. Good for you, and for the results that are being shown in his young life.
Willena Flewelling recently posted…It’s Never Too Late
Hi Willena ,
you are right sometimes it is not easy to find out which voice is right,
the best sign is if you feel good about it.There are always other voices too
and the right one seems not always convenient, it needs practise.
Often the way the voice is sending you is right the opposite of everybody
else would go.
Thank you Willena
Erika
great post i enjoyed reading… happy Easter to you

Hi Erika,
What a moving story and learning to follow your own heart and instincts. Sometimes we are wrong but sometimes right, just as you were in this case. I am happy for you and for Habibou and his family.
Thanks for sharing this post. It’s something that we all need to think about more than we do.

Hi Monna,
listening to the inner voice is good.
It is not always easy to know which is the right one. In Habibou’s case it was
right. I hope he is going to be able to do what he wants.
Thank you
Erika
Hi Erika,
That inner voice is in all of us. No matter what others say, we must rely on it because it does lead us to where we are supposed to be going. I love the story you have shared here. You reached out to another human being and helped. If we can do this but once in our life time, we have done the work we are all here to do.
It comes down to love. Listening to your intuition sometimes can be confusing, but as we tap into it more and more, we do get clarity and that is what you have done.
Thank you for making the world a better place.

Hi Donna ,
I see you have experience with this inner voice as well. I think we need to learn to pay more attention to it .
I do not really know why this story happen ,but I know it was for a reason .Because I was about to let go ,but
could not.I hope that it made a difference and think maybe it was like planting a seed ? If he can continue changing
his thoughts ,maybe he will be able to really help others there,this is my hope .
Thank you ,have a nice weekend
Erika
What an incredible story, thanks for sharing. We have to really trust our first instincts. And we have to learn to know the difference between intuition and what we think we want too.

Hi Miriam,
yes we need to pay more attention on our intuition.
I often did and it was good .
You are right sometimes there are other voices coming up ,which tell us different .
We need to learn to know the right one.
Thank you for the comment
And I wanted to tell you ,I found your comment together with Chery Schmidt’s in my spam,
we do not know why ,but I found 7 comments most from Chery in my spam and yours too.

Hey Erika, great post and in business I believe following your intituition is often a lot better than following facts and numbers. Thanks for the reminder.

Hi Andrea
Facts and numbers we need ,but the intuition tells us what to do best with it .
It seems you are very good in following it .
Keep doing the good work .
Thank you

Hi Erika,
Your intuition is the greatest gift …

It is ,Lesly
lets use it 🙂
We have had to become so guarded that when something like this comes along our first instinct is yes it is a scam. The world needs to know that sometimes it is just a person looking for help. Such a great story on following your intuition. Thanks for sharing.
Lawrence Bousquet recently posted…Know Your who and why
Hi Lawrence,
you are right ,but really sometimes it is not easy to be sure,there is a lot of scam going on.
I talked to some African friends. I was in doubt first as well,but it was because of this
inner voice ,which I usually follow.
Now we have this story,maybe we think and look twice next time and look what the inner voice say’s 🙂
Thank you, Lawrence
Erika
You have a beautiful soul Erika… and that story is wonderful to read, even more so because you had that voice inside you that would not be quietened by other people. You followed your intuition, and made one boy and his family very happy.
I have become much more aware of following my intuition, trusting my instincts and asking those questions in the last year, and I am grateful you shared that story… you were right, against the odds 🙂

Hi Jacs ,
we all have a beautiful soul, only do not realize it .
We are so busy with other things. I did not want to do anything first
but it did not let me go, and I was in doubt first as well.
So I did not talk to anybody anymore and what was needed came
in ways that I started to believe it is for a reason.
I spent a lot of time talking to Habibou and he said : I always take your advice.
I hope he can do what he wants and can help others to
think better and when he is able to earn more than they need
support others.They still are not really save.
Thank you Jacs
