EP46: My Dad Knew He Had Days Left. This Is What He Told Me.
A few days before my father passed, he knew his time was almost up.
He had spent nearly his entire life teaching people how to think, set goals, make decisions, and change the direction of their lives.
And in those final days, he taught me one more thing.
It was not about money.
It was not about setting a bigger goal.
It was about something much quieter:
Intuition.
In this deeply personal episode of Born to Win, I share the final lesson my father, Bob Proctor, impressed upon me before he passed away—and why I have thought about it almost every day since.
My father taught me many things throughout my life.
He taught me to decide what I want before I know how I will get it.
He taught me that decision-making is a skill.
He taught me to look for the good, practice gratitude, and forgive for my own peace of mind.
But near the end of his life, he brought me back to something even more fundamental:
Listen to that quiet inner voice.
Trust what you know inside.
In this episode, we explore:
– Why intuition is so easy to ignore
– The difference between intuition, fear, and outside noise
– Why your inner guidance often arrives before logic can explain it
– How silence helps you hear what is already there
– Why intuition often shows up physically before it becomes a thought
– Three practical ways to begin strengthening your intuition
– How to test your intuition on small decisions before the stakes are high
– Why logic and intuition do not have to compete
– The reason this lesson means even more to me now that Dad is gone
One of the things I have come to understand is that intuition is rarely loud.
Fear is loud.
Other people’s opinions are loud.
Your phone is loud.
Your responsibilities are loud.
Intuition tends to whisper.
And if your life is filled with noise from the moment you wake up until the moment you go to sleep, it becomes very difficult to hear it.
So in this episode, I also share three simple practices I use to strengthen that connection.
I think often about why my father chose this lesson at the end.
He knew there would eventually be no more phone calls.
No more:
“Dad, what should I do?”
So instead of leaving me with another answer...
He gave me a way to find my own.
He pointed me back to myself.
And today, I want to pass that lesson on to you.
