Your Intuition Is The Compass To Success

The inaugural National Women’s Soccer League Championship(NWSL) game between the Washington Spirit and the Western New York Flash is set to begin later today at 5 p.m eastern, 4 p.m. central that will be aired live on Fox Sports 1.
The championship will be held at BBVA Compass Stadium, home of the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Houston Dash, who failed to qualify for the playoffs.
The irony is that the Dynamo also failed to keep their playoff hopes alive last night when they lost to the Colorado Rapids by the score of 3-2 in front of a capacity crowd of over 18,000 fans.
You could have hope that the Dynamo could have won the matchup and set the tone for the NWLS championship.
But Colorado, who secured a spot in the West-Semifinals of their conference in the MLS, was too good
It is truly interesting that the NWSL choose the city of Houston to be the place to host their first ever championship.
In reality, it should not be a surprise because the Dynamo and the Dash are well run organizations that have made it easy for the staff of the NWSL to select the city of Houston for their inaugural championship.
This tweet by TexSports Publications captured Dash forward Kealia Ohai firing the cannon called “El Capitan” prior to the start of the matchup.
And of course, the Dynamo fans were excited to support their team.
Despite the loss, Dynamo fans were thrilled to see the post-game fireworks display.
Now if the staff of the Dynamo did not like their work, do you believe that the fan base would have been loyal? No.
Yet, there are so many people who hate their work, yet stay with the company because of the salary and the health benefits that their employer provides.
That is why “The Walking Dead” is so popular because people can relate to the theme of the show according to Nicole Welch.
They do not follow their intuition, which is 99.99% correct all the time because they are afraid that they will end up broke.
However, those who do follow their intuition will always end up succeeding in their business and careers.
Maybe that is the reason why the city of Houston has always been the first to achieve major milestones due to the leaders following their instinct.
And why the NWSL choose to host their first league championship matchup in Houston and at BBVA Compass Stadium.
