Folks,
Been thinking this one over and wanted to get some opinions.
Throughout my life, I've noticed that my "gut feelings" have been a good indicator of what to do/not do. Whenever my "gut" told me not do do something, but which I ignored, something bad has happened. This has been true with people, purchases, investments, life choices, etc. Oftentimes, I will make myself ignore the warning signs because I want to believe I am doing the right thing -and usually this is when I fall the hardest.
Luckily I am listening more to my "guts" and will decline great-sounding offers, choose to take another route, leave an establishment if things just do not feel right. I have had occurrences of something telling me "don't go down that street..." which I listen to, and of course I'll never know if I did miss anything bad, but that's OK.
There may be other words for this like "instincts", but I believe that it falls into the same category of listening to your inner self. This may also become better developed over time, or just may be me be willing to pay more attention as I get older...any thoughts?
