Do you trust your instincts?

If someone were to ask me, “Do you trust your instincts?” my answer would be: absolutely, implicitlybut not blindly! Sounds confusing? Let me explain. My instincts are my gut reactions, shaped by years of experiences and fight-or-flight moments. No one understands me better than my own conscience. They serve as my first line of response in any situation, and over time, I’ve found them to be remarkably accurate. However, trusting my instincts doesn’t mean I act on them impulsively. I always pause to give them a second thought, weighing my options against what I know I’m capable of. Only then do I make a decision. Trust your instincts, yesbut always with a touch of reason.

What’s the first impression you want to give people?

To be honest, I couldn’t care less about others first impression or what people think of me. One of the perks of being over fifty is the treasure trove of life experiencesboth good and badthat you carry. Looking back on those moments, you realize how insignificant others’ opinions truly are. What truly matters is how you see yourself. At the end of the day, can you stand in front of the mirror and meet your own gaze with pride? Owning up to your actions and choices is far more meaningful than worrying about the judgments of people who neither know you nor understand your journey.

What book am I reading right now?

The book I am reading right now is “The Brain – The story of you by David Eagleman“. A fascinating book that takes you on a journey of the human brain. It navigates the zillions of brain cells, explains how they work in isolation or in conjunction with other cells. The writer, a renowned neurosurgeon guides you on this epic discovery while keeping the subject absorbing with examples you and I can easily relate to.
