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.

A lesson I wish I had learned early in life

A lesson I wish I had learned early in life was the importance of trusting my instincts. Listening to my inner voice. A little late in life, I realized that by believing in my own judgment, I was guided in the right direction, even when the path ahead seemed uncertain. The reasoning behind this is straightforward: My instincts are honed by my experiences over the years. I know my strengths and limitations, what I am capable of, and where my boundaries lie. Relying on others to make decisions for me doesn’t make sense, as their choices are shaped by their own perspectives and interests. Each person’s conclusion is influenced by what benefits them, not necessarily what’s best for me. This understanding has shaped my approach to decision-making, and it’s a principle I have adhered to ever since.
