Going with what you feel
+++++++++++++++++++

Sometimes what you’re about to do just feels right, in a way
you are sure of but cannot explain. Pay attention to that
feeling, for in it is wisdom accumulated through all your
experience.

Other times, what you’re doing feels wrong, not for any
particular reason but just because. That is an almost
certain indication it is not right for you.

Reason and logic provide valuable guidance and reliably lead
to magnificent achievements. Sometimes, though, it is best
to step back from the purely reasonable and go with what you
feel.

The best person to know when that is appropriate is you. At
some level, you know how authentic, how honest, and how well
advised your feelings are.

Though you may not even realize it, you are highly skilled
at recognizing patterns. And many times you can feel those
patterns much more clearly than you can articulate them.

Go forward based on objective reality, on reason and logic,
on the facts available to you, but don’t go against your
feelings. Go with what feels right, and make use of the
wisdom within you that grows more profound with every
experience.
