How many times have you been called upon to make a snap judgment and, without knowing why, you sense a bad feeling? And how many of those times did your feelings of discomfort turn out to be correct? That innate sense is our intuition. Intuition speaks to us in many ways on an unconscious level, appearing to have no logical explanation as to why we feel wary or comforted. This is valuable information, yet is often ignored, as it’s not based on logic, reason and analysis. But yielding to our intuition can save us from hassle and heartache and, even, result in happiness. A feeling of discomfort should serve as a red flag in situations like taking on a new client, a new project, a new partner or a new job. Listen to your intuition. First, analyze the circumstances logically to uncover possible reasons why you are feeling this way. If intuition and logic are still not in alignment, then proceed with caution. And, if you find that they are aligned, you can be confident that you are on the right path…and glad that you listened to your gut!
