Instincts or Intuition

Do you trust your instincts?

Who can’t or won’t trust their instincts? It’s a conscious, automatic reaction after certain stimuli; a warning, a threat, or a danger, and we have to respond. Otherwise, we will be in a big, big trouble. Imagine you find a lion in your garden. Would you open your arms wide for a hug or run for your life?

But the story is different with intuition. Totally different. This is because intuition is subconscious. You think, feel, and react without reason, without stimuli, without even understanding why.  Imagine you see someone for the first time in a group of people you are introduced to for the first time. It was at this first encounter when  you decide that they would never be your friend. Later, perhaps within a few months, you find out that you made the right decision because there was nothing mutual you could have shared with that person.

Can we trust our intuitions? I believe that would be different from one person to another, because we are different. Intuition is stimulated by our different life experiences, our intelligence, and talents. or it might be a blessing from God. That’s why some people ignore this gift while others not only keep it in mind but also in their actual decisions.

And I do trust my own intuition.

With all the best wishes,

Nahla
