In my last blog entry I gave an example of a situation where I ignored my instincts (or talked myself out of them), and made a mess as a result. I can't count the number of times I've done that, and every time the story is the same.
If your gut is yelling at you saying:
"STOP! DON'T DO IT! THIS IS A BAD IDEA! SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT!",
you ignore it at your peril.
I think our instincts are a form of higher wisdom, helping guide us along the way. I don't think our gut feeling discerns right or wrong in an absolute sense, but I do think it discerns right or wrong FOR US, AS INDIVIDUALS. And that makes all the difference.
So, next time you find yourself trying to make a difficult decision, or conflicted about something, give yourself some time to reflect on it. Look for the voice of wisdom inside you, or notice the feeling you get when you consider the various courses of action your could take. Then, FOLLOW ITS ADVICE!
My guess is you'll be glad you did.
P.S. No major update on the situation yet. My assistant is going back and forth with my colleague trying to figure out times that will work for the two of us to connect this week. So, there's at least contact of some kind. Stay tuned.
