Hi Chelsea,

Thanks for your comment! Well, there have been a few things I did where I felt that I had to do it, but only to find out that that’s something I don’t need to pursue. In the other words, pursuing leads to a solid conclusion to drop it. I feel like a flake in a way, as I start something and immediately I drop it, but I suppose that’s the one way to be certain.

Interesting article. It certainly takes courage to go with your gut feelings rather than all the voices of reason (especially these days that practicality is so over rated)but it often works for the best and what if it doesn't couple of times, Im sure we can handle a couple of set backs on the way to happiness:-) Chelsea Elm´s last blog post..Ice Breaker: Untie Knots

Hi Muk,

Welcome to OBV! I’m with you that whether intuition is actually connected to God or not is really subject to each person’s interpretation. I’m constantly asking myself “what if my intuition is wrong?” but I can tell you that I’ve been more wrong from not following it, than following it.

I agree that listening to this inner voice, though might turn out to be physically hard, it brings a mental peace by assuring us that we are on the right path. It requires a great deal of trust on this voice to completely surrender to it and I suggest that it is purely the individual’s choice on this issue and there is no universal rule.
However, whether this is a voice of God, is still doubtful. Although I am strong believer in the power of God, I still think that this effect is more the result of a multiple goal oriented mind where the mind for achieving different aims, proposes different paths.
What might be the effect of God, is the making of different goals which leads to these thoughts.

Hi Jessica,

I do believe that there are signs, but again, the tricky part is how we interpret those signs. We can make them to mean just about anything we want them to. If there is a “negative” sign, does it mean you should not pursue it? Or is it testing your resolve and you should still go for it?

I think you can ask for and use signs as catalysts for decisions, instead of using it as a predictor of outcomes. The important thing is to discover what’s in your heart and be true to it, not try to foresee what’s going to happen.

Amanda,

Ah, you’re my kind! I never realized how much I was holding myself back because I simply couldn’t explain/rationalize/justify my decisions. I love it when I can tell my wife I did something “because my intuition told me to” and she doesn’t need any more. I finally feel free to be the person I have been all along.

Hi Grace!

Thanks! I’m sure I’ll make a few mistakes, but somehow I don’t think I’ll screw up enough to get into huge troubles — like I did before. Let’s see if I have learned my lessons.
