Trust your intuition and instincts from "summary" of Choose yourself by James Altucher

Our intuition and instincts are powerful tools that we often overlook or ignore in favor of rational analysis. We tend to discount our gut feelings and instead rely on logic and data to make decisions. But there's a reason why we have these instincts - they are there to guide us and protect us. When we learn to trust our intuition and instincts, we are tapping into a deeper level of knowledge and understanding that goes beyond what we can see or measure. Our intuition is like a compass that points us in the right direction, even when we can't explain why or how we know something. It's a form of wisdom that comes from within us, and it's always worth paying attention to. Our instincts, on the other hand, are our body's way of signaling to us what feels right or wrong. They are our primal instincts that have been honed over thousands of years of evolution. When we listen to our instincts, we are tuning into a survival mechanism that has helped us navigate the world and avoid danger. In today's fast-paced and chaotic world, our intuition and instincts can be drowned out by the noise of information and opinions. But when we learn to quiet our minds and listen to that inner voice, we can make better decisions and live more authentically. Trusting our intuition and instincts allows us to choose ourselves - to prioritize our own well-being and happiness above all else. So the next time you're faced with a difficult decision or feeling unsure about something, take a moment to listen to your intuition and instincts. They may just be leading you in the right direction. Trust yourself, and the rest will follow.
