The amazing power of "Gut Feeling"


Intuition is a form of knowledge that appears in consciousness without obvious deliberation. 
It is not magical but rather a faculty in which hunches are generated by the unconscious mind rapidly sifting through past experience and cumulative knowledge.

Our gut feelings are often correct, but we tend to attach a certainty to them that they do not always merit. 
They do tend to be more accurate in some domains of experience than others, such as in the formation of first impressions. 

Experts find that intuition, no matter how right it feels, is more reliable in some areas of activity than others. 
Many situations actually utilize a combination of intentional reflective deliberation and automatic intuition.

Intuition is a thinking style, and people differ in the degree to which they rely on intentional reflection on the one hand and automatic knowledge on the other.
Some people have more experience and expertise stored in their memory database against which current perceptions can be matched.

It is possible to hone your powers of intuition. 
Strengthening intuition requires making use of feedback, comparing the real-life outcomes of situations with the intuitive decisions you made.

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition." - Steve Jobs
