Go With Your Gut.....

Go with your gut.  Go with your feelings.  You have heard of these proverbs and they are good advice about making decisions.  But I want to take it a step further.  Recently these posts have been about selfhood and knowing yourself and making decisions is a good place to put your self knowledge to use.   If you go with your feelings about something but those feelings are based on information you learned as a child from sources outside yourself they may not reflect the true you.   The decision you just made based on those feelings may not be a reflection of who you really are.  So when you need to make a decision about something, go with your gut, pay attention to your feelings, but know where your gut feelings come from and if they truly reflect who you are.
