what important decision in your professional life have you based largely upon your intuitive feelings?

Question

what about in your personal life?

Answer 1

Academically/professionally, I chose my major on that basis. I had actually chosen a major based on a somewhat technical process of elimination based on what kinds of things I like to study and do, but later changed my major. I was taking a class for a general education requirement, and fell in love with it. I changed my major before that class was over, and it was the best decision of my academic or professional life.

In personal life I find that when I have strong instincts about a person they are always right. If when I meet a new person I immediately like them and feel very comfortable around them, as I get to know them better I learn that they are actually good people. If when I meet someone I get a bad feeling about them, am uncomfortable being alone with them, or don't want to be near them, there is always a reason. I have had that feeling about a handful of people. I later learned that some of them were drug addicts, armed robbers, pedophiles, and other unsavory type people. Every time I have second guessed my intuitive feelings about people in particular it always turns out that those feelings were right. If you have a really strong feeling about something, I suggest you trust yourself.

Answer 2

According to certain "people of wisdom", the right brain is designed to provide you with "apppropriate" intuitions for planning and dealing with every aspect of life. And your left brain is to be *merely* a mechanism for logically deciding how to best carry out those intuitively revealed plans.

The intuitive is felt to be the best guide re a person's true "needs".

In our culture the left brain runs the show, and the right one is somewhat atrophied. Not ideal, eh?

Anyway, i have followed that "wise" plan as best i could for all purposes.

As a result, i now have far less money and stuff, and far better health and sense of well being and satisfaction :)))

Answer 3

I have the job I work at now because of following my intuition, and it's the best job I've ever had! There were a series of 'coincidences' that led me here, i.e., before I started I had unplanned meetings with two people who work or worked here, I happened to have enough money in savings to allow me to wait for the job... It took over 2 months for me to get hired after I applied for the position, but it never occured to me that I wouldn't get it--I followed my intuition and it paid off.
