I don't have much to say, only that I've come up with a catchphrase/mantra for life: If I have to think twice, I'm already thinking too hard.
Basically, the memoiristic journey I've embarked on has led me to really examine the choices I've made and what my motivations have been, which has been both humbling and enlightening. But, the best part is, in becoming more aware of who I am (and was), I've been able to see if there is a disparity between me and who I wish to be.
This is all sounding a little philosophical, so why don't I bring myself down off the high horse. Okay. So. I've been blessed with a killer intuition. When something is wrong, I feel it instantly. Recently, the intuition kicked in and I thought, as I always do, that the feeling would pass and I would get over whatever it was that instinctively was bothering me. Then I got wise and realized maybe I should start trusting myself a little more, considering that nothing good ever came of ignoring my intuition.
I've realized that I don't want to convince myself or talk myself into anything ever again. There is a reason, say, when I meet someone or hang out with them and feel a little weird about it. I'm all for giving people a chance, but when my gut kicks in, I am going to trust it. I'm not going to think twice.

YES! So important and a great mantra. I totally agree with you and find myself doing the same thing all the time -- It's hard to ignore your desires and not try to talk yourself in/out of your instincts (no matter how large or small). Also, I've heard the more you recognize your instincts and start to utilize them, the stronger they become (that could be total b.s., but I'd like to think you can cultivate instincts through pattern recognition...). ROCK ON & don't think twice ;-)
