question our feelings, especially when they’re contrary to what
other people believe. We may think that we are being illogical,
overly emotional, or unreasonable, so we disregard how we feel.

I trust my instincts because they are the product of every-
thing that went into making me who I am. They reflect the
essential me—my values, feelings, fears, experiences, and goals.
Instincts are the distillation of the lessons we learned from our

experiences in life, especially when we got burned. Our instincts
are the logic we’ve developed from living, doing, watching,
listening. They guide us, protect us, and remind us who we
really are.
