My gut has never let me down. It has woken me out of a sleep at times, but when I act on it, I never regret. Don't regret what you do! I’m with you, Isaac! My gut has never let me down. It has woken me out of a sleep at times, but when I act on it, I never regret. Don’t regret what you do!

For monumentous life altering decisions (marriage, child, career, etc), 99 times out of 100, I've gone with my gut feeling. I haven't regretted any of them so far.

When I am not sure which risk to take I follow the these steps: 1. Use my faith to awaken my wisdom 2. Seek advice of only those people whom I trust 3. Ask myself which path will cause me regrets even I did not take an option that takes me out of my comfort zone. 4. Trust myself that the wisdom that emerges from within me will guide me. Of all the things the biggest motivator for me is leading a regret-free life. Hope this helps. Regards, Vasavi Responding to Chris…

When I am not sure which risk to take I follow the these steps:

1. Use my faith to awaken my wisdom
2. Seek advice of only those people whom I trust
3. Ask myself which path will cause me regrets even I did not take an option that takes me out of my comfort zone.
4. Trust myself that the wisdom that emerges from within me will guide me.

Of all the things the biggest motivator for me is leading a regret-free life.

Hope this helps.

However, a person can't do that unless they have the confident in their intuitive capabilities. Personal growth happens most profoundly when we put ourselves in a place of discomfort...when we stretch ourselves beyond what we believe with are capable of. I love talking to true risk takers...entrepreneurial types or athletic types who risk beyond meaning and safety. They blow my mind. <blockquote><em><strong>Dana</strong>: ...and make you feel like you can do something amazing, too!
