You know how everyone says that your gut instinct is usually right? Well... I know this is random, but is your gut instinct the best thing to follow even if the decision that you have to make is purely based on chance? For instance - If someone had to make the choice to move to a brand new place and their gut instinct told them not to, even though there is a 50% chance that it will go really well, should they take it? Could they just be confusing that instinct with anxiousness/nervousness? Sorry if that is confusing - trust me, I have a good reason for asking it : )

There is a reason we say, "go with your gut." Still, sometimes we get scared, and our gut tells us not to do something, even though it would be okay (and probably a good thing) to take a chance.
The best thing to do is to think clearly, without letting your emotions get the better half of you. In any given situation, weigh your options. And most of the time, yes, go with your gut. But just focus and do what you know is right-sometimes your gut instinct points you in the right direction.
As for moving to a new place, it's almost always a good idea, since it will open you up to new experiences and people. But all in all, I say, go with your gut most of the time...but always think clearly and do what's wise. [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]
