Trust Your Gut

This is an interesting article on how simplifying an issue can help you make better decisions:

I think when you listen to the voice of your spirit (or your intuition) it helps to identify key issues in a decision.

We sometimes over-complicate issues which leads to "paralysis of analysis".

This doesn't mean to not evaluate the facts and your options. However, I believe the article suggesting take a 'gut check' along with using conscious decision making.

I read this account of Michael Jordan taking a cruise on Warren Buffet's yacht. Warren Buffett at the time was the richest man on the planet and considered the greatest investor who ever lived. Basically you had on board the greatest basketball player who ever lived with the greatest investor. Michael Jordan asked Warren Buffet what was the key to his success as an investor and businessman. Warren said to "trust your gut". Michael said he thought that was a good idea.

I thought was pretty intriguing.

Both have obviously been extraordinarily diligent at their crafts and have majored on and developed their unique God-given gifts and strengths. However, that extra dimension of listening to their intuition has also helped to catupult them to the "top of the top" of their respected fields.

Enjoy the article and along with doing your "due diligence"...trust your gut. :)

You are the best..
