I'm proud of myself for doing this:
4. When your intuition begs you to listen, listen. (Taken from '12 Rules for Being Beautifully Human' by Marc Chernoff)
There will be a distinct few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something – something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and seems completely crazy to others. When this happens, sit quietly and listen to your intuition. Let your instincts take over and ignore everything else. Ignore what you’re “supposed” to do, ignore the odds, ignore what everyone else wants you to do, and just go for it.
In life, if you don’t risk anything, you risk everything. And you can’t always wait for the perfect time. Sometimes you must dare to jump. Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage – just literally twenty seconds of uncomfortable bravery – and I promise you, something great will come of it.
