Is our intuition always correct?

You followed your intuition and you know in your heart that what you did was right. So how come sometimes it feels so awful?

I often get asked how do I know that my intuition is always going to be correct?

We need to start by defining what we mean by “correct.” If we take the meaning of the word to be “correct” as in “right” (as opposed to “wrong”) then we are, in fact, asking if our intuition is always “right.”

 The answer to that question is that our intuition is always right for us. And that’s the emphasis. FOR US. Which means that our intuition will always guide us to do what is right for us, but that doesn’t necessarily mean to say that it’s always going to feel good.

Again it is in the emphasis. It will be good FOR US. That doesn’t necessarily mean we’re going to like it, or that it isn’t at times going to really suck!

But remember, the story is never over. We don’t know yet where this part of our journey is going to lead us. And we continue along our path. We then often find, with hindsight, that it is exactly the part of the journey that we really didn’t like… the rotten part that we ended up in because we’d followed our intuition… it was that exact decision that brought us eventually to exactly the perfect place, or situation, or person that is right for us now.

Which is why the word trust goes hand in hand with intuition.

It’s trusting that we have an innate sense of knowing...

that we are receiving guidance from whoever or whatever we believe created us...

that we will follow that guidance come what may...

that we inherently trust that wherever we are, at any particular time, is exactly where we’re meant to be...

and that ultimately it will lead is to what is right... for us.
