It’s so good you listened to your gut and you are here :)
The thing is, that 90-something % of our decisions are taken on an emotional basis, but we post-rationalize after it and convince ourselves that we decided rationally anyway.
I think it is very liberating to listen to gut feelings, instincts, signs whatever. We can fail or succeed anyway — regardless of how we decided.
But openly deciding based on emotions and a hunch is: brave! As you always are in each article! I admire you for that so much!
