I try to leave my life more on instinct than rationality. If I try to think things out, I get caught up in my own biases and convuluted logic, and come to many incorrect conclusions. Things tend to work out much better for me when I just do what feels right or comes naturally.
If this is the case, why do I sometimes lack the courage to pull the trigger?
I believe what I call 'instincts' is merely me analyzing a situation and drawing an instant conclusion based on my knowledge but skipping any cognitive analysis. It is a little more complicated than that, but I don't really feel like delving into the full scope of my belief about what instincts are and where they come from. Needless to say, I believe they are more than just mindless drives, though motivations and drives are an integral part of them.
So if I feel like something is right, why let fear stop me?
Sometimes knowing what to do and doing it are miles apart. Maybe I don't really want what I think I want?
