Intuition is, by definition, a knowledge that doesn’t appear to have been picked up by any of the five senses or derived from any previously known knowledge. Some people will refer to intuition as a gut feeling or hunch. People who are more science-oriented might call it a flash of insight from the subconscious mind. Spiritual types may describe it as spiritual guidance or a sign from God.

Personally, I try not to jump to any conclusions about intuition — I don’t know what it is or where it comes from, nor do I claim to know. I accept it as a real phenomenon because of my personal experiences with it, and I listen to it because it usually proves to be smarter than I am. For one example of my experiences with intuition, read about the grocery trip.

I can’t prove that intuition is useful, meaningful, nor that it even exists. All I can prove is that, more often than not, listening to my intuition has coincided with a positive outcome. And in the end, that’s all that matters.
