Reading Journal XVIII

"An urge to follow him hit me with such strength that I gasped. Almost as if I had no will of my own, I stepped off the sidewalk and hurried after the mysterious person, who had just reached the edge of the tree line that grew along the outside wall. "
What is intuition? Where does intuition come from? Why is it so hard for us to follow our intuition?
Intuition is the feeling in your gut, constantly telling you the opposite of what your mind is telling you. I have come across many obstacles which have trained me to follow my intuition. I have asked a couple of people the question: If your mind is telling you something, but your mind is telling you another, which will you most likely follow? Unsurprisingly, they all answered: my intuition, but it may vary due to the circumstance.
I used to be very different just about a year ago, but my life turned upside down and was forced to follow my intuition. Afterwards I have the nerve to sat that I have definitely grown-up more. And I am not talking about being serious all the time and having an answer to everything (which frankly nobody in the entire universe has a clue). I am talking about having to be grown -up when things do not go my way, having to be grown-up just when my life can't seem to get worse,it does!
So I leave you with this why would our "soul" give us a feeling, which would hurt us, either mentally or physically?
