There is a way of living by intuition and a way of living by rational choice (the latter usually called just “reason”). The two are not mutually exclusive, of course. But I have found that life is freer, more natural, happier, when I am brave enough to let intuition rule. And it does take some bravery.

It takes a certain willingness to follow intuition. Maybe there will always be a question in my mind about whether I am being rational. But time and again events prove the correctness of following yet another hunch.
