When speaking about the validity of my instincts I must say my instincts have guided me in the right direction more than not. I think it depends on what you are dealing with and a lot of times just plain old common sense when dealing with certain situations. I don’t approach strangers and I try not to let them get to close to me. I don’t drink outside of my home unless I am where I know and trust the host. I get a feeling, a little buzz (perhaps from God) when I am in certain areas or establishments that direct me to stop or keep moving; to speak or remain silent. When it comes to relationships my instinct has always been right and when I ignored it I paid the price.
