Trusting Instincts in an Uncertain World
We often encounter situations where we have very limited information, yet we must proceed or make a decision based on it. However, not every action we take or decision we make turns out to be correct. Things often do not unfold as we anticipate we may misjudge or incorrectly predict outcomes, causing events to deviate from our expectations something that likely happens to all of us. Sometimes, we base our decisions on an intuitive feeling whether positive or negative about a particular matter. We may be right or wrong in these instances it depends on the situation, our mindset, and our decision making ability. In my view, a multitude of factors come into play.
It is often said that one should not make decisions when feeling either overjoyed or sad, as these are times when we are unable to make the best choices instead, it is best to decide when you are in a neutral state of mind. This makes a significant difference you have likely noticed that the decisions you make when angry differ greatly from those made when you are calm.
Getting to know someone -
Whenever I or any of us meet a particular person, we tend to form a certain mindset about them. We start by judging them based on their appearance and other external factors, creating an image of them in our minds. However, as we get closer to them or begin to interact, we discover what they are truly like, and that realization makes a significant difference. Speaking for myself, I have a knack for reading people I can usually tell who is good and who is bad, and I get a fair sense of a person's intentions. Whenever I have doubts about someone, I warn others to be cautious so that they, too, can stay safe.
I have now spent quite a few years on this earth (Mrityu lok) due to which I have some experience about people and how they are and what different types of people do and many other things. Look, all these things develop slowly within us and based on that we start taking decisions on our own. Sometimes we have some such things which we are not able to forget and when we have to forget them then it becomes difficult because the experience we have is not that good as the past cover and on the basis of that we form many opinions also. But see, whatever is applicable to one person is not necessarily applicable to others as well. See, I do not take any decision immediately. I make a little observation about any person, I observe that person for a few days and only after that I take my decision. It is not that I will tell him directly or will I tell someone else about him, I just keep controlling myself but sometimes when I feel that a particular person can be in danger then I just make him aware. I think my people recognition instructions are a little better.
We take all the decisions in our life like this and sometimes we are successful and sometimes we lose but with every defeat or victory we definitely get some learning.
In terms of investment it is bad -
My instant is very bad in terms of investment, but in terms of long term, my process is a little good, but in terms of short term, I have lost a few times and I have also suffered a lot of loss. You don't even need to go much further. A few days ago I paid a little bit of USDT for my pass finance. I had been doing this for a long time and I was getting maybe 4 or 6 percent return, which has dropped to maybe 1%. See the post on Hive in which I saw that you are getting around 20% (now it is less) return for staking Hive in Binance. So I thought this is a good opportunity and I can increase my earnings a bit. But the outcome completely different from that of converting USD to Hive and it is now going down Xd.
So I feel that my investment is not going well, yes from a long term perspective my investment strategy is good but many times I realize later that maybe I should not have done this but I feel that regretting it will not help you.
If I talk about the decisions that we have to take in life, then sometimes I am accurate as well. Normally I do very little but in front of some people I lose a lot of it. Sometimes I feel that I am a little strange or not, I don't know. See, sometimes such a situation arises on which we have to take some decisions and because of our gut feeling and our instant, we are able to survive from that situation and I feel that there is a survival instant in everyone. Because sometimes we're cut off by things we don't even trust ourselves with. I'm sure this has happened to you at times. what do you think ?

STOPInstinct can be true or not. We just need to be careful at it, it will not break us.
Instinct is usually right. Excellent point. Thanks!
Gut feelings are often based on subtle cues our brains have already processed unconsciously. So when we “just know” something, it’s not magic. It's our mind connecting dots faster than conscious thought can. The challenge is learning when to trust that instinct and when to slow down for deliberate reasoning.
