As a preface to my Doing What Feels Right, I should explain the following. I’ve identified two strong character traits have prevented me from living this way.
1. As a child, I was far more interested in accuracy and objective reality than emotion and subjective reality. I believe emotion was a flawed compass and a hindrance to the greater good of correctness.
–For me, to Do What Feels Right is an unfamiliarly subjective manner of navigating this world. I’m more comfortable building tensions into my life to herd myself in whatever manner I’ve evaluated as best for me.
2. I still believe you’re more likely to achieve a goal if you have a plan and enact that plan. The alternative is to walk around blindly and expect to end up in the right place.
–To Do What Feels Right feels nearly blind as I’ve not yet learned or believe it’s wise to fully trust emotion or intuition. I’m more comfortable following the latter than the former.
