You know that term, "Go with your gut, as whatever your gut tells you is the right decision to make?" Well, I'm going through that phase as I am typing this.
Since I am a senior in high school all I care about is college, finishing out the school year strong, and more college. I have been so stressed about making sure I make the right decisions when thinking about my future, and I have been stuck between so many options, and have therefore been relying on what my gut has been telling me in order to make those decisions. I feel like a lot of people go through this phase, whether it's deciding what college to attend in the fall, whether you should date your best guy/girl friend or not, or whether you should take a specific job or not, etc. And, what I am going to say is, go with what your gut is telling you; go with that internal voice inside you that is telling you to go a specific direction.
I know saying Go with your gut because usually what your gut is telling you is the most rational decision you should be making is completely in a grey area; however, I just really believe in that statement. I know many people will disagree with me, as they think you should make decisions based on how you feel emotionally and what your brain is telling you, but I just think going with that gut instinct means that you are making the right decision. I definitely know what it is like to say to someone, "I just made this decision because my gut was telling me to," and getting a blank stare in response. Many people do not understand what the statement of "It was a gut feeling" means, and I think that is why it is such a wishy washy topic today.
Right now I am stuck trying to make possibly one of the biggest decisions of my life, and I have been struggling to make a decision for weeks, maybe even a month now. I keep going back and forth due to weighing both the positives and negatives of my two options, and in doing so, my heart has been jumping back and forth, and is now lying smack in the middle, torn between the two choices. Because I strongly believe in the statement of going with my gut I have been trying to do that, but it has been a huge struggle because now my gut instinct has moved from being 100% for one of my choices to around 50 to 60 percent. I think saying that everyone should always go with their gut instinct is not completely rational, as everyone is different and unique, and going with their gut maybe isn't always the best option for them. However, whether it is trusting their instincts, or following where their heart lies/belongs, everyone will end up in the place they truly belong.
I think that everyone makes mistakes, and in making those mistakes that is where you truly figure out who you are and your place in this world. For my going back and forth for making the biggest decision of my life, I think I am going to stick with my gut instinct while weighing the positives and negatives of both my options, and make a decision from there. Times like these are definitely stressful as you want to make the decision that will make you the happiest, and in following your heart, trusting your gut instinct, or listening to that internal voice telling you what path to take in your life, I believe you will ultimately end up where you belong. Because in the end, you are the only person who knows yourself best.
