We use intuition all the time, and we should. But if we think about it a little more carefully, on decisions worthy of thought, we often come up with something different. The only purposeful way you can influence anything in your life is through the decisions that you make. If i decide to eat much more responsibly, that's toimprove my life. Or if i exercise routinely, geting a little better shape, that will certainly improve my life. None of that will happen unless you make the decision to think about it, choose to do what is done, and then follow through on doing what you need to do to complete it.
