Gut feelings

We all have that little voice in our heads..you know the one we usually ignore?  Or that feeling in the pit of your stomach..that something is not right? Or maybe even a tingling sensation over your entire body? Why do we so often not listen to that little voice/feeling? How do we test and know that it is correct.. we all know that sometimes it's wrong, but what if it's not? Would we all be better off if we learned to listen and trust our gut? If we did it more often, maybe we could fine tune it and know when to really listen and when not to. I know that there have been several times that I think i should have listened to my gut and I wouldn't be in this situation. Sigh... it is so hard to trust yourself, when there are so many other voices to tell you that you are wrong..or maybe wrong- just enough doubt yourself. Why is it so easy to cast doubt in yourself? Why are we not built to be head strong and confident? All of us should be built to have confidence, and graciousness. We can be confident in ourselves, our feelings, our thoughts, yet gracious enough to listen to other ideas and thoughts...ahh a perfect world right?
