Often the most important decisions we make in our lives can be the toughest to make. There is no end of outside influence that can affect our decisions: friends, family, colleagues, professional experts, the media, the Internet... and the list goes on. A good decision though, is the one that is right for us, personally. To help us make our own right decisions, we each have three different internal decision making tools we can consult: our head, our heart, and our gut. The best decisions are made when all three are in line, wanting the same thing.

Most of us are fully aware of our head when it comes to making decisions, this is our brain rationally weighing up the pros and cons. Some of us even listen to our hearts, this is what we feel is the best decision, or the decision that we want for ourselves. But how many of us use our gut to make decisions? This is our intuition, that sense of 'knowing' what is right or best.

Using all three, guarantees us the best decisions. Ideally, all three will point to the same answer. If not, pay careful attention to your gut – usually this is the one that gets it right! If this seems a bit 'out there' for you, see the quote below from famous scientist, Albert Einstein.

'The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.' Albert Einstein
