We human beings have (at least) three intellects. The brain, the heart and the gut feeling. They are all individuals - they may argue. They may fight. They might make you feel like a war zone.
Men and sometimes even women may have a forth intellect. You may figure out where that one is placed for yourself *smiling*. I think we all sometimes have experienced the side effects of that intellect.
The sum of heart and brain you may think is the gut feeling. It isn’t. The gut can tell something completely different than the two others. Sometimes I find that really strange…..
With age I have started to trust my gut feeling more and more. I find it as the most trustworthy while the other two still are fighting. It gives me some kind of backbone while the other two change their minds all the time. Gut feeling is more persistent and have more stamina than the other two.
While writing this I recalled a personality quiz I once took. I looked the results up and saw I am driven 28% by intellect, 39% by heart and 33% by instinct. Almost even parts (just as I thought). No doubt I have problems while they do not agree. I once has a discussion with a former boss. We agreed in that regarding the current issue I would probably gain by having a partial lobotomy - just to stop that quarrel in my brain *LOL*.Nevertheless when brain, heart, gut and possibly that fourth obscure intellect agrees we all feel very content and strong in our decisions. We are whole persons.
