Intuition: It might not always be right but, why chance it?
The most powerful self defense tool you have was given to you at birth and it has been growing stronger ever since: intuition. It’s that tool of instant feedback that says, “Good guy”, “Bad guy”, “I’ll walk this way”, “On the other hand, let’s go this way”. Ever since you were brought into this world, your mind has been gathering identifiers for good situations and bad situations. Be aware of that knowledgeable voice and listen to it. It may not always be right, but why chance it? Nine times out of ten, it will keep you out of trouble.
