What’s a time you ignored your gut — and paid for it?

The times I paid the highest price weren’t when I ignored danger. They were when I ignored myself. My gut would wave a little red flag, and I’d paint it green with rationalizations. I wanted proof. I wanted certainty. I wanted everyone else to agree before I trusted what I already knew. By the time the evidence arrived, so had the consequences. These days, I’m learning that intuition doesn’t always come with receipts.
