It's very important to follow your instincts because, beyond what you know exists or what you're told exists in a given area, your intuition plays a big part in finding something special.
As I said, I began losing confidence in my instincts, which is tough and very bad for an instinctive person.
Throughout my career I have been talked out of things I wanted to do, and when I look back, I think I should have followed my instincts.
You shouldn't wait for other people to make special things happen. You have to create your own memories.
Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself.
