Recognizing what is, and isn’t, intuition can sometimes be tricky. How do you know if it’s really intuition and not just your imagination or wishful thinking?
Since intuition can be very subtle, it’s not always easy to tell the difference. What often happens is that we dismiss our intuition as nothing more than the chattering of the mind or passing whimsy.
