Trust Your Gut

When it comes to the opposite sex, trusting your gut about a situation you might find yourself in with them, can mean the difference between a long drawn out world of heartbreak or finding complete knock your socks off happiness. It's an easy theory to understand.

My good friend, whom I talk with quite often about my own love life (or lack thereof), always says, "What does your gut tell you? Trust it." Though this is probably something you've heard a thousand times before, sometimes you just need to hear it again.

I wonder if the gut instincts we have about a person or situation are really just a physical way of fate or destiny helping guide us. I seesaw on the destiny concept. Depending of course on my mood. Is there such a thing as "meant to be"? Or do we "make our own"?

I'm starting to believe in a hybrid of the two. We create our own fate. We are responsible for the life we have and the one we choose to have. But, there are things that help to get us to that place we're ultimately suppose to be or to that person we're ultimately suppose to be with. People that love the movie Serendipity are probably on the same page with me.

What do you think? Is trusting your gut the same as having faith in fate? Is your destiny already determined or do you make your own? Speak up, I'd love to hear your opinion!
