Moving on an instinct takes guts as I have found to my dismay and more so when the need to act is pressing. It requires courage to embrace this conviction and make the most of it. A case of instinct taking over with all that entails.

What drives one to achieve his goal? To step forward and make a decision which will produce a reaction. Here’s where one’s inner feelings and manifest attitudes prick the conscience. Calling a spade a spade is not enough because the issue at hand may be big enough to call for a salvo of shots. Therefore, let instinct come into focus and dictate the terms. It is also a measure of one’s worth to heed instinct and let it have free play. Notwithstanding, the unease and turmoil which it engenders. Clearly, this means taking oneself in hand and not be at a loss for words or what to do. Because in the long run what matters is how to express oneself. Trying to force oneself may not work out and only lead to guilt and neurosis. Coming to terms with the ‘gut instinct’ requires an alignment of emotions. While letting go could be unnerving and taxing as it can lead to enhanced prestige and self-esteem. Not to do so would

be to violate the very principle of existence. Just as if this is necessary to make it a going concern.

As far as instinct is concerned one needs to perform and not be swayed by impulses. Attention is drawn to small and big things and giving vent to one’s emotions makes for a change. Only when this happens do the spur-of-the-moment assert itself without resorting to trickery. Before too long one is driven by the unspoken word and the silent mime so that it becomes necessary to emphasise its finer points.

To mark out one’s feelings and not let it fester unheeded. Given that this is so will there be an offshoot and not before. There is nothing so ennobling as the norms and values, which one holds dear in life.

Any analysis should lead itself to the instinct as being different from free will. Otherwise, this is to give way to the illusion at the edge of the consciousness. And only the inspired drive holds everything up to the light of the day. Of concern should be to let instinct have a free hand and appreciate it for what it actually is.
