This is how it works; according to my experience
When going with your intuition, you are going with nothing more than a thought or a feeling. People call these hunches and a lot of times they will be right. If they are really good at it, they can have it guide them throughout their life; no matter what the situation. I have a theory about intuition and that is that it can protect you and guide you throughout your life. And so far, so good.
