How do you distinguish between genuineness and sincerity on the one hand, and bullshitting and fuckwittery on the other?
How can you be sure that the lovely things that are said to you come from the heart, and are true and real – and not being fed to other people at the same time?
Do you carry on looking for something if you’ve already found it; and when the results of that search repeatedly reinforce your gut feeling?
Which is worse: to take a leap of faith because your heart, head, mind and gut tell you to – and these end up being wrong and you get hurt? Or to put up the barriers, run away and risk losing the most significant, rewarding and irreplaceable opportunity of your life?
How can you be sure that while you sit pondering, someone else is not benefiting from the very thing you desperately want and are holding out for? How can you be sure that the opportunity that could be on its way to you will not be diverted to someone else because it was never meant for you in the first place?
What happens if you wait for something that is being sent to you and it gets lost in transit and never finds you, either because it no longer wants to, or because someone else has stolen it?
I consider myself to be a very good judge of character, and my gut feelings never fail me… but I’m absolutely petrified.
