[post_page_title]Trusting your gut[/post_page_title]
At the end of the day, life is all about intuition. Malcolm Gladwell, a famous author of the modern age, wrote a book called Blink about this exact idea. The premise of the book predicated around the idea that sometimes, a split second decision can be much more valuable than the kind you might make after hours, days, or even months of deliberation. He talks about the idea that a “thin slice” of a situation is sometimes all you need to know everything about it.
Gladwell understands that this isn’t always the case. He knows that there is certainly a lot of value in research, analytics, and making sure that all options have been accounted for before proceeding to make a choice. But he also understands that sometimes in life, time is a luxury that we simply don’t have. Sometimes we must pounce on the moment that faces us. Sometimes we have no choice but to act without thinking, and trust our heart to guide us the right way.
Such was the case with Jeff Colvin in our story. The fact of the matter is, he had no time to think about anything when he walked by Klynn’s house that fateful day 20 years ago. It was just a feeling of intuition. It was a “blink” moment, where he just knew that he had to investigate the situation. As we all know now, trusting his gut not only paid off for him, but it paid off for Klynn, who went to have two children and become a police officer just like her hero.
