Miranya & Doubt
Doubt
Ever notice how in big decisions you get stuck between wanting more evidence and needing to act? How do you find that balance?
Miranya
When the weight of a decision presses down, I pause and listen to the quiet inside me. I gather what evidence I can, but I also trust the sense that already knows what must happen. I set a small deadline – a moment to act – and then I act. If it turns out wrong, I learn and adjust. The balance is in trusting both mind and heart, but letting the heart move first while the mind follows.
Doubt
Sounds reasonable, but is the heart always the reliable guide? What if intuition is just bias dressed up? Maybe the key is checking the heart’s signal against real outcomes more often. Have you seen any patterns where following the gut didn’t work out?

Sometimes the gut is right, sometimes it is led by old habits or fear. I’ve seen leaders rush into a deal because the feeling was “right” and end up missing red flags that the data had warned about. The trick is to keep a running log – note the gut’s call, then follow up with concrete evidence after the fact. Over time you learn which signals line up with success and which are just noise. So yes, check it against real outcomes; that way the heart becomes a wiser partner, not a blind driver.
Doubt
That logging idea sounds like a good safety net, but are you sure you’ll actually review the data when the stakes feel high? Sometimes the urge to act overrides that reflective step. How do you guard against that?
