"Often, when I want to consult my impulses, I cannot find them"

This quote by Mason Cooley speaks to the problem of trusting one's very own impulses and instinct. It recommends that, in times of uncertainty, we may struggle to access our innermost sensations as well as wishes. This can be specifically true when we are faced with tough decisions or when we are really feeling overwhelmed. It can be difficult to recognize what to do when we are feeling puzzled or unclear, and also it can be challenging to trust our very own judgement. Cooley's quote advises us that, even when we are struggling to find our impulses, we ought to still take the time to listen to our inner guide as well as trust our very own judgement. Inevitably, it is necessary to bear in mind that we have the power to make our very own choices and that our own instincts and instinct can be an important source of advice.
