30 Times People's Gut Feeling Ended Up Saving Their Lives
There just isn’t any clear explanation for gut feelings. They just come without warning and we really don’t know what causes them.
It’s not like we have some kind of Spidey sense or what but it seems like our bodies and minds have their own way of sensing danger or something wrong with whatever is going on around. That’s why we always hear that we should trust our instincts or gut feelings when we’re about to make a decision that will somehow affect our lives.
Sadly, a lot of us don’t trust ourselves. We doubt our instincts in fear of making a mistake or ending up a failure.
Our intuitions or gut feelings are there for a reason though and we should really learn to trust them and ourselves more. Who knows- maybe trusting your gut instinct could be that one decision that will change your life for the better.
It could lead you to the success you want or it could lead you to the life you’ve always wanted to have. More than that, it might also be what could save your life.
It has happened many times before. When someone asked on Reddit for people to share a situation where a gut feeling saved them from troubles, many people were happy to share their stories.
Some are quite frightening and others were a bit cheerier. Here are some of the best ones.

When you just have that gut feeling, the best thing to do is to obey it. We're not sure if it's the universe sending us signs but well, it does help most of the time to help us make decisions that are good for us.
Who knows? Maybe one day, a gut feeling might end up saving your life too.
