Four Lessons About Using Intuition for Important Decisions
Learn to use your intuition to help guide you down the road of life when the way ahead is unclear.
Fifteen years ago, a single phrase from a song appeared in my dream and answered a big business decision I was struggling with
At the time, I had analyzed the situation from every angle. I had made the pros-and-cons lists. I had thought about the risks and the opportunities.
And still, the reasons to move forward and not to move forward were almost perfectly balanced.
Logic had taken me as far as it could.
So I did something I often teach people to do when they reach that point: I asked my intuition for guidance.
A few nights later, I had a dream. It answered the question I had been wrestling with.
Before I tell you the story of that dream, I want to share a few important lessons this experience taught me about working with intuition.
Because when you learn how to ask your intuition the right questions, it can become one of the most powerful decision-making tools you have.
Four Lessons About Using Intuition for Important Decisions
1. Intuition is most valuable when you don’t have all the answers
We often try to make decisions only when we feel we have enough data.
But some of the most important decisions in life: relationships, career paths, creative directions happen in situations where complete information simply doesn’t exist.
You can research.
You can gather advice.
You can analyze.
But eventually you reach a point where logic runs out.
That’s where intuition becomes incredibly useful.
Your subconscious mind is constantly processing information you aren’t consciously aware of: patterns, experiences, emotional signals, and subtle environmental cues.
Intuition is often the way that deeper intelligence communicates with you.
2. When the pros and cons are equal, intuition becomes the deciding factor
Sometimes decisions feel impossible because both options look equally good.
Or equally risky.
You make a pros-and-cons list… and it comes out perfectly balanced.
That’s a signal that logic has reached its limit.
In those moments, the decision often isn’t about which option is objectively better.
It’s about which option aligns more deeply with your highest good.
Intuition helps you sense which path fits the deeper trajectory of your life something logic alone can’t always detect.
3. The more specific your question, the clearer the intuitive answer
One of the biggest mistakes people make when asking their intuition for guidance is asking vague questions.
Questions like:
“What should I do?”
“What’s the right path?”
Those questions are so broad that the answers tend to be equally broad.
But when you ask a specific question, intuition often responds with remarkable clarity.
This is something I learned through years of dream work and subconscious exploration.
Your subconscious mind responds much more effectively when it knows exactly what you’re asking.
Instead of asking:
“What should I do with my business?”
You might ask:
“Is moving forward with this opportunity aligned with my highest path right now?”
The more precise the question, the easier it is for your intuition to respond.
And that lesson became incredibly clear during the dream I’m about to share.
4. You can ask your intuition for validation
Another thing many people don’t realize is that intuition is not always a one-time event.
You can actually continue the conversation.
After receiving intuitive guidance, you can ask for confirmation.
You can ask for signs.
You can ask for validation.
You can ask your subconscious mind to show you additional clarity.
I’ve done this many times in my life.
And it’s one of the ways you begin to build real trust in your intuition.
Because the more you engage with it, the more responsive it becomes.
The Dream That Answered My Business Question
All of these principles came together in a dream I had while wrestling with that business decision.

Because sometimes the subconscious mind doesn’t just whisper guidance…
Sometimes it answers in the language of a song.
And when it does, the message can be surprisingly powerful.
