To quote Emma after she discovered that her best friend, Mr. Knightly was possibly marrying another. This was also the same moment she realized that she was in love with him.
Sometimes you just know things. You have a gut feeling either screaming "NO!" at you or strongly moving you forward in a certain direction.
I feel this way about an option I've been offered right now career wise. It just feels wrong. I'm not trying to be close minded or foolish. But yet, my gut feeling rarely misleads me. While it's true sometimes I'm not sure what my gut feeling is or perhaps I want something so badly that I just THINK it's what I "know" there are times when I just don't think I'm wrong about something.
There is a reason God gave us a head and a heart. You need both to make decisions. Many times your heart will tell you what you know is true based on things you have learned in the past or experiences you have had. And while all these things could be logically laid out, often they first present themselves in a feeling, a conviction. From my experience, it's best to listen to this feeling. I think of it as a compass, guiding you to be true to yourself.

I'm the opposite. I get everything logically laid out in my head and then I let my heart decide if it's right. It's probably a male thing, we're fairly concrete thinkers, but you're right, there always has to be a balance between what your logical mind tells you and what your romantic heart tells you (and if they both say the same thing, than hot dang it's a winner!)
I like it. Every feeling revolts. It's true.
