Is there any downside of following our intuition?

People say, follow your heart. And who doesn't know it's good to go with our intuition, sixth sense, or whatever you call it is.

I always wonder what if my heart is wrong this time. I know I'm not the only one who goes through this same feeling. In these cases, what we need to do? Analyze our intentions, blindly follow our intuition, or take time to reveal 'what is what'?

It would not be good for anyone if I say, we should follow our intuition all the time. Yeah, this may make you uncomfortable if you don't go with your intuition but who knows, maybe you are wrong. I guess you also have gone through many occasions where you find yourself wrong at the end. So knowing the downside of intuition can help us to decide what we should do to make our decision better.

Intuition comes with personal biases. You can't avoid noticing the good if you only listen to your intuition. And this will lead you to overlook other sufficient alternatives. Also, when we try to listen to our intuition all the time there's a high chance that we don't consider all the information. We only choose what matches our intuition. This lack of authentic information doesn't help us to take major decisions in our life correctly.

Moreover, intuition surrounds by prejudices. So maybe what we are thinking is wrong but it will never let us consider this or think these ways.

Take an example where you took a wrong decision forced by your intuition. And everything will be cleared to you. Take your time to understand whether your intuition is helping you or it's just blocking your path. It's not like we should avoid it but we also should consider twice before following it blindly!
