Only through blind Instinct, in which the only possible guidance of the Imperative is awanting, does the Power in Intuition remain undetermined; where it is schematised as absolute it becomes infinite; and where it is presented in a determinate form, as a principle, it becomes at least manifold. By the above-mentioned act of Intelligising, the Power liberates itself from Instinct, to direct itself towards Unity. — Johann Gottlieb Fichte
We would not - from here - counsel anyone to be guided by influences from without. ...

To navigate through these mists of darkness we need the iron rod, which represents the word of God (see 1 Nephi 15:23-24).

And we must hold to the standards found in For the Strength of Youth. — Mary N. Cook
Intuitive guidance means having the self-esteem to recognize that the discomfort or confusion that a person feels is actually directing him to take charge of his life and make choices that will break him out of stagnation or misery.

To be a father is not simply to bring a child into this world. It is to take care of that child and to give him direction and guidance. It's my mother who always did this for me.

It's not going to change things because of a World Cup. — Lilian Thuram

God becomes more approachable as we look to him. — Marvin J. Ashton

We can learn, grow, and become like Him one consistent step at a time. — Richard G. Scott
My relationship with God through Christ has given me meaning and direction. My faith has made a big difference in my personal life, and my public life as well. I make personal decisions every day.

In this situation, it becomes vital that our own country orient its policies in consonance with this basic evolutionary condition rather than pursue a course blind to the reality that the colonial era is now past and the Asian peoples covet the right to shape their own free destiny.
