In this sense if we haven't already died and are over 30 or 40 it could be said we are all intuitives. Because if you aren't dead by 30 or 40 you had to be something right in your life.
Let me give you an example: In 2009 I bought a KLR 650 which is a dualsport Kawasaki motorcycle. I was inspired by Long Way Round where Ian mcGregor and his friend rode BMW dualsports starting in England and then went all the way through Europe and Russia and Mongolia and Siberia and then Alaska and Canada and the U.S. and back to England on those likely 1200 GS motorcycles

Long Way Round (LWR) is a British television series, DVD set and book documenting the 19,000-mile (31,000 km) journey of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman from London to New York City on motorcycles. They travelled eastwards through Europe and Asia, flew to Alaska, and continued on by road to New York.

At that point I watched this movie but then did some research and decided to buy not a new BMW 1200 but instead a KLR 650 because it was more simply constructed like an old VW Bug so could be more reliable without all the automatic stuff on a BMW for all the hard riding I would have to do going around the world. The problem was that I was really too old and not in my 30s or 40s which would have been an ideal time to do this. And I had already almost died of a heart virus at age 50. So, in 2009 when I bought this motorcycle I was already 61 years old and now I'm 72 because it's 2020.
So, even though I don't regret buying this motorcycle my eyes were bigger than what was practical for me to do just like when you see some food you want but your eyes are bigger than what can eat and not have problems at 60 or 70 years old.
So, like I said being an intuitive is about assessing the probabilities in any given situation.
Then there is another factor I had a bursa in 2008 and 2009 which made me feel like a cripple so I told my wife I either needed to have an affair or buy a motorcycle. She understood because this bursa in my right heel felt like my foot was literally on fire any time I stood up and walked. I didn't want to start taking pain pills because that is how you get addicted to something so i just toughed it out. So, I bought the motorcycle and that helped my self confidence and macho survive this time in my life. Eventually after a year or two the nerves in the bursa all died and the bursa became numb with no feeling at all in that part of my heel. But, I kept the motorcycle but decided to ONLY ride it when I felt intuitively that I would be safe that day to ride. (I"m not suicidal like I was in my early 20s) because I have a wife and family that want me to stay alive for my wife and kids and grandkids now. So, just like skiing I still ski but only under perfect conditions and I only ride a motorcycle under perfect conditions too where I feel (where I vibe I'm safe to ride and have nothing to worry about.).
But, my angels also take care of me and when this spring I couldn't start my motorcycle because the clutch was sticking I tried really hard to push start it and ti fell down and because I have a hernia from a burst appendix operation in 2015 that I almost died from I can no longer pick up that much weight
176 kg (388 lb) (dry) 196 kg (432 lb) (wet). Even if you think it is 1/2 of 388 pounds that's still lifting at least 194 pounds from the ground after you lay that thing down by accident. And doing that with a hernia isn't a good idea even with a weight lifting belt on I found out. So, I had to get 3 8 foot 2 by 4s and get my wife and a neighbor's wife to help me get it up which we finally did. Then the next time I tried to start it the starter died.
At this point I realized my angels were trying to tell me something which is: "This bike is too heavy and you are too old to be riding something this heavy that you can no longer pick up because of your hernia.
So, Being an intuitive is about assessing correctly the probabilities in any given situation and being right.
