In the moment and in time

Sometimes in a big decision you have two conflicting processes: the feeling of "this is the right decision" (perhaps spurred by being "in the moment") and then actually thinking about and discerning the decision.

The former has the pure emotional reaction, and sure, making your decision purely on emotional grounds probably isn't the wisest thing to do (most of the time?), but simply denying the pure feeling completely... isn't that being dishonest to yourself to some degree?

The latter is purely rational (hopefully) but still, perhaps in the most extreme case, you could quite possibly undermine and even neglect how really felt about the situation. 

But if there is any justice in the world, then at the least this must be true in making a big decision: you need a lot of time and prayer; your true feelings shouldn't be ignored and if they last through the thought/discernment process... then I guess you have your answer.
