Introspection

I ntuition, I've discerned, usually leads to the right conclusion.
N othing is ever so simple that I'd consider it without examination.
T houghts are often tempted to trust titillation instead of theory. 
R eflections and meditation always help me in making decisions.
O bservation can be a useful aid to gain a clearer understanding.
S eeking answers through speculation can slant my thoughts.
P erceptions from my heart are reveries based solely on emotions.
E yes that see with scrutiny only gather a glimpse of what is fact.
C onclusions drawn from brooding contemplation is often pretentious.
T aking my imperfections into consideration, I won't judge another.
I deas and reasons change as quickly as the sun sets into the sea.
O pinions are recognized by most people as not being worth a penny.
N ever will I allow my ego to assume my assessments are correct.
