I have a sense that the more humble you are the more accurate your intuition becomes, because it is not clouded by the ego wanting to be proven right in existing beliefs. Paradoxically, you become more powerful as a result, simply by having a tighter grasp on reality.
And happier, too. I speak from experience. It has a lot to do with my profile name... I found the real me only after shedding ego. What a journey!
