how do you know God is leading you?

yesterday left me with many things to think about. sometimes when you see things unfold in the way i want it to, my first instinct is to think- "okay God. is this a sign from you?"
and sometimes i see things in a certain light cos it makes me feel better, it gives me false assurances about what the future holds.
in retrospect?
I WISH I HAD LEARNT THIS LESSON EARLIER.
then i would be wiser.
and i wouldnt let ridiculous considerations warp my thinking and cloud my better judgment.
haha.
now my better judgment really is better. it's clearer.

God's confirmation is not from feeling. its from many, clear, unequivocal signals and indications that youre on the right track.
the next time i stop and think its a sign, my rationality has to kick in.
