You know when you find yourself staring at a painting or building or even a tree and you’re unable to pair words with your feelings, instead getting lost in the moment and having to shake yourself back into reality? Then this leads to a decision that, without any questions, was right all along because your instinct let you in on the secret?

MINI went in seek of people just like that: Those who put the butterflies in charge and don’t let logic and reason get in the way of trusting their gut. They found four extraordinary people who were willing to share their stories. For some, it was one pivotal moment that changed their lives forever, for others it’s going with their gut every single day.

The biggest decisions in life should be made instinctively. The ones where you defy convention and logic to pursue what you know to be right, without really knowing why. After all, you don’t pick a partner based on their exam results.
