I have read somewhere that if you feel good and happy, then its your higher self talking. Is there a possibility that your ego can talk such as to make you feel good?
For me I've personally found when I take action, the consequences that arise will show me what my motivation was. This of course takes a lot of time, energy & patience but.. it has been fairly accurate.

When I've been fear-based - taking a job because I was afraid I didn't have enough money.. it has resulted in manifesting a job with say.. a sort of nasty boss.

I will admit I am still growing in this area though so my advice is from where I'm at right now But.. I would say yes, if its your higher self/intuition/whatever you call it.. it will result positively in growth & a positive direction which results in at least a temporary feel-good result.

However, a negative result resulting in fear/sadness/depression/anger may be due to listening to ego. For me what has helped is sitting with myself a lot more & really listening to what my heart says.

& there are of course times when its your ego talking .. such as with addictions which temporarily make you feel good but the overall result is a downward spiral which is evident to many outsiders looking in. Gosh I hope this makes sense!
