Trust Your Instincts


I remember hearing about a book years ago from a friend. It was
called "Talk and Grow Rich" and one of the things that was said
in there was "If an idea comes to you from your subconcious
mind, then it's coming to you because you have the ability to
pull it off."

For example, if you suddenly get the idea while you are having a
shower and a shave tomorrow morning that you should start
running ghost tours around your town or city, perhaps you should
listen to it.

(Sorry, my wife is reading the "Twilight Series" of books by
Stephanie Meyer at the moment and I am being influenced by talk
of Vampires and Werewolf's.)

Anyway, my point is that each of us is unique.

And if you read something in one of my emails...

or in one of Brian Tracy or Anthony Robbin's books... or perhaps
you hear Dan Kennedy or Peter Sun say something... you should
take thatinformation and let it sit inside you for awhile...

... before deciding if it works for you.

I get up early each morning, usually before 5am.

That works for me.

Other people might like to work late. Other people might like to
follow the strategies of "The Four Hour Work Week" (although I'm
yet to meet anyone who has personally pulled this off) and work
just half a day a week.

My point is that each of us needs to learn to assimilate
information and make it our own.

And trust our instincts while we are at it. After all, when we
get an idea which ignites our passion, something just "fires
off" inside our brain and we KNOW there's something special
about it.

Even Sir Richard Branson believes this, saying that he will push
through ideas with his management group, simply because he gets
a great feeling about it.

In Malcolm Gladwell's book, Blink, he says the same thing: you
can have all the research in the world, but usually your first
gut feeling about a person or a thing is the right one.

So here's what I believe is one of the most misunderstood keys
to success.

First, you need to get your reticular activating system working
by focusing on what you want and drawing opportunities to you.

How does the Reticular Activating System (or RAS for short)
work? It's basically a way of focusing your mind and noticing
opportunities.

For example, you decide you want to buy the latest model of BMW
and all of a sudden you see it everywhere on the road.

The RAS works the same way: you decide you want to find a new
office suites and you notice ads you didn't notice before... or
signs on windows you used to drive right past.

Anyway, enough about RAS. After all, it's just one step in the
equation.

The second step is once you can visualise what you want and have
your RAS working for you, you must listen to your intuition.

And when your intuition says "YES" then follow it no matter
what.

It happens to me when I write copy. I come across a headline and
my intuition says "YES" - it is often spot on!

It happens when I purchase certain information products.

It happens when I meet people.

It happens when I receive new leads.

So learn to trust your instincts. Because under your instincts,
in my view is a depth of wisdom which our logical minds don't
see.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
