...even if the impulses
of your heart appear
to be leading you in
the opposite direction
of your goals, if you
want true happiness
and real success you
have to trust and
follow those impulses.
in the wrong direction, because it’s guided
by your accumulated life experience and all
of the hurts and all of the false beliefs you
were told by others that you made your own-
-and not all knowledge you gain through
experience is accurate.
Ideas received directly through infinite
intelligence, however, will bring you much
more powerful results in your life, because
those thoughts, those ideas, bypass the
reasoning mind and come directly from a
source infinitely more reliable than your
filtered life experience. Listening to your
inner voice plugs you in to an energy that’s
greater than yourself. Trusting it will bring
you to your ultimate success.
When I first founded Yes to Success in 1980,
my company became a resounding success
from the time I opened my doors. Within the
first three years after giving my initial free
lecture at the Santa Monica Public Library,
my seminar was being taught in twelve
major US cities and in seven countries on
four continents. I appeared on radio, TV
and in print across the country and was
an in-house trainer for several major US
companies at a time when a woman doing
in-house trainings was almost unheard
of. Several now-renown transformational
leaders were my students including Deepak
Chopra, Marci Shimoff, Janet Attwood,
founder of The Passion Test and NY Times
best selling author Phil Town, and I had the
first infomercial in the history of infomercial
to offer a self-improvement product.
In 1988 when I was about to have my own
daytime television talk show and my Yes to
Success book was in the hands of a major
NY publisher, I gave it all up…every bit of it.
Why? My daughter was born and although
my plan was to give birth and get back to
following my passion of spreading the
message of success throughout the world,
the core of my teaching was in order to live
true success, you need to be true to yourself,
to follow the impulses of truth that speak to
you through your heart.
I taught that even if the impulses of your heart
appear to be leading you in the opposite direction
of your goals, if you want true happiness and
real success you have to trust and follow those
impulses. So on that fateful day in 1988, I took
one look at that little scrunched up face, and
my inner voice said it was time for my career to
come to a screeching halt. I believe that we all
have authenticity meters and if I was telling my
students to listen to their intuition and follow
the promptings of their hearts and I did the
opposite, my authenticity meter would be way
over in the negativity range in their eyes.
