Listening to the voice inside your head... then ACTING on it.

Are you really living an authentic life if something rushes through your head, be it an image or words, and you don't act on it?

Probably not.

Why did I say 'probably'? Well, you CERTAINLY aren't if you have programmed into your subconscious the right things you want for yourself. Even if you haven't, you probably know them anyway, they'll just be less clear in your head.

So yeah, you have to act on them. In the visualisation I've been doing today, I've been picturing myself at the end of my life, at an awards ceremony or something, saying "Yeah... I wasn't 'supposed' to have the level success I have now, this wasn't supposed to 'happen' to me. But no matter what people said to me, no matter what the situation, I've always had that self belief. People are more skilled than me in certain aeras, but very few have that same level of inner belief." (And understanding I guess.)

Anyway yeah... have to make that happen. I will though. Part of this post came out of writing an email to Stevie PUA- click on link to visit his site. I'd recommend clicking on all of the links if you haven't already.
