Using Your Inner Guidance System
By Brian Tracy
October 27, 2008
Excerpt From:  Personal Success
You have incredible powers of mind and emotions that give you timely and accurate feedback in every area of your life.

In this newsletter, you learn how to "tune in" to yourself so you can make the right decision in every situation.

Using Your Inner Guidance System
We know that the body has a natural bias toward health and energy. It's designed to last for 100 years with proper care and maintenance. When something goes wrong with any part of our body, we experience it in the form of pain or discomfort of some kind.

We know that when our body is not functioning smoothly and painlessly, something is wrong, and we take action to correct it. We go to a doctor; we take pills; we undergo physical therapy, massage or chiropractic. We know that if we ignore pain or discomfort for any period of time, it could lead to something more serious.

How to Tell Right From Wrong
In the same sense, nature also gives us a way to tell emotionally what's right for us and what's wrong for us in life. Just as nature gives us physical pain to guide us to doing or not doing things in the physical realm, nature gives us emotional pain to guide us toward doing or not doing things in the emotional or mental realm. The wonderful thing is that you're constructed so that if you simply listen carefully to yourself-to your mind, your body and your emotions-and follow the guidance you're given, you can dramatically enhance the quality of your life.

Just as the natural physical state of your body is health and vitality, your natural emotional state is peace and happiness. Whenever you experience a deviation from peace and happiness, it's an indication that something is amiss. Something is wrong with what you're thinking, doing or saying. Your feeling of inner happiness is the best indicator you could ever have to tell you what you should be doing more of and what you should be doing less of.

The Messenger
Unhappiness is to your life as pain is to your body. It is sent as a messenger to tell you that what you're doing is wrong for you.

Very often, you'll suffer from what has been called "divine discontent." You'll feel fidgety and uneasy for a reason or reasons that are unclear to you. You'll be dissatisfied with the status quo. Sometimes, you'll be unable to sleep. Sometimes, you'll be angry or irritable. Very often, you'll get upset with things that have nothing to do with the real issue. You'll have a deep inner sense that something isn't as it should be, and you'll often feel like a fish on a hook, wriggling and squirming emotionally to get free.

Divine Discontent
And that is a good thing. Divine discontent always comes before a positive life change. If you were perfectly satisfied, you would never take any action to improve or change your circumstances. Only when you're dissatisfied for some reason do you have the inner motivation to engage in the outer behaviors that lead you onward and upward.

Listen to yourself. Trust your inner voice. Go with the flow of your own personality. Do the things that make you feel happy inside and you'll probably never make another mistake.

Action Exercises
Here are three steps you can take immediately to put these ideas into action.

First, listen to yourself and trust your own feelings. If there is a part of your life that causes you stress and unhappiness, resolve to deal with it.

Second, identify those areas of your life where you are dissatisfied or frustrated for any reason. What changes should you, could you make?

Third, remember that nature wants you to be happy, healthy, popular and prosperous. Any deviation from those conditions is a signal to you that action is necessary.

</span><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 12pt; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-style: italic;">By: Brian Tracy<br>
<br>
</span><span style="color: #222222; font-weight:normal; font-size:12pt; font-family: Arial;">Persuasion power can help you get more of the things
you want faster than anything else you do. It can mean the difference between success
and failure. It can guarantee your progress and enable you to use all of your other
skills and abilities at the very highest level. Your persuasion power will earn
you the support of others.<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt; color: #336699; font-family: Arial;">You Have Two Choices<br>
</span><span style="color: #222222; font-weight:normal; font-size:12pt; font-family: Arial;">There are always two choices: either you can persuade
others to help you or you can be persuaded to help them. It is one or the other.
Most people are not aware that every human interaction involves a complex process
of persuasion and influence. And being unaware, they are usually the ones being
persuaded to help others rather than the ones who are doing the persuading.<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt; color: #336699; font-family: Arial;">The Key to Persuasion<br>
</span><span style="color: #222222; font-weight:normal; font-size:12pt; font-family: Arial;">The key to persuasion is motivation. Every human action
is motivated by something. Your job is to find out what motivates other people and
then to provide that motivation.<br>
<br>
People have two major motivations: the desire for gain and the fear of loss. The
desire for gain motivates people to want more of the things they value in life.
They want more money, more success, more health, more influence, more respect, more
love and more happiness.<br>
<br>
Human wants are limited only by individual imagination. No matter how much a person
has, he or she still wants more and more. When you can show a person how he or she
can get more of the things he or she wants by helping you achieve your goals, you
can motivate them to act in your behalf.<br>
</span><br>
<span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt; color: #336699; font-family: Arial;">A Presidential Insight<br>
</span><span style="color: #222222; font-weight:normal; font-size:12pt; font-family: Arial;">President Eisenhower once said that, &quot;Persuasion is
the art of getting people to do what you want them to do, and to like it.&quot; You need
always to be thinking about how you can get people to want to do the things that
you need them to do to attain your objectives.<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt; color: #336699; font-family: Arial;">The Fear of Loss<br>
</span><span style="color: #222222; font-weight:normal; font-size:12pt; font-family: Arial;">People are also motivated to act by the fear of loss.
This fear, in all its various forms, is often stronger than the desire for gain.
People fear financial loss, loss of health, anger or disapproval of others, loss
of the love of someone and the loss of anything they have worked hard to accomplish.
They fear change, risk and uncertainty because these threaten them with potential
losses.<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt; color: #336699; font-family: Arial;">Use Dual Motivation<br>
</span><span style="color: #222222; font-weight:normal; font-size:12pt; font-family: Arial;">Whenever you can show a person that, by doing what
you want them to do, they can avoid a loss of some kind, you can influence them
to take a particular action. The very best appeals are those where you offer an
opportunity to gain and an opportunity to avoid loss at the same time.<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt; color: #336699; font-family: Arial;">Action Exercises<br>
</span><span style="color: #222222; font-weight:normal; font-size:12pt; font-family: Arial;">Here are two things you can do immediately to put
these ideas into action.<br>
<br>
First, before trying to convince someone of something, take a little time to think
and ask questions to find out what it is he really wants. Then, motivate him to
act by showing him how you can help him get it.<br>
<br>
Remember, people are motivated for their reasons, not yours.<br>
