Through the years of studying higher performance, I have learned that trusting your inner promptings is a key component to high performance. A great deal of the work I do involves helping individuals get out of the way of themselves, so they can hear those inner promptings and feel their way through performances rather than thinking their way through the performances. This is how individuals get in the “zone.” What is interesting to me is the times I feel prompted to do something, I do it, but the result is not always (or often for that matter) what I anticipated. I always anticipate a good result when I follow my inner promptings, however, that good result is more times than not an answer of what not to do, or closure to some unresolved thought or issue. For example, I have felt prompted for some time now to drop off one of my books, “The Fearless Mind,” to a certain individual. When I finally got around to following this prompting, the feeling afterwards was one of  ”why did I do that.” This feeling was not what I expected, I wasn’t thinking about anything prior or while dropping it off so I don’t believe my mind perpetuated this feeling. I will be interested to see if I get any follow-up in the future. In closing, following your inner promptings doesn’t always lead to bigger and better. Often times it leads to knowledge of a more closure nature.
