Success and Authenticity

Success and Authenticity

For those of you who attended “The Magical Map in Your Hands” workshop, here are 4 of my blog posts that talk more about the life schools: Peace, Wisdom, Love, and Service.

I’m really interested in the connection between success and authenticity. Why? Because the connection has eluded me up until recently, and I want to be certain others aren’t as misguided as I was.

Success always seemed to me to be something that had to be achieved by scaling the architecture of societal dictates. In other words, by doing what other people said to do. I used to believe success required us to do whatever was necessary to fit in to society, to our job, our peers, our family, etc. Now I believe that success actually stems from our ability to be who we truly are, and to express our inner brilliance.

What changed my mind? I tried for decades, (too many of them), to “fit in,” to make myself into a square peg so I could easily fit in to the square hole. At the least, it made me grumpy, dry, and boring. At the worst, it broke my heart and spirit and nearly made me give up the ghost. It never occurred to me that if I insisted on being the real me, with all my unique assets and liabilities, the Universe would support me by opening paths and presenting opportunities so that I could do what I loved, serve the world, and thrive, all at the same time.

This is where having a Life Purpose Hand Analysis is a huge advantage. The reason it didn’t occur to me to just be myself, was I believed I wasn’t enough the way I was. A hand analysis is an amazing way to see yourself as the Universe (or God) sees you: An amazing person with talents, gifts, potential, and challenges. Growing, learning, shining. It’s like seeing yourself in a mirror that reflects your “Cinderella-at-the-ball” self. Simply goahgous! (That’s gorgeous, with an accent :>))

If you haven’t had a hand analysis from me, do it NOW! Success and authenticity are inextricably linked.

My pricing is still substantially below industry standard. Why? Because I want you to be able to have one! I’m still only charging $297, even though I’ve been told I shouldn’t offer them for less than $500 because of their power to transform lives. And until Thursday, October 3rd at midnight, you can get one for only $197. Just click here to purchase yours.

By the way, a big thank you to all of you who have supported me in the Next Great Visionary Business Contest. Victories are team accomplishments, and this is no exception. Thanks for being on my team!
