Dear Intuition Newsletter friends -
This week I'm posting a question that was asked for my "Ask Lynn" column. Are you interested in asking your own question? Check out my "Ask Lynn" page.
Question: I'm looking for work and it's getting me down. I really want to be successful in my chosen career, but I keep getting setbacks. Have I chosen the wrong thing? Am I doing something wrong? How can I use intuition to help me? - Margaret
Answer: Thanks for your question, Margaret. I know you're not alone in having these concerns. I hear this a lot from my intuitive reading clients. It continues to amaze me to witness people transforming their lives from being stuck in a rut to amazingly successful. I've thought long and hard about what allows some people to lead positive, happy and balanced lives. Here are the seven keys that I've observed.
Successful people...How to Think Like a Successful Person
... have a clear dream or goal. They pay attention to what makes them happy, enthusiastic and energized. They use that information to assist them in making the right choices and decisions.
... visualize and affirm their success. Not all of them sit down and formally focus on visualizations and affirmations. They think about their hopes and dreams and in their own self-talk they tell themselves that they'll figure out a way to achieve them.
... take appropriate risks. They understand that they'll have to move out of their comfort zone at times and will feel anxious and uncertain. They know that everyone feels uncomfortable when attempting something new. Despite this anxiety, they persevere.
... trust their intuition. Whether they call it a hunch, an instinct or Divine guidance, they pay attention to their inner wisdom. They take action on the information that their intuition provides and follow its direction.
... have patience and faith. To achieve their goals they have a long-term perspective. They know they'll achieve what they desire. They enjoy the process of getting there as much as attaining the goal. They understand there will be tough times and setbacks but they persevere.
... trust that things will work out. They tell themselves that while they might be going through a difficult transition, they have what it takes to succeed. They focus on any and all successes they had in the past as evidence that points to this truth.
... take action. They understand that small steps are important. They have a plan. If they meet with a detour or an impediment in their path, they simply step back and reassess the situation. They discover where they may have gone wrong, and proceed to take action again, this time in the right direction.
I love the quote from author Susan Jeffers who wrote the book, "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway." "We cannot escape fear. We can transform it into a companion that accompanies us on all our exciting adventures... Take a risk a day - one small or bold stroke that will make you feel great once you have done it."
Margaret, I hope this list has been helpful! Please check in with me in a few months and let me know how things are going. I see good things for you!

Here's what Natalie R. posted about her reading with me:
" Creating my dream life by shifting my thoughts and taking new actions has recently become a priority for me, and things are starting to show up in big ways. I'm about to finish grad school, and I could go in so many directions. I felt that I need guidance from someone who could look directly into what I wanted to create, and help me focus on making it happen by clarifying the "Big picture" goals and small daily steps. My session with Lynn was just what I needed. Throughout our conversation she zeroed in on the exact issues I was confused about. She could sense the energy surrounding what I want to be doing, and she could see exciting possibilities for my future that I hadn't thought of before! Overall I felt incredibly reassured that I'm on the right track to create the life of my dreams, and I gained valuable insights to help me more effectively visualize and create what I want. I will be moving forward with even greater confidence and clarity now that I've had the pleasure of receiving insights from Lynn's talents and gifts!"
