Glad you stopped by - seems the list of people waiting to be interviewed is growing!  Pretty exciting.  Tomorrow (Wed) is the second part with John Wesley and I think it'll get a little more interesting.</description>

		<description>If I might drop back in here...

This had me recalling a blog post of Stephen's that I had read. He had a bolt of intuition that was life altering.!  

He wrote about it here.....

I admire you both for following your inner guidance 
and for openly sharing your life story.</description>

		<description>Hey John &#38; Stephen,

For me, the greatest *GEM* of this interview is when John revealed "I had zero interest in self help/self improvement before I started PickTheBrain."  This is the second time in 2 days, I've read where a person had 'zero interest', as soon as I read that answer, I thought... 'WOW, he followed his intuition'.  

Then Stephen, you went on to point that out in your comment after #8.   :)))))))

The reason that this has me buzzing is because last week I was listening to an audio book by Caroline Myss, Self-Esteem Your Fundamental Power.  I went just now and played that part over a few times so I could relate what Myss says....

(Start of quote)

"If you can’t hear your intuition, you don’t respect yourself enough, regard yourself enough…….

High voltage intuitive hits tend to have the following characteristics:  

*They tend not to look like anything you do in your life.
*They direct you to something you have very little skill at doing.  It’s juxtaposed to your familiar self.   
*You think, “How could I hear such a thing”?.....   
*“How could it be talking to me”?

"When you follow this intuition, you will depend on guidance in a way you’ve never done before.    It keeps you praying more, it keeps you living in mystery, as opposed to living in that sense of, I know what to do, I know how to do it, I know this and I know that. The state of humble self esteem is the direction we’re going."  

(end quote)

The thing that makes this SO big time huge is that following an intuitive hit, that is so against ones grain, would no doubt bring some objections from people in your life.  

Did that happen to you John?  Did those around you say....'WHAT are you thinking?"

Thanks John granting Stephen the interview.  Now I have to skip on over to Pick The Brain. 

xo xo

		<description>I am also an ardent fan of pick the brain. I find the blog posts very useful and refreshing. Nice to learn a bit more about the author.</description>

		<description>Tevjan:

Welcome to Adversity University!  Glad to have you participate and share your thoughts.  It is through interviews with people like John that make us realize that we don't always have to know exactly how things will manifest but that if it's meant to be, it will if we let it.  John is a good example of someone who followed his intuition and took action.  Look where it got him!</description>

		<description>Corinne:

Thanks!  In the beginning I didn't do that but then the more I do, the more I realized that adding my input would be something an interviewer would do in a live situation.  As you can see, the interview program is slowly evolving as we go along and is another way of adding a personal touch to it, making it as interactive and personable as possible.

I'm glad to see that it's having an effect on others like yourself.  Having my responses in a different color is an attempt to break the black and white train of thought.</description>
