A Note From Dr. Annette Colby

“The idea for Your Highest Potential came to me ten years ago after an epiphany. To this day, I vividly remember the moment I collapsed in despair, ready to give up on my dream of being able to show others and myself how to absolutely love being alive, human, in a physical body. Up until that point, I bought into the idea that if I could eliminate enough layers of pain, then ultimately an inner core of joy would surface. After years of working through the layers, I began to comprehend that as long as I continued to focus on emotional pain, I continued to find more. There was always some insecurity, lack of confidence, heartache, or sorrow to explore. I had enough. I was exhausted by my efforts, and yet I still had not found the holy grail of inner peace.

In a moment of absolute surrender, I fell to my knees. There had to be more than feeling better some of the time. I wanted more. I knew, deep within myself, that more was possible. If searching was all I could do, I was ready to give up. I would not keep “working” on myself, or holding the promise of joy with my clients, if feeling somewhat better was the only outcome.

That was it! The moment of my surrender opened up the doorway to my spirit. Suddenly, I shifted into an understanding that I had always carried with me, but never before consciously understood. Clearing out the pain, although useful, was not the same as allowing joy. There was something within us, our divine spirit, which was whole, healed, intact, and joyful. The process of enjoying life was not only about healing old wounds, but also allowing ourselves to receive our spirit, our true self, into our life, body, and mind. From this insight was born a renewed enthusiasm for my own life and the beginning of Your Highest Potential. In that moment, I felt as if the gates of potential opened to me, as if I finally understood how to create a whole new life, a life of my own choosing.

It took me nearly a decade to reach the release of Your Highest Potential because, frankly, I didn’t know how the pieces went together. I knew I wanted to create a reading experience that helped other people awaken to their true potential. I wanted to share a feeling and an understanding that they could start over again and create the life they had always wanted. But how could I create an experience like that for others? I didn’t figure that answer out until last year. I invite you to read Your Highest Potential and tell me if I got it right. ”
