Finding and trusting an inner voice can be a challenge, even for powerful and privilege women. As a theme of today’s edition of “this I believe”, our series is based on the Edward R. Murrow program of the same name from the 1950s.
Today we hear from Christine Todd Whitman, she’s a former governor of New Jersey and she left the EPA at the beginning of the current Bush Administration. Whitman is now president of the Whitman Strategy Group, specializing in energy and environmental issues. With more, here is “this I believe” series’ curator independent producer Jay Allison.

Hi Jay!
Hi Cheryl!
If something we ask of all of essays as if that they look inside themselves to find their own internal compass, Christine Whitman did that , and in fact discover that her believe is inner that liberty act blocking inside. And maybe more than the point, the act of listening, so here she is with her essay for “this I believe”.

If I have learned nothing else during the chorus of my life, I’ve learned to listen to my inner voice. Everyone has one, we call it different things of moral compass we’ve got feeling * our heart, whatever we name it, we should always pay attention to it; it makes us who we are. 
Nine years ago I was in the second year of my second terms as governor of New Jersey, I love that job when I was working hard to make what would be my last term due the term level has producted as my first. Toward the end of that term, the US senate scene opened for New Jersey and I quickly came under intensive pressure to throw my head into the rain. As soon as I said yes, I knew I should have said no. Deep down, I knew I didn’t want a run for the senate. I could do much more as my state chief executive than I could in Washington, where I would be just one one-hundredth of one half of one thirds of the federal government. And the idea of appealing to special interest for the money I would have to raise didn’t set well with me. My inner voice was telling me loud and clear, don’t do it, I didn’t listen. In the end all I took was one trip to Washington D.C. as a senate candidate to know that I just couldn't see this through, so I dropped out of the race. We turned the money that we had raised, and went back to be in governor. My aborted campaign wasn’t one of my final moments, but it reaffirmed my believe and following my inner voice.
A far more personal moment came when my inner voice told me to do something, and I didn’t listen. It was a night before my brother’s third heart surgery when I visited him in the hospital. After walk down the hall in the light talk about our children, it was time to leave. As I saw a line in this hospital bed I had an overwhelming urge to give him a hug and wish him luck. That kind of emotional display was an act of cary for us and I thought my tear mean I was worried, so I didn’t do it. My brother didn’t survive the surgery.
As I look back, I know that most of the mistakes I have made have come when I didn’t listen to myself, when didn’t trust my instincts. There’s so much coming at us everyday that life can get very confusing. But as I’ve always told my children, there is only one person within me to go to bed every night and get up with every morning, and that’s you.
Sometime you stop paying attention to yourself, I believe you need to listen carefully to hear your inner voice, and then you have to do what it says.

That’s Christine Todd Whitman with her essay for this I believe. As you can imagine, Sure after a life politics she’s a custom to receiving advice from every quarter. But she says she listens to herself much more frequently these days and pays attention to what she hears. We are hoping that “tell me more" listeners will take a moment to listen to their inner convictions, or maybe write them down for our series. So at NPR.org/this I believe, there is lots of information that you can read and hear all the essays in our series. For this I believe, I’m Jay Allison, back to you Cheryl.

Thanks Jay. Jay Allison is co-editor with Dan Gediman, John Gregory and Viki Merrick of the book “This I Believe- the Personal Philosophy of Remarkable Men and Women”. Again to find out about some media new essay, visit the “this I believe” page at NPR.org.

And the idea of appealing to special interests for the money I have to raised didn't sit well with me.my inner voice was telling me loud and clear, don't do it. and I didn't listen. In the end, all I took was a trip to washington DC as a senator candidate to know that I just couldn't see this through. so I dropped out of the race, returned the money we have raised and went back to be a governor. My awarded compaion wasn't worth my final moment, but it refirmed my belief and falling my inner voice. A far more personal moment is the inner voice told me to do something and i didn't listen. it was 9th before my brother's third heart surgery when i visited him in the hospital. after walked down to the hall and talked to his children, it was time to leave. as i saw him in his bed and i had overwhelming urge to give him a huge and wish him luck. that kind of emotional display is out of character for us.and i think it was telling my worries so i didn't do it. my brother didn't survive the surgory. as i looked back, most of the mistakes i have made have come when i didn't listen to myself and when i didn't trust my instincts. there are so much coming out of us every day that life can get very confusing. but as i have always told my children,there is only one person with whom you go to bed every night and get up with every morning. and that's you. sometimes you stop paying attention to yourself.i beleve you need to listen carefully to your inner voice and then you have to do what it says. That's christina todd whitman with her essay "for this i believe" as you can imagine,cherry ..her life in politics, she's accustomed to receiving advice from every corner.but she says she listens to herself much more frequently these days and pays attention to what she hears. we are hoping that telling more listeners will take a moment to listen to their inner convictions and maybe write them down for our series.

Finding and trusting an inner voice can be a challenge for powerful and privilege women. As a theme of today's edition of this I believe, our series is based on the Edward R.Murrow program of the same name from the 1950s. Today we hear from Christine Todde Whitman, she is a former governor of New Jersey, and she left the EPA at the begining of the current Bush administration. Whitman now is the president of the Whitman Strategy Groups, specializing in energy environmental issues. With more, here's our series curator and independent producer Jay Aleson.

Hi, Jay.

Hi, Sharero. If something we ask of our essay is that they look inside themselves to find their own internal compass. Christine Whitman did that and in fact discover that her believe is inner liberty act blocking inside and maybe the more than the point, the act of listening. So here she is with her essay for this I believe.

If I have learned nothing else during the courses of my life, I've learned a lesson to my inner voice. Everyone has one, we call it  different things on moral compass has got feeling filling our heart. Whatever we name it, we should always pay attention to it, it makes us we are.

Nine years ago I was on the second year of my second terms governor of New Jersey. I love that job, and I was working hard to make what would to be my last term due to term level as productive as my first. To the end of that term, US senate seat opened for New Jersey and I quickly came uder intensive pressure to throw my head into the rain. As soon I said yes I knew I should have said no.

Deep down I knew I didn't want to run for the senate, I could do much more as my state chief executive(州长) than I could in Washington, where I would be just one one-hundredth of one half of one thirds of the federal government. And the idea of appealing the special interest for the money I would have to raise didn't set well with me. My inner voice told me loud and clear: Don't do it. I didn't listen. In the end, all I took was one trip to Washington.DC's as a senate candidate to know that I just couldn't see this through. So I drop out the race. Returned the money we had raised and went back to be a governor.

My aborted campaign wasn't one of my final moments, but it reaffirmed my belief and following my inner voice. A far more personal moment came when my inner voice told me to do something and I didn't listen. It was the night before my brother's third heart surgery when I visited him in the hospital. After walked down the hall in th light talk about our children, it was time to leave. As I saw a line in his hospital bed I had an overwhelming urge to give him a hug wish him luck. That kind of emotional display was out of character(不合适) for us and I thought that my tallyman was worried. So I didn't do it. My brother didn't survive the surgery.

As I look back I know the most of the mistakes I have made have come when I didn't listen to myself, when I didn't trust my instincts. There are so much coming at us every day that life can get very confusing. But as I've always told my children, there's one person with me go to bed every night and get up with every morning, and that's you. Sometimes you stop paying attention to yourself. I believe you need to listen carefully to hear your inner voice, and then you have to what it says.

That's Christine Todde Whitman with her essay for this I believe. As you can imagine, share left a life in politics she is a custom to receive advice from every quarter. But she says she listens to herself much more frequently these days and pays attention to what hear. We hoping that tell me more lessons we will take a moment to listen to their inner convictions, or maybe write them down for our series. So at npr.org/I believe, there is a lot of information and you can read and hear all the essays in our series. For this I belive, I'm Jay Aleson. Back to you, Sharero.
