If you believe you are disadvantaged in your life and that is why you can’t get ahead, that is exactly how your life will play out. It is impossible for you to have all the advantages that life has to offer if you don’t believe it is possible for you and that it belongs to you too! If you want to manifest for your life you must get rid of a lack mentality and develop an abundant mentality.
Have you ever been in a situation where you felt so much emotion that it felt as if you were going to implode? The worst part about it is that these feelings typically begin very small but over time, they breed into a mega-storm of emotions. Sometimes we can head these things off at the pass if we are willing to deal with our feelings right as they happen. Unfortunately we usually let these emotions build and build until they get out of control, which usually result in harm to ourselves and those around us.
When you were little, were you afraid of the dark? It is okay to admit you were. Many of us have had fears about something we could not see, or we imagined to be real. Hallows Eve brings back memories of witches brew, candied apples, ghosts and ghouls, and everything in between. But for some of us, there are real fears of the unknown – fears from past trauma, fears of isolation, fears about loneliness and even fears about guilt. All too often, we would rather live with those constant fears than face them head on.
Were you aware that you have the power inside you to create positivity and prosperity? You do. When you use your imagination to view challenges as opportunities, you begin to re-patte your thoughts and your mindset into a more powerful one that steers the positive flow of Universal energy into ...
I know. Every year it is the same thing. You are all pumped up for the big event, and you have already made out your wish list of resolutions that you plan to carry out in the New Year. Yet year after year, you continue to do the same things that keep holding you back in your life. Why? Is it because you are used to leading your life a certain way? Is it because you have grown complacent to the comfort of knowing how each day is going to be like for you? Or is it because somewhere deep inside of you, you are afraid to let go of all the “stuff” that you have been holding onto?
Do you believe that you have control over the abundance, success and wealth that flows into your life? Many people tend to think that they have to be born healthy, lucky, and wealthy to achieve success in life but that is not nearly the case at all. While a little luck (or soul power) always comes in handy, it's important to realize that we are all born with soul blueprints that are exclusive to our own individuality. Those blueprints are essential in the pursuit of happiness, health, and prosperity.
Today you may have a financially-sound career and you may have earned the respect of your colleagues. But when you get home at the end of the day, you feel like something is missing from your life. Perhaps your personal life is empty – even if you have a significant other or “friends” on Facebook. Why do you feel the way you do? What triggers in your daily routine keep coming up that bring these past emotional wounds to the surface? Is it the stress of juggling career and home? Is it because you are the breadwinner and you feel like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders?
There was a Dodge commercial a few years back that emphasized originality; more so, it highlighted the importance of being “different” and standing apart from the crowd. Children and young adults often find themselves in a place where they feel like they must be like the rest of the crowd to fit in… sometimes caving into peer pressure even when it’s the wrong path. When you notice that your child is trying to find her identity among her peers, it is generally a good idea to begin guiding her in a steady and healthy way.
Do you believe in the afterlife or rebirth of the Soul? Do you believe that it is possible that a person can regain a life he has lost…or perhaps even transform the life that he is living? Following is a literal example of the Soul’s rebirth: I had once read a story about a man dying from an incurable disease. As it was, he was reborn into another life. In the story, the man spoke about how he agonizingly watched the tearful goodbyes of his loved ones. He recalled a long dark tunnel that he traveled through only to suddenly be brought to a brilliant ball of beckoning light.
Crying over what happened yesterday doesn’t produce freedom and it doesn’t get you moving forward. Nothing that has happened in the past surprises your Creator! He knows everything! Maybe it is time to release your regrets, your bitte ess and choose to live in the present moment of now where new possibilities are available for you to identify, explore and seek out. If you are craving to reach your highest potential and manifest your heart’s desires, you need to keep your mind, body and spirit focusing on the present moment of now.
Has anyone ever asked you if you have discovered your niche? Since I was very young, I knew that one day I would be using my talents to help others in life feel better about themselves. The path that I took was far different than what I envisioned but the outcome has been fabulous!
Taming your tongue is a major factor in reaching your highest potential for your life. Sometimes when we are in stressful situations, we say things that we really don't mean or that we should not speak. Those are the times we often blurt out negative words without thinking first and the repercussions are long lasting. If you prepare yourself to cultivate better habits for what comes out of your mouth, you will be doing yourself a big favor.
Have you ever had opportunity slap you in the face and every day since you said NO to it, you have kicked yourself? Sometimes, when a door opens, you must accept the challenge and just go with it. When you hesitate at a chance to embark on a new direction, time will quickly pass you by and you will not again have that same opportunity. The same is true if you do not apply yourself in pursuing possibilities for yourself. This means that if you truly want something in your life, you have to GO AFTER IT. In reality, life does not drop things into your lap.
Times do get tough; sometimes we want to give up because things don’t seem fair. We get discouraged and think maybe what I want isn’t meant to be for me, yet I want you to know just because your life gets tough, don’t give up, give in or get so discouraged that you settle for mediocrity.
An individual I know recently decided that she was going to kick the cigarette habit after a lifetime of smoking. She had made several attempts to quit in the past, but no matter what she tried, she always seemed to fail. It was after she realized that she had to change her frame of mind that ...
When we suddenly discover the innate calling for greatness in our lives, it's important to follow through on our higher voice of wisdom. In most instances, our life purpose is being presented to us and that means we must follow our gut feelings to achieve the spiritual growth that is necessary ...
Supreme Court Justice, Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "Where we love is home, home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts." Love is indeed a splendorous thing - but what it boils down to is being able to find the love within yourself to restore the harmony and balance to your authentic ...
Have you ever overextended yourself by making promises you could not keep? Or maybe you have decided to no longer volunteer because you were unable to follow through on your commitments. If this sounds familiar to you, then you must realize that you cannot continue on this path. When others start seeing that you are not capable of following through on your commitments, it puts you in a precarious position.
"You'll be blessed, you'll have the best, I promise you that..." sings Elton John (in his hit song, Blessed.) The truth is that God made a promise long before you were even created that you would be blessed by His wondrous love. That is the miracle of life; and rediscovering the hope that has ...
Okay, so you have heard about Cesar Milan, the dog whisperer and I am sure you have heard about the movie, “The Horse Whisperer,” starring Robert Redford…but do you know what a “baby whisperer” is?
I do not believe that most of us think about living a life of mediocrity but in truth that is exactly what is happening.
Financial disasters, droughts and floods, earthquakes and other natural upheavals encourage many people to pray and seek a hopeful outcome. Unfortunately, too often, it takes an extreme situation to bring us to our knees in prayer and hopefulness for our lives. For we American’s this is a time of year when we think about freedom and the privileges that we have, but as we come to the summer season, I believe this might be the perfect opportunity to slow down and reflect on all our blessings and gifts.

Be aware that you have the ability to empower yourself each and every day. Your soul works hand in hand with your mind and body as an energy source to help you recharge just like those rechargeable batteries you buy at the local retailer. How do you think you get that burst of energy to finish that last minute project, get up and go in the morning, answer the phone or prepare a meal (among other daily chores)? It takes more energy to succumb to fear and anger than it does to simply breath, smile and embrace the moment of the here and now with positivity.
Learning to live a self-disciplined life allows us to control our tongue; that is, we can speak from wisdom not conceit and from understanding not brazenness. A self-disciplined person enables him/her to be focused and centered on those talents that will help you reach your destiny in a timely manner.
Franklin D. Roosevelt said at his first Inaugural Address, "...the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." This statement is so true in so many ways. When we fear change, we aren't necessarily fearing the change, we are fearing the unknown; and the unknown can sometimes be scary for some ...
I have observed that in my area, there is a lot of money in the hands of the people who flock to Florida seeking fun, greater happiness and a better way of life. In truth, don't we all seek those attributes but struggle to achieve? People can't wait to retire so they can enjoy some fun, greater happiness and a better way of life yet we should be aspiring to live our lives that way on a day-to-day basis.

In a recent article by David Peters (Does Intuition and Romance Have Anything to Do With Each Other?), intuition is referenced in relation to the relationships we have in our lives. How very important intuition is, indeed. It plays into the scheme of forming special and long-lasting bonds with ...
10 years ago, I began to realize that it was time for me to use my gifts to help others. I didn't want to do it...that wasn't the life that I choose for me! 10 years ago, I was recovering from a serious car accident and living at home with my parents. I remember my frustrations, anger and ...
Did you ever hear about the story of the Little Engine that could? Angel Uzziel knows all too well how trusting self and believing in self to succeed is part of what helped a little caboose pull a train over the hill. If you repeat I think I can enough, you begin to believe it to be true. The fact of the matter is that when you think you can achieve something, you begin to subconsciously and actively work toward achieving the means to an end.
Our words have the power to lift the spirits of others We don’t know what other people are going through; they may be smiling on the outside but hurting on the inside. We can bring healing to others, which in turn enables us to heal our lives at the same time. The power is within you to cause others to pursue their dreams, enrich their lives and offer support and encouragement. As you begin to empower others with your words, you are also empowering yourself too.

Even the lowly cocoon takes some amount of time to come full circle in its metamorphosis.
There are those special few, who've chosen career paths as teachers and mentors. I have a lot of good things to say about teachers because they're the ones who give us the basic life skills to survive and succeed. Unfortunately, our "life trainers" are human beings just like the rest of us, ...
Transformation starts with Changing your Thoughtsr Posted by Intuition Girl Do you think it is acceptable to hurt, insult or injure someone personally or even professionally? Is your response, “No, not me”? It is very painless to say something or do something mean-spirited without thinking about the repercussions of our actions.

In a day and age where technology appears to rule the day and the sky is virtually the limit in what we can achieve, I often find that young adults seem to have the most difficulty adapting to their new roles in life. Once young men and women get past raging hormones, acne and the feelings of peer acceptance – they are often still overwhelmed by the challenges and uncertainty of the times. It is easy for those of us, ripened with time and experience, to wonder how these feelings of lack and overwhelm can be so prolific in our youth.
Ever wonder how some couples stay happily married for 50 years or how in love some couples appear to be? Call it chemistry, call it an instant click, or maybe…just maybe there was something intuitive about these relationships that made them work quite as well as they have.

While most of us desire a better and brighter future, many don't apply the inner wisdom that can lead us to fulfilling life dreams. Either we're too busy, too closed-minded, or just too confused by all the philosophical hype. The good news is that each one of us holds a positive blueprint for ...
