Mission Impossible
Posted by Intuition Girl
Do you feel like every time you turn around, you are facing mission impossible? Nothing you do seems to work out the way you want it. You appear to be running in circles and you keep having the same situations come up in your life. Does that sound like you? Maybe the proverbial “lit fuse” is you. Perhaps you have become your worst own enemy.
Whether you realize it or not, your actions, behaviors and perception may be hindering your progress in life. When your daily routine becomes mission impossible, you need to rethink and recreate your current lifestyle. “But I don’t do anything differently than other people,” you say? Well, let’s take a look at where you are and the issues you are encountering:
- Is your loved one making you feel miserable?
- Do you see yourself in a dead-end job?
- Are you a hoarder, holding onto way too much clutter in your home?
- Are you afraid to move forward with your goals?
- Are you still trying to live in the past?
- Have you lost track of who you are?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you might just be creating your own mission impossible in life. In order to become whole and happy, you must focus on what is attainable and what makes you feel truly alive. If your relationships with work, your significant other, your health or your friendships are putting a strain on your emotional, mental or physical wellbeing then it is time to reshape your perception on what is working and what is not. If you, yourself, are experiencing emotional barriers that prevent you from being happy and healthy, then you must discover what those emotional blockages are so that you can face them, release them and head them off at the pass.
Your missions in life do not have to become fearful and tedious. Only you have the innate control to overcome any misconceptions or trepidation that you may have in achieving success and true happiness. There is an old affirmation that many individuals use to help maneuver life’s sometimes murky trails:
“Please grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.”
Should you ever feel like your life has taken you on seemingly impossible missions, I want you to stop whatever it is you are doing and take a long, deep breath. Say the affirmation above and lose yourself to the Universal flow of energy. All things will be revealed to you when you are ready to receive them. Once you have, your impossible mission will transform into the blessings and opportunities that you have been missing all along.

Big Courage comes in Small Packages
Posted by Intuition Girl
In Aesop’s Fables, there is a story about a mouse and a lion. As the story goes, a mouse is nearly eaten by a lion but the mouse begs the lion to spare his life as one day he may come to save his. The lion laughed so hard at the little mouse’s pleas that he inadvertently freed the mouse from his claws. Taking advantage of the opportunity to escape, the mouse ran far away. One day, hunter’s nets ensnared the lion and following through on his promise, the little mouse came to the lion’s rescue and freed him from the trappings. There is a lesson to be learned in this story in that big courage can sometimes come in small packages.
When we are teaching our children of such heroism, we offer them examples of how they can sometimes contribute to help others around them by just being thoughtful and tolerant. It is also a lesson in learning how to appropriately use the gifts we are given. We may not always be the biggest or the strongest, but if we learn how to use the gifts we do have, we can often create the desired outcomes that we want.
Exhibiting courage under fire
In life, you will face obstacles that make you feel uncomfortable at best, miserable at worst – how you react to those situations is what will give you the edge in being able to successfully combat and conquer these situations. Remembering the story of the lion and the mouse can offer some consolation, but learning how to proactively take control of your emotions and the reactive feelings that you have when faced with dire consequences will become your best friend. Demonstrating these reactions affront of your children will also show them how to properly react as they grow older and too, are faced with similar circumstances.
This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine!
Even children can let their light shine. They can be taught that the greatest courage comes from the tiniest light within self. It is that inner strength that one possesses that is available to him or her at all times whenever s/he needs it. All one must do is to ask to be brave in order to contend with whatever the challenge is. By instructing heart and soul in how to pool your innate resources to move beyond such obstacles, you will build your resilience and stamina to overcome that, which obstructs. While you may feel small in size, you must understand that your heart and soul hold the power to create the happiness and sense of achievement
throughout the course of your life. When you are ready to take the lead and show your power, I know you will feel a joyful release and a wonderful sense of freedom. You will also discover that you have the power to control your emotions and hold them in check as you move forward in life. No other human being or circumstance has that power or control over you – and when you see that through courage and willpower all things are possible, you will let your light shine and grow in strength and harmony each and every day.
In the end, it is helpful to know that we do not always have to be as mighty as the lion to be brave. We can overcome anything by being witty and committed to take on the world even when things do not seem to be going the way we like. The truth lies within our perception, and the willingness to follow through comes from our persistence and perseverance; of course, a little courage doesn’t hurt.

Are you the Master of your own Disaster?
Posted by Intuition Girl
Are you like a lit fuse waiting to go off at any minute? There are a lot of you out there who may not intentionally wreck havoc on your own lives, but somehow you manage to neglect ongoing problems until they explode beyond your control. This goes for health issues, domestic situations, financial circumstances or personal and professional relationships, among others.
For example, if you discover a small oil leak coming from your car, do you ignore it or would you have it checked to make sure it is not something majorly wrong? The same holds true for little aches and pains that continue to fester until you are so unhealthy that you are unable to perform simple tasks. And in relationships, it is harder still because if there is a problem and you fail to address it head on; you find that the issue winds up becoming much more serious than it could have been had you taken the time to resolve it.
In a perfect world, time, jobs, families, friends and other day-to-day hassles are never a problem. However, none of us live in a perfect world. I know you are all limited by time constraints. You have household duties to attend to, children to care for, jobs that take up long hours of your day, significant others who require your love and affection, yard work, pets…and everything in between. But when you recognize there is a problem, and you choose not to initiate a resolution for it, I guarantee that whatever the problem may be, will grow by leaps and bounds.
Of course there are other little crises you may craft by telling a modest lie. Maybe you thought it was a good idea at the time, but by the time the lie comes full circle, what hole have you dug for yourself? There is truth in the old adage that says, “What a tangled web we weave when at first we practice to deceive.”
In order to stop being the maker of your own mischief, at all times take the initiative to reflect on the issue (or issues) at hand. Ask yourself if it is something that could have serious repercussions. It is also always wise to plan ahead for unforeseen events – meaning that before you act or speak, know ahead of time what your actions or words can and will do. If you have to think twice about it, it is probably not a good idea to say or do it. If it is something that continues to weigh heavy on your heart, it is presumably not in your best interest. Remember, your actions, thoughts and deeds are a reflection of who you are. Only you have the vision and choice to direct your present and your future. When you understand that you are guiding your outcome, then only will you cease the destruction that you have been creating for yourself.

Clarity It does a Body good

“How smart or dumb you are depends on where you’re standing,” said Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit. We do not always have the ability to think clearly or understandingly. In fact, it would be unfair to analyze others when we ourselves do not have a stable and harmonious balance in our own lives.
Remember, our own life experiences are not nearly as wide as we think they may be and do not mirror every individual around us. Not all (of us) can understand what or how something is affecting another if we are not standing in that individual’s shoes; primarily because we come from different backgrounds, different cultures and different lifestyles. We mirror each other only in that we breathe, live, love and coexist. We can only find clarity in what is happening in our own lives and how we are being affected by our own choices.
If you are clear in mind, body and spirit, you can begin to not only see the bigger picture for yourself but for those around you and in the environment which you share. Ever heard that phrase how one man’s trash is another’s treasure? Or, in another case, how one man’s loss is another man’s gain? We cannot always see eye to eye on all issues, but when we start to clean up our own backyards, then we can work together to salvage and bring balance to all of our relationships. Think of your mind as a window. When you pull up the shades on the panes, you shed light on all that is around you. You are able to see all the areas that need clearing, cleaning, and dusting. You are also able to see all the beauty that surrounds you. Having an open mind (or an open window) to the world around you gives you a sense of heightened awareness that makes things brighter, lighter and injects insight into the darkness (or the sorrows of your mind).
Having clarity and vision are gifts that are not only enlightening, but powerfully useful when exploring your dreams, communicating your goals, and achieving them. Let the light shine through the panes of your mind so that you too, can begin to truly understand how the flow of Universal energy works in your life.

Stop Reading between the Lines!
Posted by Intuition Girl
It’s the writing on the wall that we often do not wish to see – especially when it comes to relationships. When you have held onto a relationship with certain people, behaviors, material things or emotions for a long time, you become comfortable and complacent – even if the relationship is no longer warranted, harmful or desirable. You must admit that when you continue to stay in these situations that you are reading between the lines, seeing a mirage of a vague hope for a miracle or a change – but not the actual “writing on the wall”. It’s the in-between lines that keep you hostage. Are you sitting perched upon your wall oblivious to what is actually happening in your life? Why? Is it because you feel that you do not deserve better or that you cannot do any better than where you are?
To move forward in life, you must remove the blinders from your eyes. Look at what is right before you. You must stop placing the person or situation in your life on a pedestal. Remember, you must first love yourself in order to share that love with others. It is not selfish to step back from a relationship to get a bird’s eye view of the actuality of it. When you begin understanding what the writing is literally speaking to you, you can say, “no more.”
There is an old adage that says, “If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it’s yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be.” That is the way you must shape your mind and your heart. I know it’s difficult sometimes separating the two. They sort of melt together and 
get mixed up along the way. You do not have to “fall out” of love in a relationship, but you must learn to “fall in” love with yourself so that you can recognize what is healthy and helpful in your life and what is unhealthy and harmful to you.
You are a remarkable individual, perfect and beautiful in every single way. This is how the Higher Power created you. This is not a revelation; this knowledge has been with you all along. Read the writing on the wall. Listen to what your gut feeling is telling you. Look at the relationship from all sides. Ask yourself, “Is this relationship helping me or is it hurting me?” Once you stop seeing your own misconceptions and start seeing the reality and the truth of the matter, you will be free from your self-imposed captivity.
