Pride and Joy has two faces
Posted by Intuition Girl
Ironic how we may have all heard that phrase, “pride and joy”; and in some cases employed it ourselves (in reference to something or someone we love and revere). The challenge in having that pride and joy, is it can sometimes get in the way of our own success. We become so attached to a thing, a person or some event in our lives that we do not see any other new opportunities or pathways to progress to the next level.
Pride often begets complacency, which idles our movement. Now, I am not saying you should not have any pride or joy in life. In fact, I encourage you to be proud of who you are and have joy in those things that bring you happiness. What I am also telling you is the recommended dose of anything is always moderation. Remember, just like all things in life, too much of even a good thing is extreme, and can lead to negative consequences. The same holds true for those of you who might say, “I cannot live without so-and-so…” Fact is, if you are living for someone or something else, you are not living for yourself – and that is what you are missing.
Excessive pride can sometimes confine you. Too often, you can get caught up in the whole, “I can’t do this because I may lose this or that,” or “I can’t move there because I will be away from _____________fill in the blank.” There are opportunities in life that beg you to take full advantage, but because you are so focused on someone else or something else, you become paralyzed in the “what if’s” and the “I cant’s”. Do not become that person. Do not rehash all the things that you could potentially “lose” or all the things that may or may not be. Remember, you cannot control external circumstances, but you have the power to choose your destiny. Are you up for the challenge?
Despite what you have been brought up to think or believe, you are still the leader of your life. You have the choice and the power to decide your outcome. If you are holding yourself back because of an overwhelming sense of pride, you need to rethink your actions and behavior. Pride can be like a powerful drug. Once you are addicted to that feeling associated with a person, place or thing, you can easily miss open doors to new and positive opportunities. Do not get caught up in your own web of feelings.
How to get there…
If you are proud of your accomplishments and you enjoy your life just the way it is, then perhaps this message is not for you. But if you are stuck in a repetitive lifestyle and you seem to be going backward or in circles, then heed this: Open your eyes and open your mind. Raise your awareness through meditation or prayer so that you can begin to see the potentiality that exists around you. Know that pride can be an awesome feeling, but it takes a humbling experience to truly see the possibilities that surround you.

Overcoming pain and sorrow
Posted by Intuition Girl
There will be countless times in our lives where we think that we will never, ever recover from the grief and sorrow we feel deep within our hearts and souls. Grief makes us feel like we cannot breathe, like a permanent pit has formed in our bowels and a heavy weight cannot come off of our shoulders. Whether we have lost someone near and dear to us, or perhaps we are grappling with our own physical disabilities or health issues or even disasters from storms, sometime we just cannot seem to overcome all of the challenges. There is a time and a place for healing to begin in all of our live if we are willing to try. It is true that the healing process may not physically bring back those we have lost, nor may it instantly resolve our bodily or emotional scars, but when you believe that anything is possible and that you are in control of your destiny, nothing can stop you from healing your wounds.
Take for example the true story of Marshall University. In 1970, tragedy overtook the college campus and town when 37 young, aspiring football players (a total of 75 people onboard) were all simultaneously killed in a plane crash. One of the takeaways from this National horrific event was that through loss comes strength. The remaining coaches players and community fought through their own emotional wounds to re-emerge like the breaking dawn. When we suffer incredible heartbreak or experience per or grave sickness in our lives, God gives us insurmountable strength, hope and resolve to overcome all things. We must only believe that we have the capacity to endure, accept, rise above, and begin again. There are no other ways around calamity. Fact is that we will all suffer some form of failure or tragedy in our lifetimes, but that does not mean it is the end of the world, It is more like we are preparing for a new revelation that is ready to unfold.
You must believe that all things happen for a reason. There are no right or wrong events, they simply happen—sometimes for no particular reason to even the best and gentlest people on earth. How you react to loss is the most pivotal and life-changing step you can take. Understandably, emotions and feelings of grief are second-nature to mankind. Just like you, I have had my own share of sorrows, but I have a choice to simply survive or choose to thrive. I choose to thrive – to overcome. I know that through my Creator, my Higher Source and the Divine Love and Energy that is provided to me, I can prevail through all circumstance. Remember, There are blessings in all of our lives and maybe this is the time to count the blessings that you are experiencing right now.
Honor yourself, honor those you love, be grateful for every waking moment that you exist in this chasm of the Universe. You are unique and special in every way. Know that even though it may hurt, without our challenging hardships, we could never see or experience the full beauty and blessings that we so often take for granted. We only have one life in which to participate and live. Rejoice for the good times, live for the happy times, and overcome all things so you can create and experience joy in everything you do.
