Unlocking the Code to your True Self
Posted by Intuition Girl
You do not have to feel like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Realize that you can achieve the success you want in life, but you must first discover your true self. Through this journey, you are able to shape your life into whatever it is you seek.
While you are here on this earth, it is important for you to know that you are equipped with all the necessary navigational tools to survive and thrive. The problem is, however, that you are not always making good use of these tools because you have scattered your energy and cluttered your thinking.
The best approach for a successful and prosperous life almost always includes the most essential ingredients. If you lose one or more along the way or even if you do not realize that you have these ingredients, or believe you are capable of having these ingredients, you will certainly set yourself up for failure. But, once you fully understand that you have had them all along and they are there for the taking, suddenly all things come full circle and you automatically start setting yourself up for success.
When you are willing to open yourself up to unlocking the code that you have kept tucked away in your soul being, you will begin to see and embrace the truth of who you are; and you will also begin using your true self to your own benefit. But isn’t that selfish, you ask? Absolutely NOT! One of the most selfless acts anyone can do is to find the truth within yourself so that you can better your own life, and consequently the lives of others. But how do I do it, you ask? We begin by helping you to discover your true self and teaching you how to steer your inner compass in the direction you want to go.
It is a process. The more you dig beneath the surface of your outer core, the more layers you begin to peel away to find out what ignites the passion and motivation inside you to become a winning leader in your life. As a professional, you have already acquired most of the know-how to get to where you are…but that is not nearly enough to truly create the reality you want. That is why learning how to navigate your journey through your internal compass is key to doing exactly that. You have the power. You are in control. To what level do you want to take your journey in life?

Are you the Perfect Gift to You?
Posted by Intuition Girl
As the holidays are rapidly approaching, many of you may procrastinate until the last minute to buy that special someone the perfect “gift”. But when you think about how much you worry and torment yourself throughout the shopping season, do you ever stop to think about the gift that you are going to give yourself? It is not selfish to want to give yourself something special. For some of you, that may just include the gift of time, the gift of inner peace, the gift of relaxation, the gift of love, or the gift of forgiveness.
To give yourself a piece of you that has been dying to break out of its shell is a wondrous thing. It is liberating, satisfying and most rewarding. It is also one of the most difficult things to do when you are set in your old patterns and behaviors. It is easy to stay on the same old path because you have grown complacent and comfortable in the way you deal with your daily life.
I ask you “Are you the perfect gift to you?” YES, you are! In fact, when you stop and really reflect on what your true heart’s desires are, you begin to understand what you have been missing from your life: the little pieces of you that have been bottled up, packaged away in the recesses of your heart and mind. When you release the anger, the guilt, the sorrow, the shame, the indiscretions, the transgressions, the turmoil…all of it — you are letting go and freeing yourself to the possibilities that have been waiting for you but that have also been hidden from you all this time. You see, when you do not take enough time for yourself, and when you do not give a little bit back to yourself, you are depriving yourself from the potentiality that is often all around you.
Again I ask, “Are you the perfect gift to you?” You bet your bottom dollar you are! Beyond the façade of family, friends, work, and leisure, there is a creative genius inside you. That clever individual has all the right answers and all the right solutions to most of your situations. Do you know who that creative genius is? That’s right, it is your Authentic Soul…the true “you”: the intelligent, talented, amazing person who really just wants you to be true to yourself.
You have the whole world inside you and you have boxed it away for weeks, months, years, maybe even decades. Possibly this year, you will become the perfect gift to you. Perhaps this year, you will find the joy and peace you have been seeking all along. Because this holiday season, when you release that majestic world inside of you, you begin to see and experience the Universe with a new set of eyes.
Until we speak again,
I am, Joan Marie, your Intuition Girl

What are you really messaging?

Stephen Covey, renowned author of the book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, is quoted as saying, “Seek first to understand, then to be understood.” Truer words were never spoken. In fact, it is this type of thinking that a lot of folks are not doing enough nowadays.
Take social media for example. While we may have seen a dramatic upswing in online discussions, we are also beginning to see deterioration in human dialog and empathy. One minute we are reading how a girl just ate a peanut butter sandwich and the next how she was sleeping with a guy for kicks and giggles. How’s that for meaningful conversation?
Now, it is perfectly fine if you choose to broadcast your life online, but remember there are always consequences to your actions and yes, even your words. How you present yourselves to the external world does have its ramifications. No, you do not have to actively choose to live for anyone else, nor must you appease the crowds around you — but it is the company that you attract that may not be in your best interest; nor in the best interest of those that you may be inadvertently or even directly harming with your “messaging” skills; rather, lack thereof.
Covey stated something even more important: “While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions.” You see, even in brief conversation, “messaging” or “texting” — you may be dropping tidbits of personal (sometimes too personal) information about your lives, lifestyles and the lives of others. In doing so, you condemn both yourselves and sometimes others to a smudged reputation. It is not okay to haphazardly toss personal information about your intimate life because when you do, you are ultimately becoming the cog of the rumor mill. Your ill thought actions can negatively and harmfully impact and damage another human being or group of people. The worst part is that when you do so, you often do not realize the repercussions until the havoc has ensued.
Are you willing to be responsible for your words and your actions? What are you doing today to be the best that you can be? If you participate in malice and personal intrusion, you are becoming the problem yourself.
Think before you speak or act. It may mean the difference between a random act of kindness and a random act of cruelty.
Remember this too: anyone that you persecute today may one day have the last laugh on you.
Until we speak again, I am

Are your Goals accompanied with a Consistent Labor of Love?
Posted by Intuition Girl
What actions have you determined are necessities in your life to keep you on track? If you’re pining for the straight and narrow path to success, then you must know that in order to achieve the affluence you so desire, you must love yourself first and be consistent in every one of your efforts. A few questions you must ask yourself are:
1. What is it that I really want in life?
2. How am I going to acquire these wants?
3. How much passion am I going to put behind my goals?
4. What steps do I need to take in order to achieve these goals?
5. How much time am I willing to take to get the things I want?
After you’ve considered these questions, I want you to take out a pen and paper, your laptop keyboard, or whatever else you have at your disposal and begin to jot down ideas and thoughts resolving these questions.
Sometimes, we have to make small sacrifices to create a clear passage to the lives we want to lead. While we might like owning that high-maintenance SUV; the payments might be killing us financially. Or, we’ve put several years’ time into a work position only to stay in the same spot. Are you staying in a negative personal relationship because you’ve become accustomed to arguing? Have you seen the writing on the wall? That doesn’t mean you should allow your vehicle to get repossessed, that you should walk out of your relationship, or just outright quit your job because you’re not going anywhere. What it does mean is that you need to re-evaluate your state of affairs, and start using the tools that are available to you to make the best out of a lagging or negative situation. You are, after all, in control of your emotions and your actions. You cannot control the people around you. But you can control yourself…or better said, you can become the leader of your life.
That being said, you must determine the necessary actions and efforts to keep your life on track. For example, if you are in a “terrible job”, you need to ask yourself if it is in fact the job that is terrible, or is it the feelings that you associate with the job that give it the appearance of being terrible. When you figure that out, that’s when you can decide what path you need to take in order to acquire a better position…or perhaps, become an entrepreneur in your own field to create real value in your life. The same holds true in relationships – both personal and professional. Relationships, just like working positions, take time, sacrifice, effort, labor, love, and communication skills. What are you doing in your life to heighten your potential and efficacy in creating and sustaining healthy bonds? And this is also spot on with professional relationships – how do you view the work you do? Would you “hire you” again? Would you want “you” working for yourself? Think about it. Are you creating your own problems at work?
Beyond work and personal relationships, finances (or lack thereof) often take center stage on the emotional baggage train. Do any of these hypothetical statements apply to you?
“I can’t go to the gym because I can’t afford it.”
“I can’t take a vacation because I don’t have the money.”
“I’d love to take you to that restaurant, but it’s too expensive.”
“How I wish I could buy a house, but times are tough.”
“How can Jim (or fill in the blank) afford such a nice car?”
“I’d like to have children, but I can barely afford to pay my own bills.”
“I’m just not lucky like that other guy.”
More than likely, we’ve all encountered one or more of the above situations. It’s uncomfortable, too. Especially when someone asks you to accompany him (or her) and you begin concocting lame excuses as to why you can’t go. And envy is even worse. No matter how successful we become in life, someone, somewhere is going to have something bigger, better, and more expensive than you. That’s a fact. But, the good news is that you don’t have to “keep up with the Jones.” You just have to keep up with yourself – that’s it. Every action has an equal reaction. For instance, if you have made the active decision to pursue a higher position at work, what must you do to attain it? If you simply “want” the position, and do nothing to acquire it, then you will remain exactly where you are. Wanting something and doing something for that matter are two entirely different means to an end: one is inaction (indecision) and the other is action (decision). How is your supervisor going to know that you want a particular position? She can’t always read your mind. Likewise, if you’ve been performing “just enough” or “not enough” at work, do you really deserve the position?
Do you have what it takes? Yes! Almost every individual has the mental, physical, emotional, and psychological capacity to achieve their hearts’ desires; unfortunately, they don’t always do it because of indecision, inaction, and complacency. We get comfortable in all of our relationships, much like we do in our own tennis shoes. We tend to overlook the holes, the wear and tear, the rips, the shredded laces…because they feel good on our feet and we are accustomed to them. Eventually, our feet get soaked from the mud puddles that we sometimes have to walk through. Even track stars have to change shoes every now and then. Like it or not, we have to toss the old shoes and buy new ones that fit us, and that fit the paths on which we walk. Which path do you choose to walk upon? What sacrifices are you willing to make to create forward motion? What choices are you making for you today to promise a wealthy and happy tomorrow? What do you need to let go of so you can make room for the new experiences to come into your life?
If you’re still not sure how to stay focused and keep your life on track, but are willing to commit yourself to recharging your life and re-energizing your authentic self to become the person you want to be, then I invite you to participate in my upcoming Program so you can learn how to tap into your Intuitive Powers. During these 9 weeks, I’ll teach you how to be self-sustaining and self-empowering. And I’ll show you how to use your intuition and sheer determination to transform your lifestyle into the extraordinary one that I know you can achieve. Make the right choice for your future today!

See the Rainbow in Your Life
Posted by Intuition Girl
Often times, we become so consumed with the misfortunes of life that we fail to see the rainbow that awaits us. When the brisk summer thunderstorm passes overhead, eventually the clouds clear and the brilliant sun begins to peak through… and beyond the sun’s rays and the blue skies dawns the rainbow that seals our bond with the Universal flow of energy. Its splendid array of colors gives us the sacred sign that we are not alone and that there is always a blessing that awaits us.
The rainbow in our life is the promise that our higher source offers us each and every time sorrows rain into our lives. It is the promise that there is yet another blessing surfacing for us to experience.
Have you seen the rainbow in your life? If you have not, you are clearly missing the opportunity for you to start anew. It is that colorful rainbow that allows you to rediscover the joy and love that you may have lost. It allows you to redefine the unique individual you are as you see and feel the signs of hope and new possibilities that await you. It allows you to find the inner peace that, at this moment, you lack.
Metaphorically, your rainbow can be found in nature wherever you may go: It is the bird in the tree, the butterfly perched atop a branch or maybe it circles around your head, it is the breeze whisking through your hair and touching your face, it is the laughter of a child, it is the smile on your grandma’s face, it is the hug from a friend, it is the warmth of the sun, it is the wetness from the rain – because it simply is.
From this day forward, I want you to rediscover the rainbows in your life. I promise that there are many you have missed and it is now time for you to realize that no matter where you go, what you do, who you see, what you encounter… that there is always a new perspective, a fresh beginning, a special bond between you and a higher power that you will survive, you will overcome and you will find happiness and contentment once again. See the rainbow in your life and live your promise today, tomorrow and every day.
Until we speak again, I am
