One Million and One Choices
Posted by Intuition Girl
Do you really know what it means to be a winner in life? I am sure you have heard others speak about folks who appear to have it all – a happy marriage, a great home life, a solid career, good friends, a nice home. When you notice that some people have such comfortable lives, does your heart pine to have a similar lifestyle?
It all boils down to the choices that you make in life. Each day, in fact, you make countless decisions of which you do not give a second thought. For example, when you wake up in the morning, take a shower, eat breakfast, drive to work, do your job, go shopping and then come home, you have made six choices already. But it is all the in-between decisions that sometimes have the most impact. The thing about these choices, too, is that there is an underlying reason or purpose as to why you do all the things that you do. What determines your choices, actions, behavior and end results is the motivating factor or drive. What convictions do you have about the life you want to lead? If you are simply going through the daily motions of “living” but not loving life, you may not truly have or achieve the lifestyle you deserve.
To become a winner in life, you must have a winning attitude of gratitude. The more you learn to appreciate the blessings in your life, the greater chances you will reach greatness in everything that touches your life. “I am grateful, but I am simply not going anywhere,” you say? What choices can you make today to jumpstart the road to your individual success? You must take a look at the motivator behind what you do – the seed you have planted to grow your abundance. Is the seed just a withering way to get by and make ends meet, or is the seed being nurtured with a strong and productive strategy to go beyond the average and into the extraordinary life you want to have? Do not “pine about” what you could have. Instead, take action steps. Make every choice count for something. If you are stuck in a dead end job, and you know that it is a dead end job, why are you still there? The same holds true for relationships. If you are in a negative relationship, or if you do not have the love of your life in your life, then what are you doing about the situation to
rectify it? Look at your past, your present and your future. Where have you been, what choices have you made, what choices are you making today, and what choices do you need to actively make to achieve the end results you want? If you are making the same decisions that you have made 10 years ago, isn’t it time you switched strategies?
You have one million and one choices (and beyond) to create a joyful and prosperous life of individual freedom. Plant the seed of success in your heart, your mind, and your spirit. Give it wings to fly by following up on lifestyle-changing choices so you too, can soar to greater heights. Until we speak again, I am

When I Wish upon a Star…
Posted by Intuition Girl
Do you remember a time when you saw a shooting star and you caught yourself making a wish? It’s okay to admit that you have… a lot of us have. And even without a shooting star, we sometimes find ourselves wishing for things that we do not have, for what others may have, and things that we could have had. Quite frankly, it is probably human nature to strive for bigger and better things…
This reminds me of a song that topped the charts back in 1995. Hip hop rapper Skee-Lo debuted with his one-hit wonder, “I wish”. In his song, he talks about how he wishes he was a bit taller, among many other things. The funny part about the lyrics is that the whole song is a big “pity party”. When wishing becomes the greater part of who you are, you begin seeing all the negativity in your life opposed to all the blessings that surround you now. In fact, when you create your own pity party, you can no longer focus on open doors of opportunity. The world becomes too difficult and all that you see is what you cannot have. That is not the way you are intended to live your life.
What is it that you heart desires right now? If it is a relationship, then what are you doing to create and manifest the connection you are seeking? If you are simply wishing for a relationship it is simply not good enough. Words and thoughts without deeds go nowhere. The same applies to the word “try”. For example, “I tried to have a relationship but i
t just didn’t work out.” If you truly “tried”, what was it that you did differently to make things work more effectively and mutually? Make a list of things that you can do right now to create the life you want to lead. After you have crafted your list, you need to follow through on those modifications so that you will not just be trying, but instead, doing.
“When you DO all that you can do to support and manifest the dreams that you have made in your heart and soul, then your wishes can come true.” When you DO what your inner soul truly wants you to do, all the obstacles you see before you become stepping-stones and opportunities for learning and growing. Remember too, dreams and wishes are the heart’s laughing place – a tender spot in your heart that keeps you striving and thriving. Never let go of your heart’s desires – but in order to fulfill them, you have to do more than just try – you simply must do.

Putting Thoughts to Birth
Posted by Intuition Girl
Let’s think about that title for a minute: “Putting thoughts to birth.” How do you put a thought to birth, you ask? Some of you may have watched the film, “Frequency” starring Dennis Quaid. In the film, the main character was somewhat able to travel through time via frequency radio. Each time he did, he was able to change the course of events by communicating future event information to his father. Essentially, he was able to plant the notion of what may come and in doing so, his father was successfully able to thwart negative events from occurring. Of course that was just a Sci-Fi flick, but in reality, if we plant the thought of what we want to see happen, we have the capability to make those things come into fruition. In that same instance, we have the capacity to transform the outcomes that we want to achieve in our not-so-distant futures.
How do we put thoughts to birth? Turning water into wine may take an act of God, but making lemonade out of lemons only takes a little effort if we give it a try. When was the last time you really wanted something so badly that you were willing to do just about anything to get it? I know a lot of you might say that you have, but how many of you have actually acquired that “thing” or that goal that you wanted? If you put your thought to birth, then you successfully planted the seeds of action to manifest your heart’s desires. You must birth your idea to give it the freedom to spread its wings and fly. If you have bottled it up in your mind and allowed it to stay hidden, then it is just that: an idea that has nowhere to grow. It is an unborn thought. What is it that you truly want to change in your life?
A client once asked me, “Joan Marie, you make change happen so effortlessly. What is your secret?” My secret is no secret at all. Change is never easy. In fact, it is one of the most difficult tasks to man. Even if we look at the literal and figurative birth of a thought in relation to an infant, it is a major transition. We go from the comfort of a safe and comfortable space, knowing our surroundings, understanding that we are being cared for, to rapidly having to move forward into an unknown territory. Suddenly, we are having to deal with a whole new set of responsibilities and circumstances. The comfort, however, is knowing that this new territory is a better place – a larger place where we can expand and grow in so many new ways. Life opportunities are unlimited when we are no longer afraid to put our thoughts to birth and go with the flow of change. That is the real secret.
I believe, as should you all, that when you put your thoughts and words to action, dreams can and will become reality. It is never a matter of whether you can or cannot; more so, a matter of whether you truly want to or not.

Once upon a Dream
Posted by Intuition Girl
Imagine running a relay race. The odds are stacked against you but you are fit – mind, body and spirit. Just before the race, your heart is pumping and you are so focused on the goal that you are not going to let anyone or anything deter you. Some of your competition might even be faster than you, but you have the focus and discipline to take the right moves to get to where you need to be. No matter what, you are going to pass that baton and win the race. You are so ready that you can taste the sweetness of victory. Now see yourself running in the race. You are going full stride — the only thing you can hear are the pounding of your feet hitting the earth below you and your breath. Suddenly you trip and fall. What do you do next?
Quitters never win, and winners never quit…
Why is it just when we have our dreams within grasp, we allow small hurdles to stop us from reaching out and grabbing what is rightfully ours? If you have worked hard, laid the foundation for your success, and can see it in the near distance, then you must pursue it. That means you have to pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and keep on going. Keep your heart, mind and spirit focused on the end goal and never allow challenges to spoil the day. When you believe in yourself, anything is possible.
“I just can’t do it”…
Does that sound all too familiar? Do you constantly tell yourself that you just can’t do it? Are you simply “existing” in life or are you embracing every ounce of life with passion and courage? If you are so caught up in the routine of “existence” and nothing else, then for what are you living? There is never a “perfect time” or “perfect place” for dreams to come true. The dreams we perceive in our mind’s eye are the dreams that we must create and manifest in our own realities.
For a moment, I want you to focus on this sentence: ” You are so ready that you can taste the sweetness of victory.” Did you know that you were born ready to succeed? Yes, you are. Do not give in so easily. There is no time like the present time to make good on life’s promise that guarantees you success if you truly want it. Give yourself the room in your life to get back on track to feed that burning fire inside you — the passion to achieve greatness and to lead a joy-filled life. After all, you are the keeper of your dreams. Do not waste those dreams on challenges and feelings of defeat. You must always rise to meet the challenge, overcome it, and win the day. Don’t let a small trip-up to stop you!

Regain your Inner Power
Posted by Intuition Girl
Have you ever strolled along the beach and spied a treasure hunter with his metal detector? It is kind of funny when you think of it. After all, what are the chances that someone will actually find a huge hidden treasure? In fact, more often than not, the treasure seeker may just be lucky enough to find a few priceless coins or perhaps a valuable piece of fine jewelry. I imagine that half the fun is in the searching!
Well, looking for hidden treasure on the seashore is kind of like taking responsibility for where you are right now. You know that deep down inside of you there is a hidden treasure just waiting to be rediscovered. But you repeatedly allow your problems or misfortunes to overpower you and control your life. If you want to take command of the situation and garner real resolve, you must take hold of that inner treasure detector and uncover the courage, wisdom, strength and passion to attain what it is you are seeking in life. Whatever you choose to do, never give up — it is there waiting for you to uncover it.
Some ideas…
- Sometimes it is important for you to find a mentor or role model that you can model yourself after. Who is it that you admire or with whom you feel a certain kinship? Perhaps that individual could be your sister, your uncle, a favorite sports player or a local firefighter.
- You can also ask your guardian angels to support and help you. In doing so, you will not give up so easily.
- Breathe. At times you may become so consumed with your trials that you forget to breathe. Take a deep breath and feel the warmth of the sun flowing in you, through you and into every cell of your body. Now let it all go. Just let all the anger, resentment, fear and anguish pour out of your body like a waterfall. No longer is it damming your energy flow.
- Visualization. Imagine yourself strolling on a beach. The waves are beating oh so slightly against the sand beneath your feet. Feel the wet grains of sand between your toes. Hear the seagulls in the distance. The sky is blue and the only thing between you and the ocean is a gentle breeze that continues to envelop your body. Doesn’t it feel good?
There is no better time than the present moment to recapture your inner power and take back the control from all the challenges that are presenting themselves to you. Just like the tide, events in your life will come and go – how you choose to react to those events is entirely up to you!
