Following Your Intuition Is Always Right, Especially When It Makes No Sense

<big>I had followed my intution a few times in my life, but the time it became really obvious that my intuitive guidance was “right” was when I made the decision to go to Australia about 10 years ago. Up until the day I decided to go, I’d NEVER wanted to do any such mad thing – I mean, how many shoes can you get in a backpack anyway?

Understandably, all my friends were baffled and worried. Some of them told me I was mad, some tried to talk me out of it – pointing out that I usually manage to lose cinema tickets between the kiosk and the screening room (and excellent point!). I ignored all of it, only able to explain with “I know it’s the right thing to do.”

Did I ever have regrets? A couple of times – usually when I was tired, broke, lonely and being kept awake by other backpackers “getting busy”. Shudder. But apart from those very few moments, this illogical, out of character, strange decision was the best one I ever made. And now, if I ever get intuitive guidance that doesn’t appear to make sense, I pay a lot of attention!

Following that intuitive guidance brings you confidence in yourself, even when it doesn’t ‘work’ like you think it should, the very fact that you trusted yourself enough to take action gives you confidence. It can bring you adventure, fun, joy, love, sunsets over distant oceans, but most of all it brings you LIFE because your intuition will take you where you want to be, it will challenge you (gently if you ask it to!), and it will stretch you…which will make you feel alive.

So, what’s your intution telling you right now?

And God Made Dog

A bit of Friday Fun for you:

And God created dog – The Story of Adam & Eve’s Pets

Adam and Eve said, ‘Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you
love us.’

And God said, ‘I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves.’

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.

And it was a good animal.

And God was pleased.

And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.

And Adam said, ‘Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.’

And God said, ‘I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.’

And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.

And they were comforted

And God was pleased.

And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of
adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well.’

And God said, ‘I will create for them a companion who will be with them and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration..’

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.

And Cat would not obey them.. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat’s eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.

And Adam and Eve learned humility..

And they were greatly improved.

And God was pleased . . .

And Dog was happy. . .

And Cat didn’t give a shit one way or the other…

Happy Friday!!!

You’ll need the following:

1 cup of water
1 cup of sugar
4 large brown eggs
2 cups of dried fruit
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of brown sugar
Lemon juice
Nuts
1 bottle of whisky

Sample the whisky to check for quality. Take a large bowl. Check the whisky again. To be sure it’s the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer, beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar and beat again. Make sure the whisky is still OK.

Cry another tup. Tune up the mixer. Beat two leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Mix on the turner. If the fired druit gets stuck in the beaterers, pry it goose with a drewscriver. Sample the whisky to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Who cares?

Check the whisky. Now sift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Spoon the sugar or something. Whatever you can find. Grease the oven. Turn the cake tin to 350 degrees. Don’t forget to beat off the turner. Throw the bowl out of the window. Check the whisky again and go to bed.

The Art of Receiving

Santa has a box of wealth, health, happiness, love, luck and joy for you to enjoy in 2010. Are you ready to receive it? Put it this way, if you have a hard time accepting a compliment, you might struggle a bit to receive all this good stuff!!!

This Christmas, play with the idea that you do deserve ALL the good things that come your way (and if you are unfortunate enough to receive ‘bad’ things this xmas, you deserve BETTER!). Get ready to receive the wealth, health, happiness, love, luck and joy…

Receiving is an art – the better you are at receiving, the more you will receive. And for YOU to receive all you deserve, you need to be a receptive genius!! So get practicing!

Give Yourself a Christmas Gift

Last year I had a brilliant idea to ask a client to write a list of all the things they have done this year to be proud of, all the fun moments they’ve had, all the moments of joy they can remember, their highlights of the year. Then seal this list in an envelope and open it on christmas day. I did it myself too, and it turned out to be one of my favourite presents!

What a lovely present to yourself, to remind yourself of just how wonderful life is, and has been all year, and how great you are! (Instead of how much you suck and all the rubbish things that happened this year!) So, this weekend, if you’ve got a few minutes to spare, dash off a list of joyful moments, things you’re proud of and have achieved, and give yourself a Christmas gift you will love on Christmas morning!

A Birthday Message from Myself

Among the many good wishes and messages I got on Thursday for my birthday (thank you, by the way if you were one of them!), I also got an e-mail from myself. I set this up a year ago, imagining the message I would like to get from myself in a year’s time. Then I promptly forgot all about it. Let me just share a tiny bit of it with you: “My dearest wish for you is that you will look in the mirror and see what I see – the dearest, most gorgeous, most fabulous woman in the world.”

Aw, aren’t I sweet?! And do you know what? This was one of the most treasured messages I got on my birthday. I was right, I judged it well – the message I sent myself was very well recieved, made me smile, made me laugh and it felt great! If you’d like to send yourself a message into the future, go along to futureme.org – but just do one thing for me – make it a positive, loving message. You do enough criticising yourself on a day to day basis. Make this message something you will feel great about receiving!

What You Should Do By 31st

This was in the Lighten Up newsletter from the Playful Spirit (Lisa) this week. (I’ll share her website when it’s up and running)

1. Make a list of all the things you ’should’ do before the end of this year.

2. Light a match and burn that piece of paper.

3. Make a list of what you WANT to do before the end of the year.

4. Enjoy doing the things you want!

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Love
