"Imagine that your inklings are God's whispers to you - the same God that gave you the idea will give you the means and support to see it through. Then every act that springs from your joyful vision will become a prayer that will bless the world forever." -- Alan Cohen
"We may miss a great deal of joy because we expect it to be unusual, dramatic, and spectacular. We are waiting for lights to flash and bells to ring. But the truth is that joy is here, right now, waiting for us to notice it." -- Veronica Ray
"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." -- Fr. Alfred D'Souza
"Difficulties are opportunities to better things; they are stepping stones to greater experience." -- Brian Adams

5. USING YOUR INTUITION AT WORK
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
In today's fast-paced environment, decisions need to be made swiftly and accurately. While many top executives won't publicize it, intuition is a key part of their decision-making success. Once thought of as the domain of the "gifted few," it is, in fact, readily available to us all. Intuition can be an important factor in making hiring decisions, motivating staff, increasing sales, assessing partnerships and predicting industry trends.
1. MAKE YOUR INTUITION YOUR ALLY
Everyone receives intuitive information. It's a skill, and the more you practice it the better you get at it. How does your intuition speak to you? Do you receive information in words, feelings, a flash of insight, a body sensation? Do you just know? Intuition is the secret weapon of many successful leaders. They describe it as knowing something directly without going through a long analytical process.
2. ASK QUESTIONS
What information do you need to know? Ask your intuition questions such as: "Should I hire this person for the job?" "What can I do to increase my earnings this year?" "What could I do to get along better with a co-worker?" Pay attention to the answers and act on the information you receive.
3. WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?
We are often quite clear about what we don't want. The path to success comes from spending time thinking about what you do want. What does your ideal life look like? Being clear about what you want is often the first step in being able to create it. Your intuition can help you achieve success when you know where you want to go.
4. SLOW DOWN
Valuable intuitive wisdom often comes when you are relaxed and open to receiving it. When you need help making a decision - pause -- take a deep breath, reflect on the question and allow the intuitive impressions to come to you. Intuition is often described as "still and quiet." It doesn't usually answer in a big, booming voice. It is much subtler. Pay attention to any images you receive, words you hear, physical sensations you experience or emotions you feel. These are all ways that intuition will communicate with you. Write down any impressions you receive. Some people find that intuitive insights will pop into their mind immediately. For others, it may come later in the day when they least expect it.
5. CREATE POSITIVE SELF TALK
Pay attention to what you tell yourself about you and your life. If the general tone is hopeful and positive you generally feel better and more optimistic. It's easier to receive intuitive information when you give yourself affirmative messages.
6. WHAT ARE YOU ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT?
Intuition often communicates its message simply through passion and excitement. If a plan of action or decision leaves you feeling drained, bored or enervated, that's a clear message saying, "Don't go there." Conversely, if you feel energized and enthusiastic, your intuition is giving you the green light.
7. TAKE ACTION
People often get stuck because they can't figure out how to get from Point A to Point Z. What is one thing you could do that would be a next step that would take you to Point B? Take a class, talk to a friend, read a book on a topic of interest, learn a new skill. Take action on what feels exciting to you. That's putting your intuition into action.
8. GO WITH YOUR GUT!
Instinct, gut-feeling, "I just knew I should...," "I had a sour taste in my mouth about...." These are all ways people have found to describe intuitive information. Physical signals are clues that can help you with decision making. Bottom line -- if it feels bad, don't do it!
9. WRITE IT DOWN
Many people have great success receiving intuitive information through writing. This technique is similar to brainstorming. Write a series of questions about your choices. Suppose you have to make a decision to fill a position in your company. You might write, "If I hire Mary will the company's sales increase?" "If I hire her will this be a positive choice?" "What are her strengths?" "What are her weaknesses?" When you've completed your questions, write the answers quickly just as they come to you. Repeat the questions and answers with each potential employee and then assess your answers.
10. ENVISION!
Spend time each day imagining your ideal life. Envision the details of that life. Imagine you are living it now. What are you wearing? What are you feeling? Who are the people around you? Make it real. Like any skill, the more you practice, the better you'll get. Make the time to routinely check in with your intuition and you will be rewarded with faster, stronger and more accurate insight. The benefit? You'll be on the path to a richly rewarding and successful life.

7. PROSPERITY PRAYER
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
I mentioned in April's newsletter that I've written a "Prosperity Prayer" as part of a new book. I've used it myself, shared it with some clients and a few friends and we've all had some amazing results. Money, ideas and opportunities seem to come miraculously after saying the prayer for a few days to a few weeks. Rather than have you wait for a year or more before the book comes out, I decided to make it available now. If you'd like to have a copy, send an E-mail to ProsperityPrayer@LynnRobinson.com. You'll receive it by auto-responder. The full text of the prayer chapter is available at my Web site http://www.LynnRobinson.com. Click on "articles."

Many of you have already taken to the time to write me with your stories. Thank you! Here's a sample (edited by me) of what you're sending.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"I interviewed about a month ago for a job that I REALLY want. About three weeks later I heard from the company's HR person who told me they didn't want to keep me hanging, and they would make a decision by the end of the week.
That Friday afternoon I was telling myself to stay positive; that just because they are making a decision this week doesn't mean I'll hear from them today.
I began to say the prosperity prayer. I know you are supposed to say it three times per day, but I said it three times in a row. Within 5 minutes the company that I wanted to work for called to tell me I had the job! Spooky? Superstitious? I don't care - it worked!"

Jody Seidler, a single mother with a sense of humor and a sense of purpose, created MakingLemonade.com. It has become the leading one-stop-place for single parents on the Internet since 1997. Jody, divorced when Sam was 4, didn't find much when she searched for online community support, so she created her own web page. "A Day in the Life of a Single Mother" was so successful, it further evolved into Making Lemonade, a sophisticated site that offers links to single parenting resources, bulletin boards, poetry, stories, email chat groups, and a semi-monthly newsletter.
