2. WISDOM QUOTES
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"What would you do today if you were brave?" -- Jana Stansfield
"The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be. I believe you can only do this when you stop long enough to hear the whisper you might have drowned out, that small voice compelling you toward the kind of work you'd be willing to do even if you weren't paid. And what do you do once you turn down the noise of your life and heed that call? You face the biggest challenge of all: to have the courage to seek your big dream regardless of what anyone else says or thinks. You are the only person alive who can see your big picture -- and even you can't see it all." - Oprah
"You'll never stand on the mountaintop unless you've stood in the valley." -- Rick Beneteau
"The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love." -- Jack Kornfield
"Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not equipped to handle now. When we face our challenges with faith, prepared to learn, willing to make changes, and if necessary, to let go, we are demanding our power be turned on." -- Iyanla Vanzant

4. THE COURAGE TO LIVE A LIFE YOU LOVE
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
It often strikes me how much courage it requires to follow your intuition. How often have you come up with a wonderful insight, a creative idea or an "outside of the box" plan for success only to have it shot down by naysayers? "You can't do that." "It won't work." "No one has ever done it that way before." These are only a few of the remarks I've heard. The worst part is when the comments originate in your own mind! It's a part of you experiencing a fear of change, arguing against taking a risk.
Intuition is always encouraging you to open up, try something new and be the best you can be. It consistently points the way to success. We all want a sure thing, a guarantee that the risk we take will work out okay. But life isn't like that. It requires that you develop faith and courage so you can grow big enough emotionally and spiritually, to live your dreams. It's not always easy. As Rick Beneteau says in the quote above, "You'll never stand on the mountaintop unless you've stood in the valley."
Here are five ways to help you build your courage.
CHALLENGE ONE FEAR AT A TIME. Most of us get scared because we're overwhelmed by the enormity of the task ahead of us. It's helpful to think of it like a term paper you had to do when you were in school. How can you break it down into smaller, more manageable pieces? Make a to-do list of items that need to be accomplished. You'll feel better as you cross things off that list and see steady advancement toward your goal.
KEEP YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR. What's the worst thing that can happen? Write it out and then make it even worse so it becomes an exercise in the ridiculous. I have a colleague who calls the part of her that is always worrying, "Fearful Freda." She says it helps to think of Freda as a friend who just needs a little compassion and encouragement.
WHAT'S THE BEST THAT CAN HAPPEN? You've dealt with the worst that can happen. Now, what's the best? Use the power of your emotions and your ability to visualize to create a best-case scenario. What picture comes to your mind when you imagine achieving your goal? While focusing on that, add color, texture, sounds and smells to your image. Amplify the positive emotions you feel. In your mind's eye, see and feel encouraging friends around you congratulating you on your success.
MANAGE YOUR SELF-TALK. Try an experiment. Bring to mind a stressful event in your life. Now close your eyes and say the words "I'm so overwhelmed! What can I do?!" several times and with intense feeling. With the same event in mind, say the words, "I'm open to new possibilities." Or "I know I'll be shown the best way out of this situation." How do you feel? Do you notice that the first sentence makes you feel shut down and anxious? The second and third statements probably made you feel open, hopeful and produced an expectation of positive change. Everyone talks to themselves. If your inner dialogue is making you feel bad, change it.
TRUST YOUR INTUITION. There is a part of you connected to Divine Wisdom, All-That-Is (or whatever you call God), that wants you to succeed. By meditating, sitting quietly or going for a calming walk, you can more easily access this Inner Wisdom. Ask your intuition open-ended questions. "What's the best way to heal this relationship?" "What could I do for work that would be fun and profitable?" Listen for the answers. They'll come through feelings, words, physical sensations, symbols, dreams or just a simple knowing. As you begin to listen to your intuition and follow its wisdom, you'll find that all the courage you need is inside you. You just have to ask.

I have been a fan of Esther Hicks for a long time and find her metaphysical messages quite profound. She provides the voice for a practical and reasonable group of spiritually-evolved teachers known as Abraham. Esther and her husband Jerry travel the country, providing weekend seminars where Abraham assists people in applying basic laws of the universe. They have a free newsletter and introductory tape. You can also purchase the taped transcripts of their workshops.

7. THE POWER OF INTENTION:
LEARNING TO CO-CREATE YOUR WORLD YOUR WAY
By Wayne Dyer
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Intention is generally viewed as a pit-bull kind of determination propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. In this view, an attitude that combines hard work with an indefatigable drive toward excellence is the way to succeed. However, intention is viewed very differently in this book. Dyer has researched intention as a force in the universe that allows the act of creation to take place. This book explores intention--not as something you do--but as an energy you're a part of. We're all intended here through the invisible power of intention. This is the first book to look at intention as a field of energy that you can access to begin co-creating your life with the power of intention. It's one of my favorites!
