1. WELCOME
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Dear Intuition Newsletter Subscribers -
I just returned from Camp Experience in Denver, CO. We raised $20,000 for the charity partners and had an enormous amount of fun doing it. I learned to fly fish with Char Bloom (http://www.CharBloom.com). I also met musician, Jana Stanfield (http://www.JanaStanfield.com). She taught us to sing the words to her inspiring songs. My favorites were "If I Were Brave" and "I'm Not Lost, I'm Exploring!"
We also made S'mores over a bonfire and wore sweatshirts that said, "I love nature, just don't get any of it on me." ;-) If that sounds like fun to you, reserve September 26 - 28 for next year!
My new book, "TRUST YOUR GUT: How the Power of Intuition Can Grow Your Business" is due in bookstores in October. You can see the cover and even reserve a copy at http://tinyurl.com/kfm6u/. I'll tell you more about the book in next month's newsletter!
Intuitively yours,
Lynn

2. WISDOM QUOTES
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"The harder you chase something, the faster you go - and the less you're able to let life meet life. If you're having difficulty coming up with new ideas, then slow down ... Creativity exists in the present moment. You can't find it anywhere else." -- Natalie Goldberg
"Like an ability or muscle, hearing your inner wisdom is strengthened by doing it." -- Robert Gass
First, every innovation and great fortune begins as a simple thought. Often it begins as just a whiff of thought, a glimmer or an intuition, a simple, "I wonder what would happen if...." -- Philip Humbert
"A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something." -- Frank Capra

4. DEALING WITH SETBACKS
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"A setback can lead us to a better place -- if we just let it." -- Anne Wilson Schaef
Are you in the midst of a perceived failure? Perhaps you've been laid off from your job, you're on the brink of bankruptcy, or you're going through an acrimonious divorce. While you may wish otherwise, these situations are painful and difficult. They require that we face our deepest fears of inadequacy, lack and failure. It's often during these difficult times that we turn to God and deepen our faith and spiritual connection. Author Paul Brunton states it this way, "When every situation which life can offer is turned to the profit of spiritual growth, no situation can really be a bad one."
Our intuition is connected to a wiser part of us that sees the larger picture of our lives and knows what we need to learn in order to move ahead on our journey in this life. Patience, trust and faith are required after life hands us an unexpected blow. You were not sent here to fail. It may be hard to trust that the Universe knows what it's doing and yet that may be the path of least resistance. You need to go with the flow and know that there is a new and wonderful life for us just waiting to be born.
Tough times never last. When you are experiencing a setback you fear you'll be in it forever. However, generally speaking, most of life's painful disappointments are relatively short-lived. It's important to remember that we all experience failure at one time or another in our lives. As actor Mickey Rooney put it, "You always pass failure on your way to success." Remember also that failure is an event or situation you find yourself in. You're only in danger when you begin describing yourself as the failure.
What are some steps you can take when life has handed you lemons and you haven't yet figured out how to make lemonade?
BE PATIENT. This is a time of change and things need to happen of their own accord. There is little to be gained by trying to speed up the process. If it takes you longer to get where you want to go, there might be a reason for it. It is often hard to figure out the big question, "Why is this happening to me?!" when you're in the middle of the crisis. Allow for Divine wisdom to play a role in your life.
HAVE FUN. When you're out of work, broke and down on your luck, having fun may be at the bottom of your priority list. Nudge it up closer to the top. Come up with a list of inexpensive things you could do to enjoy yourself. There is no virtue in suffering needlessly while you're going through a difficult time.
ASK FOR HELP AND GUIDANCE. If you open up and talk about what you're experiencing, you may be surprised by how many friends you have who want to help. You don't have to go through this alone. But if times are really tough or you feel you may be getting seriously depressed, be sure to talk with a counselor.
BE KIND TO YOURSELF. Now is not the time to beat yourself up for any perceived mistakes, or to wallow in "what I should have done." One of the biggest challenges most experience in the face of failure is knowing how to love ourselves through the process. Keep your heart and mind open. You'll find that insight and wisdom will come through when you most need them to guide you in the right direction.
PRACTICE POSITIVE SELF-TALK. If you're a pessimist, you're likely to spend a lot of time with negative self-talk. "I can't do this." "Nothing works out for me." Or, "I have terrible luck," are all common examples. Whether you're facing an upcoming interview or giving a speech, pay attention to what you're telling yourself! It will make a dramatic difference in how you feel. Make a conscious attempt to shift the focus on any pessimistic thoughts. Try saying things to yourself like, "I know I'll get through this." "What could I do today to stay relaxed?" "There are many things I do well and today I'll stay focused on those."
I'll end with a quote from Richard Carlson who wrote the "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" series of books. "Let go of fear. The universe has an infinite supply of opportunity. There is plenty to go around. You may be surprised to see that something is coming your way right now!"

6. RESOURCES YOU CAN USE
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Need a daily dose of inspiration? Check out http://www.DailyMotivator.com written by Ralph Marston. Today he has the perfect quote to accompany the topic I wrote about above. He begins, "There are no magic pills that can instantly solve your problems. Life is yours to be lived through, not to be skipped over. The difficulties add just as much richness to your experience as the delights. The sadness serves to make the joy that much more magnificent."
Carol Adrienne is the author of the fabulous book, "The Purpose of Your Life." She's also a gifted numerologist. She offers a "Weekly Numerology Forecast" on her site.
