Why do people want to seek psychics? Because we think they are super beings who are able to tell the future? My take. We, including me, seek psychics because it is to help you to plan your possible road map ahead. If you can trust in yourself that you have done the right job in screening the psychic so you can get the most out of the reading then you have to let go and trust in yourself that is what you need to hear at this moment.

As such ,we ought to be open to the possibilities and are one step closer to helping yourself because you are open to hearing what you need to hear to make the change
to heal the past. So the conclusion is that some psychics can and do tell the future and many are accurate with the help of the spirit guides..

Life can be really miserable if there is a lack of confidence. If you recall back about the string of opportunities that came along but you lacked the confidence to go for it, life could look pretty uninspiring.

For example, when I was 20, I wanted to be a football player, yet I thought i was too small framed and at 20, it was rather "old" when most of the guys started in 16 or 17. Hence I turned down chances to play the game, even as a Sunday park player. Times fly and I've become another armchair critic all these years. I guess I just lack the confidence at that time.

So, please..if you want to do something, do it now, with confidence. Do not waste another minute of your precious life.

I think that being confident is all in your mind. If you think you can do it, the urge to complete will be so overwhelming that you think you can. As a result, confidence will come and now you dare to think it big. It's all in your mind, like Maria Duval says all the time.

Mental conditioning by affirmation is also an useful way to recharge your sapped confidence. Repeat a few times per day for months ahead with sentences like "If I believe in my own ability, nothing is impossible" and etc...Better still, listen to some inspirational recordings will do some wonders.

You live the life that you believe to be true about yourself. So program your mind to believe that you are confident and you will improve your confidence levels.

I believe that faith is about doing our best to BELIEVE in a decision to embark or trust on something. Creating a good fortune is well within your reach, provided you make a conscious decision to change your perception of chance. Really?

To me, chance is something or an excuse which we answer ourselves questions which are not logically explained. Maria tells me what does exist is the irrefutable fact regarding the cosmic principles.

These are the principles or laws that govern the world and control the development of the Universe. It is sad that many people do not know these laws and hence failing to grasp good fortune that passes by.

Since you know know that chances does not exist in the generally accepted sense of the term, you will be able to channel it in the direction that suits your best interests, i.e. in the direction of good fortune, happiness and abundance.

Even in the most difficult events when you are feeling powerless, you can always seek the help from your "Inner Guide", or your Soul, the superior part of each human being.

Psychic Maria Duval can impart your knowledge on how to do that, but my point is, whatever the external circumstances, never doubt your "Inner Guide". Remember the path to abundance is never completely obstructed. There is always an invisible way through that you may not suspect.

The one thing that all self-made successful people have in common is this: they have the mindset that success cannot happen without belief. No doubt you've heard many people, when asked how they achieved success, say something like "You can do anything you set your mind to."

That is a summation for an entire process that takes place en route to success.

The first step in that process is "belief": Belief in what you're doing and also belief in yourself. Those that believe strongly enough in their mission always find a way to achieve it. Often times they even have more faith in the mission at hand than they do in themselves.

On the other hand, those with great self confidence and a strong belief in themselves are able to take on most any type of challenge. Perhaps the greatest gift a parent or any mentor can give to a child is the gift of self esteem.

It's through belief that action occurs. Procrastination tends to prevail when people are uncomfortable with what needs done. Belief allows them to overcome that mental struggle and to perform with confidence.

There are many reasons for this. Belief tends to lead to passion. Passion leads to detail. And detail leads to proper planning. The more detailed someone is about what they're doing the more likely they will do it well.

It's often been said that a goal without a plan is really just a dream. Those that get things done successfully compared to those that don't are able to turn their dreams into reality because they have the belief and detailed plan to do so.

When your actions are taken with confidence you certainly create a greater probability that the end results will be positive. Those around you feed off your positive energy which contributes even more to success.

But it doesn't end there. To ensure that you haven't strayed from the plan of action there needs to be some form of evaluation performed along the way.

Evaluation is done through follow up and feedback. They are integral aspects to success. It you're not doing something correctly, you need to know so you can make the necessary changes.

But if you are on the right path to success you also need to have that affirmed. An evaluation of accomplishment will determine that.

For an evaluation to be effective it must look at both the positive achievements and the areas needing improvement. When you approach the evaluation stage in this fashion you are more likely to have an open mind about this process.

After you are done with this step your evaluation will lead to an even higher belief. You've determined changes needing made in your direction (if any) and will continue the process of visualization, belief in what you're doing and planning for success.

So many people are asking why the country of Haiti was so devastated by an earthquake on January 12, 2010. We are always questioning these acts of nature and many people wonder how there can be a God who allows so much destruction, death, and unhappiness. I went into deep meditation over this because so many people have been asking this question and here is what I have received.

It gives people an opportunity to show their true humanitarianism by giving freely of their money, time and energy to such an impoverished country. Throughout the beginning of mankind the message has been to show love and kindness to everyone you meet. Yet, we go about our lives forgetting this message on a daily basis. Perhaps we are angry with the driver who cut us off on the freeway, family, spouse, children or friends. We do not stop to take the time to realize that they are going through their own personal traumas and we forget about showing little acts of kindness.



So to remind us that we are to be kind and compassionate God allows something huge to happen to wake us up to the fact that we all inhabit this planet, and we all breathe the same air, and we all love our children. People have been feeling more emotions this past week than they had in quite some time. Continue your prayers for the people of Haiti who are suffering and just needing the bare necessities.

Those that perished in the Earthquake are free from the concerns of our world and are now living in the presence of the Divine Light of God. The problem is for those left behind; it is hard for them to deal with the death of a loved one or friend and to see their country destroyed. Right now they are just concerned about getting food and water. It takes you to the very foundation of our existence (survival) when you are faced with such a calamity. They're not concerned about work, status or what they are going to do for entertainment. This is what brings out your humanity. You realize this could happen to you. If we could live in this aware state constantly we could change the world into a different place then it is right now.

Many times as a spiritual advisor I have delivered the message that we should show love in just simple acts such as a smile to a stranger. You have no idea what that person maybe going through in that moment and your smile could mean a great deal and change the way they feel.

Look around in your own city and you will see there are many impoverished people who are living in their cars or on the streets. Think of ways you can help those in your immediate area. They are crying out in silent desperation. Let us open our spirits and souls to be able to hear these silent cries. When you can hear the silent cries you are closer to The Divine than ever before.

So remember the acts of nature that come about are God's ways of making us more humane. Practice your humanity with every person you meet daily. Truly look into their faces and see what may be hiding behind them and to send a silent prayer for those you do not know as you pass them in the supermarket, shopping malls or on the streets.

Put action to your prayers and do what you can to help your fellow human passing through your life.

God bless and help all the people in Haiti right now. Thank you Heavenly Father, Amen.

There are some people who believe that psychics are born and others who believe that they develop a sixth sense. There has always been a fascination with knowing what the future holds and whether there is a life after death. There are some people who even question whether paranormal activity actually exists. There is much controversy surrounding this subject and as yet extra sensory perception has not been scientifically proven.

There are many famous medium, clairvoyants and the like who attribute their gifts to ancestral lines and believe that their gifts have been passed on to them from a relative. It is not clear whether this is for genetic reasons or because this was a trade of the relative which they passed down through the family lines.



It can take some time before a person realises that they have intuitive, telepathic or clairvoyant ability as often the experience is put down to coincidence. There are others who are too afraid to confront the issues and this is quite often the case for people who have premonitions.

A psychic has the ability to see beyond the normal five senses and this extra perception is not recognised in mainstream education. The concept of extra sensory ability attracts a great deal of controversy since this is something that has not been scientifically proven. There are countless encounters and stories and revelations which remain unexplained which would seem to back up the existence of the paranormal. The mainstream school of thought leans towards the scientific approach to life and perhaps this could have some influence on our ability to develop the sixth sense.

Perhaps the psychic ability resides in the side of the brain that is artistic, musical and creative. It could be possible therefore, that as we develop our education we learn to make the most of our logical processes on the other side of the brain. The side where psychic ability could exist is not developed and is dormant until we tap into this potential. We hear of musicians, poets and artists having talents and perhaps psychic ability is a latent talent within all of us.

You could say you are psychic when you receive information or knowledge which gives you insight into a past, present or future event. Perhaps you sense that there is a presence around you and you know that you are being helped by a being from another dimension. Your intuition is strong and you could even form a telepathic link with someone and have the ability to know what they are thinking. You may know when the phone rings who the person on the end of the phone is going to be. You could look at someone and receive information about that person.

What is mindset?

Well Mindset is nothing but congruence between beliefs, feelings, thoughts and performance. Different people have different mindsets based on their background and upbringing. In order to be successful in life a positive mindset is the basic requirement of all.

Having a positive mindset can be backed by various benefits linked to increasing the value and efficiency of life along with a boost to the immune system. A better efficiency can further be associated with better feelings, performance, health, optimism and productivity of life in general.

It is well said that a positive mindset attracts wealth and success along with concurring individuals. The difference between the choices made by successful and not-so successful people is the key link to success. Therefore, conditioning of minds can be the first step towards success for which the identification of the area of mindset to be reinforced must be undertaken. This may involve compensating negative thoughts with positive stances, as a positive mindset has the potential to accomplish anything.

The mind is classified into, The Conscious Mind and the Unconscious Mind, of which the conscious minds refers to the intellect part of making choices as compared to the unconscious mind, which is associated with the most fervent beliefs and desires.

The Benefits Of Having A Positive Mindset:

The benefits of having a positive mindset can be linked to running Successful Business Ventures, or even if its regarding any day-to-day activities, like getting out of bed, to brushing your teeth, washing, eating, shopping etc. The positive mindset is pushed by a desire to move in the direction of an opportunity and to take steps which are necessary for success. For which, single-minded quests and disallowing spread of negative thoughts is very vital to achieve your goals.

Dictations about beliefs and feelings from other people and circumstance must be shunned. In other words, the control and the power of confirmation allowed to external events and people to reflect upon the individuals inner feelings must be watched over.

Fear or lack of confidence which may get in the way of success must be replaced with a stronger mindset and feeling of worthiness which leads to a higher degree of confidence and an ability to face fears.

The following can be applied to develop a positive mindset:

• Success stories - searching and modeling them
• Developing association with a successful mentor
• Practicing positive statements
• Developing network of people with positive attitude

Therefore, a positive mindset can lead to a bucket full of opportunities for individual and monetary growth at every turn, leading to a Successful path in life.

Warmest Regards & Best Wishes

Oh dear, its freezingly cold! The mercury is at the range of 10F to 20F which is something amazing. They talk about global warming but here we have a crazy freezing weather.

Although it is very cold outsude, i wish to say something warm in our heart which is hatred and love.

In my opinion, hatred is one of the most powerful negative emotions and every normal human being has some level of hatred inside. It is not possible for anyone not to have hatred, which comes naturally as physical feel like hunger or lust.

Maybe you dislike or hate that someone in your office, or one of the arrogant college school mates. Beware that intense hatred can lead to crimes and tragedies. It can build up and consume you with such negative energy that when you do send this out to the Universe, what do you think you are going to receive in return? More hatred!

So start 2010 with lots of love and kindness. Make your life beautiful.

The power of gratitude is using the Law of Attraction to focus on what we have rather than what we don't have. Now I finally understood what counting your blessings mean because being thankful for what you have will bring back more to your life but the Law of Attraction doesn't only teach us to be grateful for what we have, we can also be grateful for the things even if they're not there and they will manifest into our reality. That's an added bonus.

I have also learned the connection between abundance or wealth and gratitude that's why many wealth experts suggest that if you want to be wealthy you should focus on being grateful because you will feel wealthy already and attract abundance into your life. I have also learned from experience that there are effective ways to practice gratitude to supercharge manifestations into your reality.



Having tried this myself I can say that being grateful not only for the material things that I have but also for the material things that I don't have is not enough because only after I was able to be grateful for the things around me, my life, my problems, challenges, hardships, mistakes, consciousness, ideas, freedom of choice, my thoughts and emotions, was I able to accumulate the wisdom and meaning of being grateful.

I have undergone 4 major surgeries in the past, two of them were life threatening I must say and I survived them all with flying colors because I believed that it was not my time to go. I may have been through bad times and I may not be rich but I can say that I have achieved in my own little way the things that I desire and deserved but that was nothing compared to the many chances in life that was given to me that when I wake up every morning I always say thank you that I did. And this kind of gratitude was able to sustain me with the good health I created in my reality.

I root my gratitude in something permanent that's why it became a permanent thing for me and became part of my identity. I was able to attract circumstances that resonate who I am and my gratitude is unconditional because I'm grateful for everything in my life and I was able to attract circumstances that matched those thoughts and feelings.

In this busy and hectic world, each of us could be spiritually hurt as we traverse the daily course of making a living. That's why we need to have spiritual healing to heal our wounded soul inside us. Maria Duval says this is something that will help you move on and grow into a better and more mature individual.

Even if you are a highly successful and happy person, there is still something inside you are feeling lacked of. It doesn't matter how many zeros you have in your bank account, you'd still feel there is a last piece of puzzle yet to be found. Spiritual healing could help you unravel this piece of mystery.

Sometimes we could be hurt in life and we remember this bad experience for a long time and unable to get over it. Through healing your soul spiritually, you accept what the past has taught you and how you can let go and move on.

Wish you have a very Merry Christmas!

The power of clairvoyance is to be able to "see" the unseen future events and awareness of the future. I read that humans do have some basic naturally clairvoyant ability that hones us for survival.

Clairvoyant psychics like Maria Duval often categorize their abilities depending upon their particular extra sensory ability.

For example, if a psychic has an ability to hear more clearly, this would be called clairaudience.

The ability to see more clearly, clairvoyance.

And the ability to think more clearly, clairsentience.

As you can see, these are basically the extra-sensory versions of the basic five physical senses.

Wrapping up this post, I think everyone is psychic to some degree, using the natural intuition or sixth sense that is inherent in all of us. I guess that's a main reason why humans have dominated this planet over other living things.

When we show joyful behaviour, we emit high vibration and when it happens enough, our desires are easily given to us.

So now you may be thinking what is the easiest way to feel joyful?

According to Maria Duval, the fastest way is to learn to be appreciative, and that is to get into the habit of appreciating everyone and everything.

Actively look for the good and see the positive side of everything. When you focus on the good, your good will grow. Try to be pals of natural high positive people. They exude a natural charm that raises the energy level of people around you.

Joy is such a simple yet powerful vibration. Simply the fact you are alive and breathing is reason enough for celebration. Another great quote from Maria is: it's alright not to fee joyful all the time. But it's important not to dwell in pity states for too long.

So, please get into the habit of daily appreciation and gratitude. The more you appreciate the more things you will find to appreciate

Maria Duval says that when you can understand and accept where you are now in your life, then you can then change it. It's not very constructive or helpful to point the finger of blame at others or you own "bad fortune".

It's time to go within and take responsibility for everything and everyone in your life. After all everyone and everything in your life has one thing in common. You.

Maria Duval reminds me that awareness is the first step to changing something you are unhappy about. Just focus on one area at a time.

You must also realize that change takes time. Some things can and do change quickly but other things take longer. A bit of patience is in order. It's very unusual to change from a minimum wage salary into a millionaire overnight.

You can however work on changing the future immediately. Slimming down a size or two is not going to happen in a week. But without eating and exercising properly you will never achieve your goal. So do all you can each day to support the change you want to implement in your life.

The trick is to concentrate on all the good things that you have achieved in your life. Focusing on the lack and moaning about what isn't there is not helpful. This will only lower your vibration. And go and attract more people and things for you to complain about.

The wonderful thing is, when you are truly satisfied and grateful for what you do have more of these good things will be attracted into your life.

Life does not appear so simple, does it?

Our lives can appear to always be so tangled up with home, work, job or friends. And also in our leisurely pursuits, in our play. We can lose ourselves in all these pursuits and life becomes rather foggy.

Many times we find that we must win, we dare not lose. And that puts added pressure upon us. In this stressful situation our intuitive qualities that unleash our true power remain closed to us.

We have our talents fueled by our own motivation. Our confidence in our own strengths lends us much support in our ventures. Our discipline and behavior come from our positive demeanor and the way we feel about ourselves. We look after ourselves and this is evident in our healthy self esteem and self image. All in all a lot our lives are determined by our own attitudes and how we handle the precious commodity we call life on a day to day basis.

Yet how strong this makes us there can still be something missing. Something that if not drawn upon will place a ceiling on our life, our experience and our potential. Something we should never forget. Never leave untapped. Never leave alone.

Maria Duval tells me that our spark of life, that true power within, is on one of life’s greatest gifts. Experience that. Use it to realize your full potential. Fulfill your life. Live from that and see how our life can blossom as we move forward to claim our rightful place in life.

Probably you may have heard this saying that a person's mind is powerful. You can say that it's like a gun. Both are very useful and have their purpose, however, there are times an individual may not really realize or understand exactly how powerful each of these possessions can be. The mind or a gun can each be used either for the right or the wrong. It just all depends who is using them.

So do you want a stronger "gun" now? Here's how you could do it:

A basic mindfulness exercise starts with sitting down, relaxing and breathing deeply through your nose. Close your eyes and be aware of your breath going in and out. After a minute, move your attention to your body, one part at a time, noting sensations of cold, hot, tight, sore and anything else you identify. In a few minutes, start listening to sounds in the room, without thinking about them. Just listen.

When it feels right, open your eyes and look around as if you are seeing for the first time. Rest your eyes on an object for half a minute, examining it without talking about it in your mind. Then move to another object, and another, while still maintaining an awareness of your body, your breathing, and any sounds. Stay in this state of mindfulness until you are ready to get up.

Being aware of your body, breath and immediate enviroment, puts you more fully "in the moment." Your mind is in a very receptive state, with fewer mental distractions that prevent clear thinking. Doing a mindfulness exercise before important mental tasks will give you greater mind power, specifically more focus and concentration.

Thanks Maria!

Devote for a creditable reason and I am sure all of us will be blessed in return with a sumptuous amount of happiness.

Is that right a smile or a good reaction makes you feeling cheerful and important?

Personally the idea is that there is really not many things that are more valuable than I myself feel good when receiving love and esteem of others. We all are upbeat when looking at a smiling face.

Try out some hours in the weekend doing Psome volunteering works which you can utilize your ability and endowment to produce good service. That's one great way to reciprocate what society has done good for you.

When you know you are dedicating your all to a beautiful deed for a better life, and you get back the fulfillment in your heart, you will feel like you are creating more power in your physical, mental and soul sides.

One of the things that we most desire in this world is to be loved.

From a very young age, we are conditioned to believe that finding that perfect mate will greatly enhance our life and make us happy. Can the Law of Attraction be used to draw that perfect union to us that we so desire?
Well of course it can. But before Maria Duval explains more, it’s important that she qualifies some expectations regarding finding love.

First and foremost, contrary to what most of us have been led to believe, finding love does not make us happy. There is no such thing as “finding” love. We are love and love exists within us effortlessly.

The only love that truly brings us happiness is not found “out there” in another human. That love exists right inside of us.

This important key is unfortunately what keeps us from truly finding that special person to share our lives with. People are looking for someone to complete them, fix the, make them whole, make them feel special, and make them happy.

The reality is, if you don’t already feel those things on your own then therein lies the problem. No one is meant to complete another. We have to come to the table already whole.

The goal of a successful relationship is two whole people coming together and enhancing each others’ lives.

What is the meaning of "inspired" really? Maria Duval explains it is to cause someone to feel motivated to drive them further in their area of passion.

Eastern spirituality believes that there are two forces, the yin and the yang, which means, the "dark" and the "bright" respectively, the "negative" and the "positive".

Yes, to live balanced and well, these two opposite forces must coexist harmoniously.

Maria Duval unfortunately agrees that it is mostly the yin force which always seems to dominate over the yang force. This is caused by a programmed mind ingrained by society doctrines since young. Also, most of us have a lazy mind which simply resists changes. This is not the way we were meant to be as e are creatorswe are in charge of our own destiny, and we are commanded by the forces of the universe to be the best we can.

Why should we allow negativity live rent free in our mind. Kick it out and allow the power of the universe to enter your life and you will see positive changes instantly.

In the end, you will become a more complete person that takes charge of own destiny.

Be inspired.

Maria Duval's ways to grow your sixth sense or intuition:

1. Begin to pay notice to the little voices at the back of your mind. Do not discredit these little voices straight. Give them some attention.

2. If you listen to these little voices, record them daily how many of them were proven right later on.

3. Keep a meditating daily. It will make you more attentive to the little voices.

4. Continue to fire up your imagination and visualization. The ample use of right brain will make you more intuitive.

5. Hang around other people who are intent on developing their intuition. You will learn faster when you can share your experiences with others.

6. Allow the flow of psychic energy through your body. Eating right and exercising will help keep your body in balance.

The economy has not really recovered despite many good economic reports. People are still guessing and wondering what are ahead in the next few months or next year.

This will surely lead to more stresses in life as people could be holding back their spending thus curtailing more possible growth in this fragile economy.

Problems like increased stress, fatigue, disharmony, loss of wealth and jobs. That's why it is even more important to adopt a positive attitude if you feel things are not going for you.

I feel it's important to stay positive, and keep a glass is half full mentality. This is true across the board, no matter which line you are earning a living on.

Yes, its even more important to keep the morale high and staying positive is even more crucial then ever. Be a leader among your friends or colleagues and they will look up to you.

If you have lost your job, it's very common to feel helpless and even depressed. This is normal, but it's important that you don't let these feelings affect your efforts to find a new source of income. Letting yourself spiral into a state of depression will only make it harder to get back on top.

If you find yourself struggling to stay positive, another way to help remove some of the stress is to stop watching the news. I admit there are many doom predictors in the media, especially in finance media like CNBC. What they say have a very big impact in our thoughts as we perceive them to be experts. Turn the telly off when you are feeling down.

Our life and destiny are like some spider cobweb, joined delicately from uncountable number of thoughts, experience, and chapters that uniquely represent our lives from young to old. The growing up years, schools, adulthoods, friends, family and old age.

There is also a red trail in our life and it is the fate of our ancestors whether we know it or not. How our children will be like in their deeds is also shaped by what we do in this life. Maria Duval writes to me that both positive and negative events in our lives are unconsciously stored at somewhere mysterious in us as "Karma".

There is karmic remnants in us because each of us is responsible not just of our own actions and the creation of our own karma and destiny, but we are also in charge for their influence on every living thing presently and in the future. At the end of the day, the outcome of the thoughts from the past will shape the future generations of us. Hence it is right to say that how you behave and think now will mean how your offspring will experience.

Maria says there's no need for thousands of dollars in your checking account to feel like you have plenty and wealthy. There are a number of small things you can do to create a feeling of prosperity and plenty within your life.

Cash In Your Wallet - One very simple technique is to keep cash in your wallet. This doesn't even need to be a significant amount; breaking a 20-dollar bill into singles works great for this. For me, I like to keep a few $50 notes at any time in my wallet. It feels good.

When you open your wallet for any reason, you will note the stack of bills inside. Your unconscious mind will observe the fact that you always have money on your person, and you will be surprised at how far this will go toward helping you feel more abundant.

Well-dressed Cabinets - Often it's the little things in life that catches us off guard and causes us to feel broke or struggling. Having to constantly go to the store for groceries and supplies fuels the feeling that you never have enough and are always on the verge of running out.

Stack it as much as you can or reasonably so and every time you look in the cabinet to see that you are well-stocked for a month or two in advance, you'll experience a very real feeling of relaxation and well-being.

Circulate Money - When it's time to pay a light bill, mortgage, car payment, etc. avoid thinking in terms of spending money. That which is spent is used up and gone forever. Instead, tell yourself you are circulating money for the good of the economy. When you pay your utility bill, you are supporting your region's ability to have lights, water, etc.

On the occasions that you pay a bill with cash, take a moment to hold the stack of bills in your hand. Take a good look at it. Feel the texture of the printed paper with your fingers. Smell the currency. Fully immerse yourself in the experience of holding a decent chunk of cash in your hands.

At any time in the future you can easily imagine yourself holding a large sum of money because you regularly engage in the practice of doing so.

These techniques are simple, and can be applied by anyone. More importantly, they really work.

Thanks Maria Duval!

Is it aspirational to know yourself better? I think to really understand yourself more is to love yourself more. The notion of who you are vibrates in accordance with the laws of the universe. When you know yourself better, you can lead a happier and more fulfilled life.

Maria Duval regards individual as a mystery that is to be sought and understood. You are no exception from it. This does not mean you intellectually understand everything about yourself. To know yourself is to give yourself over to the discovery fearlessly, without reservation allowing for the greatness in you to unfold.

Knowing yourself is a life long journey and requires conscious effort. Through your experiences and knowledge you build a map that leads you to a happy, abundant life. Your emotions and insights are tools for making necessary corrections. Through intellectual studies, physical activities and interaction with others, new impressions are created. Awareness of these new inspirations is the way we discover ourselves.

Finding your purpose gives life direction. Think of purpose as the ultimate goal in which all other aspirations are leading. As you experience life all your beliefs, ethics, actions, emotions and thoughts are directing you towards that purpose. To know yourself is to be aware of that propelling force, to understand and fulfill your true potential.

Maria Duval tells me that intuition could be our life saver if we trust to believe it.

Sometimes I do feel like my mind is playing the impossible with me, telling me to do things that don't make sense at all. Yet the feeling is very strong that I must obey this inner call, often to a surprisingly positive outcome.

For me, intuition is like a light that guides, although I used to ignore it most of the time. It hasn't been long since I started awakening intuition within me and developing it to a level that shows me results before my own eyes. Once I started hearing my intuition, I didn't believe it... so it took me about many years to finally start paying attention and taking it seriously.

When I explored my physical sensations more deeply, such as a gut feeling or some unusual but welcome feeling in my chest, I usually found positive results, goals accomplished and dreams realized. Sometimes I ask myself how I did it all... (Btw, I haven't performed miracles or anything close to that... I'm not talking about magic... although that might be cool too).

Can I be thankful for my challenges in life?

Can I be grateful for my failures?

Can I be thankful for people who have the things that I desire? Sort of feeling envious of other people's success?

"That seems impossible", you may think. What does this mean actually?

Imagine that you are a junior property agent who just comes into this field not too long ago. You've done your best to kick start your success in the business, but compared to the old pros, you feel like you are just at the foot of a tall mountain. You are envious of those people who have reached the level of success that you want. You compare yourself to them and always come up short.

What if you had a different perspective on the situation? What if you no longer saw your colleagues as competition but considered them as an example of what is possible in the business?

What if you were thankful for the example that they demonstrate? What if instead you praised them and asked them how they achieved their success? You began to treat them like allies and compatriots instead of competitors.

Also, can you be thankful for the challenges you experience or your failures? Are you learning and growing from these experiences? How has this experience transformed you? H

Ask yourself, "What am I learning from this situation?"

As you are thankful for your challenges and the people you envy, your energy will shift. As your energy changes, you are freed to discover creative solutions to your problems.

You will achieve the success you desire. Your attitude of gratitude leads to your success.

You are the winner you always knew you could be!
