Intuition is our ability to know what is true for us. The better we are at hearing our intuitions, the more clearly we know what we want and want to do. It can extend out further into knowing how some things in life will unfold and how others are feeling, but it is far more important to focus on one's self and getting clear on how to listen to your intuition rather than figuring out anything about the future or for another.With that said, most people are really unclear with their intuitions. Some people who are strongly intuitive have their intuitions corrupted by fear and social conditioning that distort the energy they are interpreting. I want to…

There is No Overnight Success
Because our life happens one day at a time, there is a tendency to view each day as a separate and independent event. While I am a big fan of living in the moment, it is equally important to understand how one moment relates to the next. This is especially true when we are talking about success, and that means success of any kind. Success takes time because it’s a building process, and when and when it looks like it happened overnight, that just means the we only saw the end result. …

Get better at it!
“Eliminate one permission.” Today, just one. Maybe one more tomorrow or the next day. Get better at how you manage permission. People treat you the way you permit them to treat you. You’ve trained them. And so when they burden you with unwanted obligations, or interrupt the progress of your day, or in some way distract you and get you off course, know that they do these things because you’ve given them permission. If you want this to change, you need to change. You need to start eliminating the permissions you’ve given to …
How Do You Measure Success?
People measure success in many different ways and on many different levels. When setting goals in life or business, it’s important that we identify what success means to us personally, so that when we succeed we will know it. How do you measure success in business? For example, most people measure success in business according to their income; however this may not be an accurate assessment. If your business efforts provide a substantial monetary reward but you don’t enjoy what you do, can this really be called success? If on the other hand, we were measuring financial success then income would be an accurate indicator. Knowing what …

Spiritual Depression and Unconscious Ego Resistance After Awakening
