Is your well-being important to you?
Posted by Joan
We are a diverse group of people, with many different thoughts, beliefs and feelings about what we consider to be our optimum well-being. As I was researching this topic because I believe in it totally, I discovered that the most ideal State where people experience the most healthy well-being is in Hawaii and the worst is West Virginia.
Of course most of us would say Hawaii is so beautiful that it is a given. However, even though they have many natural preserves and ideal scenery, it isn’t only the natural environment that is the only factor, it is also the emotional state of the people who reside in a particular location that needs to be considered.
We, the people who live in the different parts of the country are the ones who actually determine the response that is felt and that contributes to the healthy or ‘less than’ outcome.
No matter where you live, it is the emotional and mental outlook, your state of mind that influences how you feel and how you actually respond to life’s challenges. Your physical health, which includes the level of exercise and mobility that a person achieves daily also contributes to your overall well-being.
As a species, we need to enjoy the moments of our lives as they unfold. That absolutely requires us to reduce our stress level, release our anxiety and exhibit less anger and resentment. A tall order for a society that is highly motivated and decidedly driven to push the limits of our lives daily.
Being grateful and expressing appreciation for who you are and what you have is also an attribute that will foster greater positive feelings and thoughts. Sharing and being compassionate towards others is an asset. Why you might ask-because when you give out of concern or express caring to another you actually feed your soul and help heal your own inner misgivings at the same time.
We all have strengths and weaknesses but the key is to be conscious of what really serves you and know what depletes you on a regular basis. When you exercise more, have fewer addictions such as smoking or drugs and also have a job that you absolutely enjoy, your life and your lifestyle improves markedly. It is, therefore, imperative that each one of us takes responsibility for where we are on our Earthly journey and then decide how we want it to continually play out. In other words, be accountable for your behavior and your attitudes because they matter.
Maybe it is time for you to pay attention to where you are placing your focus and how you wish your life to play out? Change is possible for each one of us. When you are open to experience change and allow it to alter your behavior and environment you will be inspired to live your best life yet. You have the opportunity to create the lifestyle that will encourage an improved state of mind as well as an enhanced overall healthy pattern to a more meaningful life.
Make a commitment to yourself to examine the experiences that you are facing today and decide if they are actually serving you or hindering your health and well-being. As always, each one of us gets to decide how we want to feel d

I wanna be a Billionaire!
Posted by Intuition Girl
Don’t we all have a similar dream? Rap singer Travie McCoy (featuring Bruno Mars) about it in his hit single, “I Wanna be a Billionaire” and actually turned his pipe dreams into a reality. He found wealth in his gift of musical talents. In the lyrics, you’ll hear, “Go in your pocket, pull out your wallet and put it in the air and sing.” There is a metaphor in that we have to put our money where our mouth is.
How often do you have a dream or desire but then you back down because you are afraid to move forward? Or maybe you think you just do not have enough start-up money to get your feet off the ground and running? Well, if you keep beating yourself up and quit before you get started you are probably right. It is all about putting your money … or your clout, where your mouth is. Yes, “you will miss 100 percent of the shots if you do not take any,” so says professional hockey player, Wayne Gretsky. How many shots have you missed because you gave up before you even began?
Can you imagine if JFK would have decided that it was not a good idea to be the first country to send men to the moon? Or what about Alexander Graham Bell? What if he had decided that the phone just was not a good enough invention after all? Or better still, what if Mark Zuckerberg just decided that Facebook was just a silly novelty and pulled the plug before it ever made it to the Net? Where on earth would many of us be today without some of the innovations of the past and recent past? It is not a matter of whether or not you can or cannot do something; it is a matter of whether or not you are willing to go the distance.
So what is it that your heart truly desires? Do you want to make it to American Idol? Are you trying to expand your catering side job into a full time business? Do you really want to earn that degree in civil engineering? How far are you willing to go? How much courage do you have to do what it takes to get you to where you need to be? If you are willing to take the leap of faith and follow your heart, you may just surprise yourself with the end results. I imagine Travie McCoy did, as did Mark Zuckerberg, Bell and Gretzky, among others.

5 Tips to Coexisting in Peace and Harmony
Posted by Intuition Girl
“We are all in the world together and so we must work together for the benefit of the whole in order for all of us to coexist in balance and harmony.” – Joan Marie Whelan
The “whole” in this instance is the “whole” Universe, and the Universal flow of energy. When we work against the flow of Universal energy, we are disrupting harmony and balance in our own lives, the lives of others, and even the kinetic energy from around the globe. We truly are in a transformational movement and now is the perfect time to learn from the inner truth that is ready to reveal itself to us.
While the entire Nation is in the process of recovery from grueling economic circumstances, we are also in a time of transformation and reawakening to what values are most important in our lives. What are your personal and professional priorities? In what behaviors are you engaged? How are you spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially? How you work with the Universal flow of energy determines your strength in matters of stamina, mental awareness, emotional well-being, fiscal stability and intuitive power.
Sometimes, we have to take a few steps backward to make the climb upward. That is how many of our unseen blessings come to us. We are given opportunities again and again to realize our true potentiality in becoming part of the solution to both peace and harmony in even the most difficult times.
Here are five simple tips to coexisting in peace and harmony:
1. Reexamine your ultimate goal and purpose of life, including your economic well-being.
2. Instead of thinking financial recovery, think moral recovery first!
3. Practice compassion, sharing and caring.
4. Learn and apply genuine acceptance of other people’s opinions.
5. Never respond with anger, hatred or ridicule.
Like Michael Jackson’s song, “Man in the Mirror,” the change we would like to see and the change we want to become, must begin on an individual level first.

What does Failing in Life mean to you?
Posted by Intuition Girl
Losing is a part of everyday life. You can get beat and you will be recognized for doing your best but that is all part of life’s true gifts when we take them as lessons and learn from them. I honestly believe that we truly only can fail in life only when we quit. If we never quit then we never fail. What a simple approach — think about it.
Half the struggles in life are about learning how to choose your battles wisely and to remain vigilant and persistent in doing so. The winning strategy here is not to “win the proverbial war,” but to win at what you do best and not give up in the act. Margaret Thatcher once said that you may have to fight the battle more than once to win it, and that is not only a challenge to you, but a fact in life. I cannot begin to imagine how many wonderful feats would not have been accomplished had it not been for the tenacity and determination of those talented individuals who created some of the lackluster tools that we now take for granted. Alexander Graham Bell could never have fathomed the routine use of his telephone, nor could he have ever foreseen the branches it would take in its expansion toward wireless communications. But it was his struggle to create something new and innovative that led to what we have today. It did not happen overnight, and it was not an easy feat – but his vigilance and persistence paid off in the end.
Another fine example of overcoming failures to live a purpose-filled life was a teacher by the name of Anne Sullivan. Had Sullivan ever conceded to her misgivings of trying to teach a deaf and blind girl, there never would have been such an inspirational story of going against all odds to do the seemingly impossible…but she did. Sullivan was convinced to use persistence and willpower to help develop one of the fondest motivational and heart-touching stories of all time: Helen Keller; who subsequently went on to writing and publishing 12 books, among pursuing several other lifeworks.
Of course there are many other success stories throughout the course of history. I would not have enough days in a lifetime to tell you about those who went on to overcome failures to succeed at what they did best.
What does failing in life mean to you? Have you given up on trying to succeed or have you lost one battle to fight yet another one? We live to fight another day and that is the importance of vitality. If we no longer have reason to rise above the human condition and circumstance, then we have not begun to live at all. My challenge to you is to look within yourself to discover your hidden talents so that you too, can manifest prosperity, happiness and a purpose-filled life. Failure is not a curse word, but a blessing in disguise. It is through failure that we learn to humble ourselves. It is through failure that we learn what not to do and what precisely it is we need to do in order to succeed. Failure is in virtue, the defining thread of life that enables us to see our shortcomings and discover our potentiality.
If you believe that you will fail, surely that will be the case. But the same holds true for those who believe that they will succeed. When you plant the seed of fortune in your mind and spirit, you begin to manifest blessings that have long awaited you. As we grow, we learn from our mistakes. In Walt Disney’s “The Lion King,” Rafiki swats Simba on the head with a stick. He then says to the young lion cub that the past can hurt, but that he can either run from it or learn from it. In order to conquer your future, you must first forgive yourself and release your past. Learn from your failures and move forward with your head held high and with persistence and determination in your heart. You too, can manifest a prosperous and joy-filled life once you understand that past failures are not for you to carry, but from which to learn and to discover the true essence of you and who you intend to be.
There are no real “failures” in life, after all – only valuable lessons to be learned. How we perceive our disappointments is half the work. How we react to them is the harder part of the lesson. Do you continue to struggle in your day to day routines because of past failures? It is time for you to let go of those old wounds and hurts. It is time for you to re-evaluate the choices that you have made so that you can make the right choices from this moment forward. You can no longer fail in life because as long as you never quit, you are destined for success…and that, my friends, you can take to the bank.

Are you Living la Vida Loca?
Posted by Intuition Girl
Ricky Martin is famous for singing about it; but how many of you are living it? The “crazy life,” that is.
- Do you wake up every morning with a sense of direction and focus?
- Do you know what you want today so that you can have it tomorrow and in the future?
- Are you prepared to give up the crazy life so you can create a prosperous, happy life?
You’re not alone – and 2010 is all about just that: turning stepping stones into milestones; and transforming average lifestyles into healthy, abundant, and wealthy lifestyles! 2010 will be a year of assertive action and ambition. It will also be a year that will transform the way you think, feel, act, and move in your life…if you’re willing to move away from the illusions of your past to build a new tomorrow. 2010 is also the year for you to make the right choices in your life to create a sustainable, joy-filled way of life.
If you’re living la Vida Loca, then you’re not building your potentiality. In order to manifest your higher potentiality, you must assemble the right amount of strength and force behind your energy to drive your consciousness toward positive outcomes. 
More notably, 2010 will be a POWER YEAR! This New Year is one of the critical turning points of the 21st Century. When you are ready to change your thinking power, and when you begin to nurture your Authentic Self to regain your command in life, you will be able to fine-tune your self-image to reflect your genuine identity and strengthen your own intuition. In doing so, you are creating the process whereby you can explore your life purpose and begin reaping the rewards of your own self-driven success!
That’s where I come in…
In my upcoming 10-month Mastermind Platinum Program, I’m going to share my intuitive expertise in helping you create real momentum in your life. You don’t have to wait another day to get your footing in the right spot. In fact, my program is set to begin on January 20 – that’s just around the corner. Isn’t it time you gave up living la Vida Loca to start living in abundance and happiness today?

I am,
