Take LOVE as an acronym: LISTEN intently to the people with whom you are traveling your journey. Listen deeply; it is a great gift. OPTIMIZE the time you have with your loved ones. The truth is, we do not know our last hour; don't postpone giving your love. VALUE the people in your life, really notice their goodness. Then, EXPRESS your gratitude, appreciation and praise. Mary Manin Morrissey Your quiet inner voice helps you make decisions, gives you direction and acts as your guide. Intuition talks to you in different ways. Sometimes it's a strong feeling or an inner "knowing" Sometimes it's a sudden flash of inspiration or a moment of clarity. No matter how intuition speaks to you, know it always wants the best for you. Next time you're faced with an important decision, calm your mind, let go of self-serving emotions or thoughts and let your intuition speak. At first, it may be subtle. But with awareness you can recognize it instantly. Trust your intuition to be your guiding light, It will never disappoint you The people whom you find most difficult to deal with can also be your most valuable teachers. For your problems with them are not really due to how they are, but rather to how you respond to how they are. Learn to deal successfully with difficult people, and you learn valuable lessons about yourself. Work to relate positively to difficult people and you develop skills that can serve you well in many other challenging situations. People are the way they are. Get past the need to try to change them, past the need to judge or condemn, and look for the value they offer. Sometimes that value is deeply hidden, and when you find it you've found a real treasure, something few people take the time to uncover. In every difficult person you encounter, make a point to look past the difficult part and focus your attention on the person part. The other people with whom you interact are mirrors that help you to see things within yourself. With some people, that mirror can be difficult to view, yet when you have the courage to do so, the rewards can be many and great.
