The Worst Best Thing to Happen to You

Blessing in Disguise

Stop crying, forget the pain, and start looking at failures, losses, and disappointments as opportunities, gifts, and life-changing steps. When I look back at all the disappointments in my life, I am now grateful for them because they have led me to where I am today. Maybe you have similar experiences that you may revisit to acknowledge how wonderful your life is now because of those hardships. Here are a few of my life’s disasters turned gifts!

1. Middle School Melodrama

In the 6th grade, my teacher smacked me in the face for “being bad.” My mother instantly withdrew me from that small private school and dumped me into a large public school in the middle of November after school had been in session for months and everyone had already made their friends. I was horrified. Until I met a girl who became my best friend to this very day! If that horrid teacher hadn’t slapped me, I never would have met my best friend. What a blessing in disguise!

On the last day of your life, do you think your final thought will be, thank goodness I sat on the fence?

Stop Drinking the Kool-Aid

February 13, 2012 at 12:00 am
By LJ Innes

Be Your Own Leader and Make Your Own Flavor

When I say, “Stop drinking the Kool-Aid,” I don’t mean the colorful, fruity-flavored stuff you shared with your childhood friends. I mean the stuff you get into with your friends when you’re older. From adolescence to adulthood many of us find ourselves hanging out in groups or with a certain bunch of friends who are of like minds. They can be our peers or even people we look up to and wish to emulate.

The Group Mentality

Groups, big and small, can have unwritten codes of conduct, rules about how to act, who to like, how to dress, who to talk to, and so on. It’s the Kool-Aid that has you thinking like the group, rather than freely expressing your individuality. For instance, high school can be a time when you’re getting your first real taste of the Kool-Aid by belonging to a clique, such as the jocks, the geeks, the socialites, or the “Heathers,” the mean girls of cult classic fame who ruled their school through intimidation. You realize early on that groups can be far more influential than individuals. But the Kool-Aid can come from any group or ultra-influential person who shapes our actions at any time in our lives.

Red Responds: Fix Yourself First

February 12, 2012 at 12:00 am
By Psychic Red ext 9226

Allow Yourself to Be Restored

Andrew from Wellington, NZ asks:

I always seem to attract women that need to be fixed emotionally because of what other men have done though emotional or physical abuse. Once I have built up their self-esteem, shown them that they are fantastic and they did nothing wrong which basically changes their life around, they tend to leave and move on. Maybe my life path is about helping women, because of what other men have done. But slowly I am getting more than a little tired of this as I am finally realizing: what about me? I don’t want to sound selfish, but I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. So each time my heart is broken it hurts, and I do feel it deeply. Will this end or is this my path?

Psychic Red ext. 9226 Responds:

Dear Andrew,

There is gentleness about you that you couldn’t hide if you tried. This is part of the reason that you attract “project” women. You have a gift—the ability to help heal others and set them on their path. You do have a natural empathic ability. And the vulnerability of the broken and downtrodden has a certain subconscious appeal to you. While the women of your past are certainly better for having known you, you have given a little piece of yourself away with the parting of each one. It’s okay that you’re beginning to see that, because it’s a key motivator for you to consciously recognize the reality of the potential impact these relationships have had, and will continue to have, on you. When you fully understand that, you will change your path. Until you recognize that, history will continue to repeat. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s Never too Late to Reinvent Yourself

DreamCast: Dreams of Death

Sarah in Lompoc, California writes:

What does it mean when I have nightmares where I’m stuck in a coffin or tied down and I can’t breathe. Then a guy comes and cuts my throat, but only my throat. Can you tell me what this means?

Hello Sarah,

So typical of nightmares. The exaggerated scenarios are your psyche’s way of getting you to acknowledge an emotional issue that you’re ignoring or unaware of. Well, the dreams have certainly gotten your attention! Read the rest of this entry »

You’re Settling, What Gives?

February 9, 2012 at 12:00 am
By Psychic Danni ext. 5193

Are You Giving Up On Yourself?

It seems to me that there can be a number of reasons why we settle. However, the number one common factor seems to be a fear of abandonment or being alone. Many of us stay in unfullfilling, worn-out relationships just to have “someone” in our lives. Worse yet, many of us continue to pursue relationships with individuals who “never show up.”

We are all born with intuition, the “fight or flight” signals that go off when we’re in a situation that does not suit us. More importantly, the pains of anxiety cripple us and leave us stuck, sad and confused! Why is it that we’re willing to settle or remain in a unhappy situation? The change must come from ourselves. We must first take a honest look at what it is that’s making us unhappy and realize that through finding our own power we find our happiness. Truth and clarity bring peace and balance. When your spirit is aligned, true love will arrive. Read the rest of this entry »
