I thought that rich people were all greedy, and that most of them had probably sold their soul to the devil in order to attain their wealth.  I assumed that rich people were conniving miscreants who took advantage of others.  I assumed that corporations were evil, because it seemed to me like they always used clever marketing and subliminal advertising to coerce people into buying their products.  Rich people who inherited their wealth seemed lazy to me.&#8221;</p>

That should be enough of a clue it&#8217;s something that can be trusted. But, our culture has done a thorough job of instilling doubt about the wisdom of following our instincts. Instead, we are taught to think things through and be logical. These mental tools are important, but they were never intended to be used instead of intuition. They work better when used in conjunction with intuition. If we are open to it, we get nudges and insights to move us in the direction of our greatest joys, our most valuable contributions, and our most satisfying life. Those quiet whispers and gentle taps on the shoulder are examples of inner guidance in action – intuition.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Shirley</strong> presents <a href="http://brightdays.wordpress.com/2007/11/30/how-to-cope-with-your-pain/">How to cope with your pain.</a> posted at <a href="http://brightdays.wordpress.com">Brighter Days for you and me!</a>, saying, &#8220;“You’ll be okay; you are good at coping with life’s hurdles.” Have you ever heard this and wanted to stomp on the foot of the person who said it? I’ve heard it a lot, from the time I was in middle school and my parents got divorced, to the present day when I talk to friends or family about my problems. While well-meaning and essentially true, sometimes platitudes like this can be very hurtful.&#8221;</p>

We become attached to our particular way of doing things. The trouble comes when we cling to an old method that we have outgrown. We feel bogged down and then stuck when our personal development potential is being limited by an outdated method. If your method feels more like a crutch than a tool, it’s time to take an objective look at it. Is the method in question bringing you peace and joy? Is it helping your personal growth, or is it just a familiar and comfortable habit of thought?&#8221;</p>

Often they will try to cope with their feelings of helplessness by denying or being blind to what you are trying to tell them. They may also be feeling angry at whatever or whoever hurt you, but don&#8217;t know what to do with their anger. So what do you do? &#8221;</p>
