When you've received a response from your intuition, you need to act on it. I've found that it's trusting, relying on and acting on your intuition that's hardest part for most people. If this is new to you or you want to develop it further, it's just like anything else that you want to be able to do well. You must practice. Intuition is a muscle that needs to be exercised and more you use it, stronger your faith in it will become. At first you may just want to take small steps when acting on your intuition. These small steps can be built on as time goes by and your confidence in yourself and your intuition builds.

Your intuition is guidance from your higher self and has your best interests at heart. Choosing your priorities by following your intuition means you're choosing what is really right for you. You're not so likely to be pulled between different priorities.

She knew, instinctively, what, at time, I did not. That *mother* has to do this to stimulate said apparatus to work.

The box stayed on floor and dog didn't leave side of it for next three days and nights together. If someone within so much as hiccuped, she was there, snouting around to check on her newly adopted charges.

She stopped short of attempting to breast-feed. Oh, kittens tried, but Holly yelped as those needle sharp teeth impaled on tender flesh! I therefore got job of shoving milk in one end with a syringe at two hourly intervals. I wiped little hands and faces with a damp cloth, then held each kitten up for Holly to take care of other ends.

It was like a factory production line! And it was truly magnificent to watch, be a part of and to learn from.

Do you see what I am getting at?

Those kittens obviously could not have survived without food. But they also would not have survived without dog's attentions. Neither task was more, nor less important than other. Neither of us was competing, we simply HAD to work together to get job done. The result is lives of those three tiny, helpless mites who are now growing up to be very fine and strong young cats.

(OK, a little confused about their identities. How many cats do you know who come when their *mother* barks? :-)

It has also done masses to cement relationship between me and dog. The responsibility she took on has changed her personality entirely from self-centred to co-operative and caring, but I think I learned more than anyone.

Teamwork is not always about competition and scoring points. It's not about bosses and subordinates, there should be harmony, although there may well be leaders. It's not about *what's in it for me*, nor even you.

It's about what can be achieved together that's bigger than itself and goes out beyond itself, yet still brings back much more in terms of repayment and satisfaction.

Apply these principles to your business, team and client relationships, to your joint ventures, to your reciprocal linking strategy, to your viral marketing ... and watch your results add up to way beyond sum of parts.

"The universe operates through dynamic exchange ... giving and receiving are different aspects of flow of energy in universe. And our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep abundance of universe circulating in our lives." ------Deepak Chopra
