Guides are very positive. If guides see a block or something that is holding you back, they point it out in a way that creates growth in a positive and supportive way. We rarely say, "This will be hard," or "You are not doing a good job." Instead we point out all the good things you are doing and lead you to see how easily you can do something and make changes in your life. Guides may be gentle, talking only of what you can learn and grow from. They can also be blunt with love, if that is what it takes to get your attention.
