Have you ever thought about the power of intention? And how it can have a sweeping effect on your current life?

You have to create the intention that you really want, not the intention that is driving you crazy. For when you focus on what you really want, obstacles melt away, your goal becomes crystal clear, and in an odd sense you get ‘tunnel vision’. Not the kind that blinds you from seeing all the risks and as a result you act irrationally. The type of vision that allows you to easily say ‘no’ to those tasks, favors, requests and actions that will not help you reach your goal.

It’s even more imperative that you explore more deeply what you want —- including “the why” helps clarify and crystalize your intentions.  It has other benefits:

• works your mind to explore all consequences
• keeps your brainstorming abilities sharp
• helps you to focus on what you really want or need, exploring all options and alternatives
• can bring to light additional pitfalls or obstacles you have not thought of

This process will also help you face your fears, identify your negative feelings and allow you to capitalize on your positive emotions. (more…)

The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen – Frank Lloyd Wright

You think good things will happen just because you wish they will happen – The Tinker Bell Effect

It appears we have conflicting statements here …. Mr Wright says we merely need to believe that something will happen and it will.  Reminds me of The Secret: believe it,and with strong emotion, and The Universe will deliver it into your life. The Tinker Bell Effect doesn’t say anything about taking action … it just read if you wish it to come to pass, and wish it strongly enough, it will. Your subconscious mind does not know the difference between what you actually have, or do, or feel, or see, and what you have told yourself over and over again.  That’s why visualization works so well…you have created new mindmaps, new neural pathways, in your brain. Think of creating a new path, either a footpath or an off-road path.  The first time you do it you may have to cut down some weeds, some high grass, and the going is slow.  The more you traverse the same path, the easier it is.  The clearer the path becomes and the less thinking you have to do when traveling along that path. Same thing with your mind … the more you practice, the more prominent you make these mindmaps, the more likely you will behave in the manner you mentally rehearsed without thinking about it. It’s not what you said, it’s what they think they read.
