The Power of Intention
I’ve written before about the Power of Intention when coupled with the Power of Attention. Together they are what constitutes the Law of Attraction.
Did you ever feel like you had to go to some family affair but your heart was just not in it? You were convinced from the start that it would be a huge drag and waste of your time. But you went. And guess what? It was!
Have you ever looked forward to one of these get-togethers anticipating seeing cousins or a favorite aunt or uncle that you hadn’t seen in a long time and so expected to have a great time? And you did!
“Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right.” So said Henry Ford. And he was talking about the Power of Intention.
Sticking with our example of looking forward to seeing your long missed relative and expecting you will enjoy the visit, where do you think your Attention will be once you arrive? Probably seeking them out, don’t you think?
Put it in your mind you’ll have a great or terrible time, and you’re programming yourself to do just that. This is what the Power of Intention is all about.
With the Intention of enjoying seeing them and the attentive action of going to the affair, you’ve guaranteed your good time.
Do you think this might work on a larger scale, daily, in your life and work and other relationships? You might not have real-ized this yet, but the outcome you expect and intend to have is very often the one you get.
How do you feel about that?
Have a wonderful and joyous Thanksgiving holiday, intent on appreciating all your blessings. And you will!
Want = Lack. Is That What You Mean?
Maybe you’ve tried the Law of Attraction principles and you say that they don’t work for you. Have you ever thought you’re using the wrong words?
Consider these affirmation sentences, which you may have already used:
I want a new car. I want a new house. I want the ideal relationship for me. I want to win the lottery.
Note that the word want also means lack and now reconsider those sentences in this light:
I lack a new car. I lack a new house. I lack the ideal relationship for me. I lack winning the lottery.
Words are powerful as we well know. I’m going to take a guess that you don’t mean to confirm I lack a new car but instead mean I desire a new car.
Now say those two sentences and please pay ATTENTION to how you FEEL. If you are paying ATTENTION the feelings should be worlds apart.
I lack a new car.
I desire a new car.
Worlds apart because you can NEVER have what you LACK (WANT)
but you can get what you DESIRE.
How do you feel about that?
