Yesterday I posted on the Power Of Intention. I was not looking to copy or piggyback the title of the Wayne Dyer book. I am seeking to add to the clarity of what intention is about. I spent time sorting through the tweets on Twitter the last couple of days looking at the keyword intention. I observed that many people use the word and even attempt to use intention as an attraction concept. More specifically use it as a goal… “it is my intention to clean my office today” said in a genuine way. It was clear from looking at this particular person’s tweets that their view was very – Law of Attraction oriented.
Having spent the better part of 3 decades involved in spiritual learning and living – I observe the many attempts to use powerful wonderful forces to better people’s lives. Sometimes the aim is just off the mark though and sometimes is so off it can serve to hinder people.
The person using intent as a “verb” is confusing their spirit with an ego focused attempt at accomplishing a task. Think of it in the use of the sentence “I intend to…” almost as if this is statement of – regardless of what blocks ME I will get XXX done. A more practical alternative might be to identify the action one is taking and attach to it the spirit – the intention you bring/allow to your actions and even a final result. Example: I will work diligently and in a focused manner today – to clean my workspace to allow clarity and more focus into my business and ultimately more abundance.
One of my favorite quotes about actions, intention and results is: Things done with intent, produce intended results and things done without specific intent produce unintended results.
Which brings about intended results?
“It is my intention to clean my office today” OR
“I will work diligently and in a focused manner today – to clean my workspace to allow clarity and more focus into my business and ultimately more abundance”
Carlos Castenada really expresses the power of intention in the energy manner that is so clear for me. He says:
In the universe there is an unmeasurable and indescribable force which those who live “of the source” call intention and that absolutely everything that exists in the entire cosmos is attached to intention by a connecting link… he goes on to say basically our work is to clear the connection to that force and act in harmony with it. That we do not create intention or results… we allow them to come to us by getting aligned…
OK So right about now you might be asking – Is this blog a personal development blog or a business development blog? My feedback to you would be we are focused on helping others develop businesses that serve their lives… a business that grows fast with high margins creates a huge energy of abundance and cash flow that allows one to focus on whatever has meaning in their life. The personal concepts we share here are intertwined with personal development and part of your business success.
