Strategic Intentions

“Every action, though, and feeling is motivated by an intention and that intention is a cause that exists as one with an effect. If we participate in the cause, it is not possible for us not to participate in the effect. In the most profound way, we are held responsible for our every action, thought and feeling, which is to say, for our every intention… It is, therefore, wise for us to become aware of the many intentions that inform our experience, to sort out which intentions produce which effects, and to choose our intentions according to the effects that we desire to produce.” Gary Zukav

I have realized not only how central intention is to everything but how powerful intention is. I have accepted the importance of intention. I began to take it more seriously though books like Wayne Dyer’s The Power of Intention. His research suggests intention as a force that allows the act of creation to take place. The book explores intention not only as action oriented but as energy we are a part of.

Our intentions are usually broad. We all generally intend to spread love and light. Thinking with intention and including intention in all you do, could be more powerful than you think. Let’s dream bigger in 2015 and take intention to another level. Get specific and strategic with your intentions. Stating intentions and commitments at the beginning of an activity, new venture, your day and when any new direction in your life occurs will have an impact. Give it a try.

Intention is the starting point to fulfilling goals and any dream. Deepak Chopra describes intention as “the creative power that fulfills all of our needs, whether for money, relationships, spiritual awakening or love.” He goes on to describe different methods of harnessing intention in the book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success.

I am glad I have changed the way I look at intention; it has changed the things I look at. As you practice the use and strength of intention, like me it will integrate fully into your life and eventually operate unconsciously. This is when you will feel its full power. Practice and learn how to use it so that it will have a positive impact.
