The Power of Intention

A Sixty-Word Short Story: *

Donna was a student of the metaphysical and obsessed with the notion of truth. Was truth an absolute or was it merely a reflection of a belief? She understood the logic of “we are what we believe” but also knew that the laws of nature were immutable. Her intention now was to reconcile the two and create a new Donna.

And more…

Like Donna, we all stand at the precipice of a new year. A time of reconciliation, reevaluation, recalibration and resolve and once again the season for creating positive change in our lives, and in ourselves, is upon us. The new year becomes a catalyst where hope springs eternal and our thoughts and desires turn into self-prescribed resolutions, all designed to make us better, smarter, stronger, thinner and just a happier version of who we are today. All we have to do is simply identify what we need to change about ourselves and create the conscious mindset to do it – easy peasy.

All change is brought about by two qualities inherent in consciousness: attention and intention. Attention energizes and intention transforms. This means that whatever we focus on we can make stronger and when we take away our attention from something, that something will retreat and disappear. Intention sets the goal and directs us on what and where to place our attention. In other words, if we intend to change some aspect of our life, we have to give it the necessary time and attention it deserves.

The path to a successful resolution requires we’re clear on what we want to change (intention) and we’re committed to the outcome. For some changes like losing weight, we can clarify our goal as losing five pounds in a month. For other changes like manifesting love or abundance in our lives it’s a bit more complicated yet elegantly simple.

Remember that the entire universe and all of us are essentially made up of energy and information and in quantum mechanical theory this means that we can orchestrate change by accessing the quantum field. This is where infinite possibilities reside, and where we can manipulate energy and information through our conscious intent. In other words, once we lock into our intention, we can let the universe handle the details. Concentrate on the desire and not how it is supposed to happen, just trust that it will. This is the power of intention and we all have it. And like Donna from our story, we only need to apply it.

The Final Thought: It stands to reason that if we are made in the image and likeness of our creator, we have the same power to create for ourselves. To manifest dreams, we only have to focus on the dream and let serendipity and the universe work its magic.
