Using intention to create a new reality

You have an idea. From it a plan forms. You take action--and in good time the idea becomes reality. That idea, that thought, has energy. Power. It can produce the result you desire.

If you want to feel better about yourself, you can. If you want a good relationship, you can have it. If you want a new car, apartment, house, wealth, fame--you can have those, too. Not without effort, of course, but you can sow the seeds of success with your thoughts. Think positive, think big!

Your thoughts form your intention. Intention is a very big word. It's a magical invocation. Your energy is behind it. You have personal power to effect outcomes. You can say, with authority, I intend it.

If you know what you're doing, you can do what you want. It's important to be clear. If you are confused what you get is confusion. Know what you want. You're worth taking the time to explore that.

Use intention to help you attain clarity. My intention is to be clearer in my thinking. The clearer you are about what you want, specifically, the better your chances are for attaining it. A concise, well-formed intention produces results.

Some intentions have results immediately; others--depending on their scope, your readiness to receive them, your motivation (always positive), your clarity and the imponderables of the Universe--may take years. In every case, it's a good idea for you to have a hand in the result.

I intend for you to be successful.

Using your energy to eliminate negativity

Our thoughts can reflect the stuff our parents used to say--"Don't do this, you are so lazy, you'll never make friends that way, you'll never succeed" --things like that. At one time they may have served some purpose, but not any more (if ever). Repeating such negativity brings negative results.

INSTEAD: Say, "CANCEL THAT THOUGHT" whenever you catch yourself thinking something negative. It turns the negative energy into neutral. It's like puncturing a soap bubble--just gone. You may not be able to find that negative thought afterward. Then you can substitute a positive thought, maybe just "yes, I can."

If saying it once doesn't neutralize it, say it again. And again. Just keep at it, one thought at a time. You'll change your future.
