Why are Intentions Important?
Intentions provide a framework for you to set priorities, use your time wisely, and align yourself with the resources you need to manifest your goals. The process of setting and working towards your intentions declares to yourself, others, and the universe that you are serious about your dreams and goals.
A strong, positive, and energized intention is likely to repel that which is not in alignment with it. The opposite is also true. A strong, positive, and energized intention will attract the essence of what it is.
You can set an intention in any area of your life- physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. Although intentions start with a mental picture of your goal, intentions require focus, action, and positive energy to manifest.
Intentions and Results
As discussed in “Choose Your Thoughts Well”, since thoughts precede every action, and action determines results…choose your thoughts (“and intentions”) well.
When you set a clear and personally compelling intention you will tend to act in ways, respond to situations, create supportive opportunities, and make choices in harmony with your intention. Essentially, you will have a tendency to have the experience that you consciously determine is important to you.
Setting clear intentions also helps you to course-correct and be more balanced if difficulties arise.
“Difficulties indeed sometimes arise; but common sense and honest intentions will generally steer through them.” Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)
Setting intentions is key to manifesting personal and professional goals.
