The Power of Intention

Inspire

By BIS Contributor Coach Ana Loi

 

One day I woke up with this message in my inbox: “Good morning, this is the Universe. I will be handling all of your problems today. I will not need your help, so have a miraculous day.”

 
I decided to take the opportunity and have a day with no control, a day with surrender where everything just flows; where life is light, the sun radiates more and even the water tastes better. In the middle of the day, I asked myself: Who do I want to be? How do I want to live? What’s my ideal? Do I want to be happy? Enlightened?
As I had said yes to letting go, I embraced my thoughts and the answers just started flowing.  I knew who I wanted to be so I started playing a game.  Live as is… act as if everything I desire is already here.  Show gratitude for my accomplishments and keep letting go. The word intention came to mind thousands of times that day, it felt like I was having shots of Serotonin every hour and the sense of calmness and happiness kept coming. I didn’t want that day to end but as one day only holds 24 hours, it did.
Before I went to bed that night I made a commitment to myself to start setting intentions each day to create purpose in my life. I said “yes” to life and intentionally created intentions daily, for my work, for my relationships. I took action to change what was not working, what could be holding me back to achieve what I desired and what was keeping me from being the best I could be. I began to experience creativity, kindness, love and expansion and from that experience my life began to change.
“Intention is much more powerful when it comes from a place of contentment than if it arises from a sense of lack, need or fear.” I was only able to discover the beauty of intention the day I was willing to let it go and have the Universe take control for me.
Don’t listen to the voice in your head that says that you have to be in charge; that tells you obsessive vigilance is the only way to get anything done. Take a few moments daily from now to answer these questions and immerse yourself in a life of intentional and majestic days.

  • What can I do to be more creative today?
  • What can I do to be kinder to the people with whom I come in contact today?
  • What can I act with more love today?
  • In what ways can I appreciate beauty more today?
  • What can I do to bring more abundance to me today?
  • What can I co to be more receptive to the people and opportunities that come my way today?

 
Relax. Let the universe help you. Embrace the Power of Intention.
