The path to Heaven is paved with good intentions.

Most people have heard the saying that the path to hell is paved with good intentions.  I happen to think the opposite.  First off if you are living in hell, it is quite possible that you never grasped the concept of setting the intention and believing in those intentions.  I believe that experiencing Heaven on earth is available to everyone if they will set the intention to do so, and when they succeed they will know that they are different from most people walking the planet today.

Setting an intention is laying things out to the Universal Consciousness, to God, and your own EGO, and not letting thoughts or words of doubt creep into your day.  Setting the intention is coming to grips with what you truly desire and realizing that you have every right to expect the desires of your heart to come into existence.  Why would the Creator of the Universe lay a desire on you if the Creator didn't want you to have that desire?  The simple answer is that it wouldn't happen that way.  God is not in the business of setting people up to fail, or setting people up for heart ache.  It is not in God's nature, never has been in God's nature, and never will be in God's nature.  We  conditioned humans expect things to blow up in our faces.  God never said they would, God never wanted them to, and God certainly did not cause them to explode in your face.

I'm tired of people who proclaim that the reason they didn't get what they wanted is because God held back from them.  Are you an idiot?  I know that may sound harsh, but once again why would God place a desire in you simply to see you go without it?  He would not.  Hear me loud and clear, he would not!!  The reason things do not happen in people's lives the way they want them to is because the moment something comes up that messes up their own little apple cart they are blaming others for the demise of their desires.  It has nothing to do with others, it has everything to do with you.

Intention is nothing more then owning what is yours, what has always been yours, and what will always be yours.  We have let the conditioning of man to control us for far too long.  God never said you needed to live a life of lack.  God never said you had to accept second class status, or that you had to walk around with a million different ailments.  This is all man's doing, and until such time as you accept this fact you're going to be held captive by man's expectations.

I can't tell you how many times God has taken it on the chin by man, who constantly blames the almighty for not hearing their prayers.  If you are unable to understand who and what you are, then you will always be the one holding that empty bag of goodness.  The time has come to throw man's conditioning out the window and begin by setting the intention that you will have all that is in your heart.  Now I've been just as guilty as anyone when it comes to words of doubt coming out of my mouth.  It has taken me quite some time to train my mind and my mouth to only say what I truly desire and stay away from words of defeat, fear, and uncertainty.  How many times have you said that things will mess up only to find that things in fact do mess up?  Is there any question as to who perpetrated this mess you find yourself in?

Now I know that this blog may seem kind of hard hitting today, so let me change it up a bit, and give you hope.  After all, hope is what allows us to take on each new day, and hope is what gives us the drive to go after the things in our hearts.  Learning to set your intentions is what will put you on your path of self-enlightenment.  It will create hope in what some thought was a hopeless situation.  Intention setting is nothing more then having a belief of what is inside of you.  Think about it this way: what brings a smile to your face?  What would make life so exciting, so worth living, so totally appealing, that you would not want to miss a single moment of it?  Do you have a mental picture of this thing?  Good, now ask yourself how you would feel if you were smack dab in the middle of it?  These are the desires of your heart, and these are the things you need to set the intention of having in your life.  You can sit back and do nothing, and you will be no worse off then you are right now, or you can set the intention that you will have your desires and then watch life change in a very dramatic way.

If you are currently just drifting through life waiting for things to happen, my guess is that not much will happen.  If on the other hand you set the intention that you will have the desires of your heart, then you will certainly begin to see a shift in things, and in this shift you will begin to live the life that  was always intended for you.  If you want to experience heaven on earth then begin to believe in those things you have deep within.  There is happiness out there for you, you simply have to believe it is for you.  There is an appointed time for everything, and maybe, just maybe this is your time to finally go after all that you dream, all that you desire, and all that you know is yours.There is not a better time then now, and once you decide to set the intention of having all you want, then and only them will you begin to see the changes you really want.  Create your own path to heaven on earth, and when you are walking on that path, I assure you life will be something to smile about.
