Let me start out with a very simple analogy: every person has dreams. Thoughts of what if, ideas that bring joy and happiness. Dreams come in all shapes and sizes. Dreams are often thought of as just ideas, simple visions, hopes. No matter what size a dream may be, there is a purpose behind each of them. The first thing to do is to realize that dreams are so much more than just a thought. In many cases dreams are there to lead you to a specific path in your life. Now just to put to rest what some are thinking, we all have crazy dreams from time to time. Having Super Powers to fly around and save humanity. Driving down a highway in a car and the car turns into a soup can. We could take this to the level of lunacy, but just for a moment let's bring it back to reality and say that dreams are stepping stones to our destiny. The question that comes to mind is what do dreaming and setting an intention have in common? Let's delve into this and see if we can't bring some clarity.
Intention is believing that things we desire will in fact come into existence. Intention is stepping out into something even when those around us think we have gone insane and lost our minds. It has been suggested by numerous people that manifesting our desires, setting the intention of what we desire, is nothing more than a mental exercise. In this I couldn't agree more. The reason individuals can never manifest what they desire is because they can't believe they can actually have what they desire. They have not been able to grasp that they should have what they desire, maybe because of their level of worthiness. Please trust me when I say that one's worthiness is never predicated upon what someone else thinks. Setting the intention for something is nothing more than an extension of something you have dreamt about. As the picture for today's blog shows, Dream, plan, act. Well setting the intention is nothing more than dreaming it, setting up a plan, and finally acting on that plan. Without an intent there can be no action, and if there is not action there will never be an outcome, at least the outcome you are looking for.
How many times have you been having a conversation with someone and they will make the comment "Oh I wish"? How often have you thought of something, and in thinking this simple thought it takes you to a place of "what if"? Each of these examples are nothing more than dreams. Dreams of what could be. Dreams of what one desires. Dreams of accomplishment, success, happiness, and joy. Each dream as I've said previously is a stepping stone to your true destiny. Each dream no matter how small is nothing more than a start, an idea, a feeling. Each dream, an imaginary thought, is there to move you somewhere. Too many times we discount these small, yet meaningful ideas, as merely a passing thought, when in actuality they are guidepost to our destiny.
Dreaming, planning, acting is all a part of intention. Setting the intention is nothing more than adding belief to a dream, feeling the conclusion of the dream, knowing that this dream is intended for you, as there truly is a purpose behind every dream, whether you believe it, or even realize it. So many dreams die an early death because people never set the intention. Dreams die because individuals never set a plan, and even if they do plan it out, never set activities in motion to add action to a plan. You cannot set an intention without putting in the effort to either work toward a goal, or as a minimum open yourself up to receive a blessing in the form of a miracle. Maybe I'll write about miracles at a later date, suffice it to say we stop any flow of the miraculous because once again the topic of worthiness comes in. But I digress. Setting intentions is so important because it really is the first step after realizing you have a goal. It is the first step after a dream. It is the most important step as intention is your acceptance that you indeed have an idea, a dream, a desire.
Intention isn't something that can ever be discounted. Intention is critical if one is ever going to fully embrace the journey to destiny. Intention in its simplest terms is the building block to almost any activity. Does anyone ever set out on a task asking to fail? Do you think that the dreams you have are simply there to entertain? Do you really think that these ideas you have are simply there to amuse you? That's not how things operate in the perfection of the universe. We have been given dreams, ideas, desires, because there is something we are supposed to do with them. The Creator of the Universe does not put a dream or desire in you simply to laugh at you because you are stupid enough to believe it is for you. We need to accept certain truths, and one of those truths is that dreams come to us because we are supposed to take action on them. Dreams are signals of blessings, blessings meant for good, and not harm.
When we set the intention for anything we must have faith. I know that many people have struggled with the topic of faith as of late, but struggles often bring clarity, and it is this clarity that will open up your ability to walk in faith, and thereby with much confidence set the intention to either receive, or walk in your dreams. Nothing in life comes to us without a cost. Now many see the word "cost" as a punishment or as a limiter. What I mean by cost is that it comes with required action on your part. Taking action on a dream. Moving forward with plans and goals. Once again nothing comes to us without effort on our part, even if it's minimal action. When we set an intention we are saying we believe in the dream. When we set the intention we are accepting the goodness that comes from a dream. When we set the intention we are acknowledging our worthiness to receive all manner of good in life.
Intention, intention, intention, dreams, dreams, dreams. Take the first step and believe. Believe you have dreams for a reason, and then set the intention that each dream is meant for you. When we accept certain things in life, certain things happen. We are so blessed to have a vivid imagination, and that imagination has brought forth some pretty incredible things in this world. No matter what you see, it all began with a single thought, or in some cases a simple dream. It is time to dream, big or small, simply dream.
