Intentions: Your Path to Transformation
The word “intention” originates from the Latin word “intendere,” which means “to stretch towards” or “to aim at.” As Seneca said, “If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.” This essentially signifies the act of directing your focus and energy toward a specific goal or purpose. As we know, energy flows where attention goes, and energy is everything. Therefore, having a clear intention is how we shape our reality.
Intention is like a bridge between your thoughts and reality, a bridge you construct with each heartfelt detail. By doing so, you create a positive ripple effect that resonates through your life in countless ways.
Write your intention, focusing first on your desired feelings, then on outcomes. It should feel good in your body – a feeling of calm and warmth as you think about it and say it out loud. So, when you are in a good mood, get in a comfortable place, close your eyes, and let your imagination flow. Focus on how you want to feel, be clear, positive, and use present-tense language.
By engaging in this profound internal work, you initiate the transformative process that will guide you toward the life you desire.
