The Power of Intention

The Power of Intention
(Lets Empower Ourselves)

It has been an interesting roller-coaster week. Hmmm...reminds me of the ride I took once on the Pepsi Revolution at Downtown East. Though I have never been in a front loading washing machine, I think the sensations of tumbling in every possible direction comes pretty close to describe the few unstable moments.

But the ride had been bearable...you know why?
I took that ride on a dare...on a leap of faith. And I had plunged into the action not just because of the challenge, but because I also had a 'safety mechanism' I relied on. You see, my cowardice is also my harness...when I become a scaredy-cat, I close my eyes...and pray.

So I think I survived this week...because of prayers...and because in a way, I had told myself...that I will come to an end....I cannot keep on spinning forever, nor can I keep hanging on to my dear life, just on a wing and a prayer.

There's another powerful book to read...this time, by Wayne Dyer.
It is called "The Power of Intention"

This is what I have gleaned from the book.
Intention is seen as a 'force' that comes from within us. It is a force that is behind almost everything in the universe.

We take take charge of that force...and use our intention to propel us forward.
Lets start with an intention everyday.
1. I will wake up in the morning....and choose to have a good day, no matter what happens.
2. I will find good in the things I do, as well as the actions of those around me.
3. I will make it a point to be nice, polite and civilised to others.
4. I will look for something to make me feel blessed and grateful that I am alive.


Dear God,
Today has been a good one...despite the noise, despite the interruptions...I learn to understand more about the insecurities of certain special individuals, I empathise the heartaches of those who are down. And oh, thank you for the time I get to interact with a sharp mind, which is willing to exchange ideas with me. I find myself with a purpose." Ameen
