The first obvious requirement to having what you want is knowing what you want. Most people can give you a detailed list of what they don’t want, but how many people can actually articulate in minute detail the things they desire in all areas of their life? Very few! But taking the time to get in touch with our greatest desires is well worth the effort.
What we do with these desires is the next big question. There are several options: Tuck them away where they will live in the shadow of “what might have been” or validate them by turning them into clear intentions. By definition, intention merely suggests clearer formulation and greater deliberateness.
Clear intentions that are conceived in the heart are the ones that generally grow to full fruition. The heart is where the dream first takes shape, giving it the emotional connection or motivation it needs to be fully supported. A clearly defined “Why” is the driving force and key component to any clear intention.
Next, your dream is processed in your head, where a “goal” becomes the concrete result. We use our goals as a means of clarifying what we want to achieve, as a compass for focused purposeful living and fulfillment and to simply utilize the powerful Law of Attraction.
The act of committing to paper what you want to do, be, and have serves as an attraction magnet to invite great things into your life. Research has shown that people who write down their goals are more likely to achieve them than those who merely “keep it in mind.” Why? One reason is that you are forced to define and clarify what it is that you want before you can write it down. While it can’t be proven that every person who has ever set a clearly defined goal got what they were after, it can be shown that no success has been brought about by uncertain intentions.
So the first step in making your dream a “clear intention” is writing it down. Once you do, you are automatically applying the Law of Attraction. The Universe will begin to put circumstances and opportunities before you that will support you on your path towards success.
