Bringing life to your ideas is what helps them to manifest in the material world. Embodying your intentions, feeling it all the way through your physical body, creates an affirmation of that intention. It tells the Universe that you are determined and fully involved in your idea.
What is an intention?
An intention is the goal that you wish to achieve. It's what you have made your mind up about and have your heart set on. An intention is like an affirmation that you make about what you would like to accomplish in your future.
Putting your intention out to the Universe, then sitting back and waiting for it to happen without any action on your part is like a person who goes for a psychic reading and wants to know their future. They sit back in the belief that it's all set in stone and ready for them, then return angry to the reader saying it never happened, only to admit they never performed any actions to put the energy into motion. It's the same with expecting doctor recommendations to work if you never take the medication.
Without participation and action, the future you wish for isn't going to just land in your lap. You need to back up your ideas with forward motion, courage and action. Ideas can remain in your mind forever, but without the action of bringing them down into the physical world, there is no manifestation of the idea- therefore, no results.
Start bringing them into the physical world by actually writing them down. Many times I hear clients say, "Oh, I have a long list in my head. I know what I want." The problem is it's all in their head. They have never written it down on anything material and stated, " This is what I choose to manifest." Once it is written, put the writing in a special place, read it once a day.
In order to turn your ideas into a reality, you need to empower them everyday. Take an action each day to manifest your vision. Write your affirmation, do the research, do one action each day to bring your idea into a reality. You will see results!
