Reach Your Goals- Set Clear Intentions

It is from intentions that all things manifest. To intend to go to point B from point A will result in the arrival at point B. However, there must be an action. To arrive at point B, there must be action taken at some point.

Let's say that point B is a football game. Those that arrived must have intended to arrive there. Not everyone arrived in the same way (the action). Some may have walked, others rode the bus, some took the train or subway, or drove. But, no matter how they arrived, they all intended to arrive at the game. It is intention combined with action that produces desired results.

No action is to have no intention. To have an intention to go to the football game and take no action means that there was never any intention. So it is with life. To be wherever you are in life is based upon intention or lack thereof. Everything we have is stems from intention.

Everything we lack is from stems from a lack of intention Be clear about intentions. Intentions are not wishful thinking. Make only intentions upon which you plan to take action.

To walk blindly is not always the wisest decision. The intention of what you are asking for is all important. For that is what you will create. This is what will manifest.
