Living with intention.
My highlight this week is that I was invited to be on the “Get Real Girls” show all about The Power of Intention. (Here’s my shameless plug–it airs on Saturday, 10/6, from 8AM-10AM on FM 107.) Tune in and you’ll hear the master of intention, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, who is highly inspiring. And you’ll hear me chatting with the Girls about how Live Dynamite incorporates intention into the work we do. If you miss the show, you can always download it.
Being on the show got me thinking about when I was first introduced to the idea of living with intention. It was about seven years ago. I was asking my friend Beverly for advice on some situation and she asked me, “Well, what’s your intention?” Her words ran through my head for the next week. I kept asking myself, “Why am I doing this?”
What I found was that many of my intentions were genuine, but there were also times that I saw fear, or the need to control things, driving my actions. That’s when I became very thoughtful about what I was doing and where I was investing my energy. I started making changes in my life. And as I became more intentional, I began to really see how my intention charged the energy around my actions. Ultimately, what I put out is what I got back.
So now I practice living on purpose every day. I still read books that inspire me to stay on track and keep expanding my understanding. We’ve also made intention a core element in the work we do with Live Dynamite. As they say, we teach what we most need to learn. And I am definitely still learning. I’ve seen the power of intention positively shift the direction and focus in so many lives that I’m continually inspired to keep up my own reflection.
If the idea of intention feels new, listen to tomorrow’s show. And I highly recommend two books that have helped me live more intentionally–“Quantum Success” by Sandra Ann Taylor and “The Power of Intention” by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.
“Our intention creates our reality.”
