What exactly is your intent?


What is your deep intent? Is your intent to have a win-win for everybody? Is your intent to embrace your fellow human beings of all walks and stations in life as equal to you in stature and nature? Is your intent to live? Is your intent to be a harbinger of good will and an ambassador of peace? Are you willing to clear out the rubble, the weeds, the thorns, the thistles, the rocks from your own consciousness so you may create the fertile soil of Oneness to germinate and grow to complete fruition? What exactly is your intent? (Deborah L Johnson, minister)

The lessons have begun! But then life is always in session so it really never ended right?!!! So I got back all excited and rearing to go! Gender training and entrepreneurship in full force, new ideas and concepts! I come and I am throwing out the concepts and ideas like a woman possessed! I finished and the question was asked, just as Deborah Johnson said in her talk “what exactly is your intent?” Now, I for one never even thought about it on such a deep level to be brutally honest! Madam, your intent arrives before you do and you need to know what it is, don’t you? It is not only about what you plan to do but why you plan to do it, what you expect to accomplish on the back end and all the other motivating factors behind it! Now you have this thing in the west where you are driven by ambition and goals and plans no matter what! You are trained to put a your worth and growth on your own personal achievement, and that’s all very fine however, it many times leaves you striving for more and more and leaves you unfulfilled and your soul in anxiety! Let me tell you this, it is more important for your intent to be pure than for your goals to be met. Digest that for a moment!
So what did I learn today?
Intent is the master key! Hidden agendas and personal “accomplishment” at all costs you may feel is not known by the people you interact with but it exudes through your pores! The intent of your action reflects in the results! It is more important that you allow yourself to be pulled by your vision that pushed by your fear and selfish ambitions.

Peace!!

    Hey
    The funny thing is that you know what your intention it. You are clear about it. The question is what makes you leave it home? Maxine

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe...
