What is your intention?

Intention is what you will do and how you will show up for yourself and the world. If you lack intention or failing to make a decision to do what ever your subconscious or conscious mind has thought of, it is the same as allowing someone else make your decisions for you and having no intention at all. That’s right it’s the same your failing to plan, which is the same as planning to fail. Unless you decide to manifest something it will not come to fruition. You must do something, you cannot sit on a rock thinking of having something and believing it will happen without a physical action on your part.

So many of us sit around and ponder what we will do in our lives. How will I find a good mate? How will I find a good job or build my own business? How will I have an athletic body? Whatever your goal if you just think about it and continue with doubts about it you cannot achieve it. Saying things like “you know I’m going try out this new diet and see how it goes.” There is no intention of making it work. You have not made the decision to have it be successful because you have not made the commitment to make it so. Trying is only just that, it is a wishy-washy ploy to deceive yourself into believing you may actually achieve your goal. But you see it’s not a real goal, because you are not really intent on reaching it. You will allow excuses to creep in. I just couldn’t eat what I was supposed to everyday, I just couldn’t get to the gym because I woke up late. I just couldn’t blah, blah, blah. It’s not, I just couldn’t, it’s just I am not willing to do what it takes to reach my goal. Sometimes we really believe that we are doing our best, but if you look at the results or lack thereof you’d have to admit that you really weren’t intent on reaching your goal or hitting your target.

What goes along with INTENTION? ATTENTION. You now must pay attention and give energy to your intention. Again, not try, but actually get yourself off the couch and out of the house or to your computer, or to whatever it is for you to make it happen. YOU MUST DO IT! So are you doing it? Let me know what you do to make your life a success. How do you do it? What do you do? What do you tell yourself? Come on let me know.

You have awesomeness in you. So go have an awesome day.

Namaste,

Your Body and the Earth – What do they have in common?

Do you take care of your body? Most of us would surely answer yes. At least we like to think we do. Do you eat properly? Do you cook your own meals? Do you eat organic foods? Do you look carefully at the ingredients in processed foods? So just how thoughtful are you of your body? The instrument you inhabit that allows you to do, be and have.

I’m sure your answers are interesting as well as your excuses for not treating yourself, as you should. I’m not here to chastise you or berate you for not taking care of yourself, because frankly if you don’t care about you, why should anyone else. That sounds harsh, doesn’t it?

By the way I’m not that kind of person, I’m just creating an awakening here. You see I’m writing about this for 2 reasons. One, because I do care about you, and two because I care about the earth. So what do you and the Earth have in common? Well, you see you are not just the custodian of your own body you are the custodian of the earth. And frankly I’m concerned that if you don’t care about yourself, you won’t care about the earth and its other inhabitants, which are about me, your neighbors and your friends and family.

You see although I can only give you advice on how to take care of yourself; I can’t do it for you. But when it comes to the earth we need to work together and we need to understand and come to an agreement that since I want to live a healthy life that you need to be in alignment with me to make it happen. First I can’t do it without you and second It’s not fair that I have to fight for my life and carry 100% of the burden.

Right now if the earth were your body you would be able to feel how ill it is and how it is suffering. It is suffering with political and economic oppression, war, famine and pollution. Each day there are children all over the world who are suffering from malnutrition, blindness, and homelessness and in the hands of heartless people. There are adults who have no idea how to fend for themselves, where to turn for food or shelter and who are slaughtered by tyrants and governments because of greed.

This piece I write today is just a call to awakening and as a reminder (although I’m sure you haven’t forgotten) that everyday, regardless of what you do, you need not just to be aware of, but also to take care of me. I am your brother, your sister, your father, your mother, your aunt, your uncle, and your neighbor on this orb floating in space. Yes, I am your family and we are all in the same bus. We share the same resources and every time you litter, you poison or misuse anything on this earth, whether it be a person, animal or resource you do the same to yourself.
I am on your side, I am looking out for you, I love and care about you and for you, please do the same for me. The atoms that make me who I am and the atoms that make you who you are, they are the same just resonating at different frequencies and they touch each other through the atoms of space and time.

We are so connected - please practice mindfulness and compassion in each moment of your daily life and cultivate peace. With clarity, determination and patience we can all have a peaceful, healthy and prosperous life.

Namaste
