Always Set Intentions, Never Expectations.

Posted on by

It is important to set intentions. By setting intentions, you are putting what you want into motion. Just like you set goals, try and set intentions for yourself. Intentions are your power, just like setting a plan to do something— by going into a situation by stating, “I intend to…” you are fulfilling your deepest desire followed by your actions to help complete that intention.  Even by setting intentions daily by stating, “I intend to be patient today,” you are attracting to be patient throughout your day. Start your day by making your intention first thing in the morning while you are still in bed. Create your intentions for how you want your day to play out and watch them unfold as time goes on. (The more you do this, the more effective it will be). Even so, at night while lying in bed about to go to sleep, name what you are grateful for that happened throughout your day and change what you were not-too-happy about and replace it with your deepest intentions of how you would want that “not-so-happy” time to have been so you can take note to make a specific intention in a similar upcoming situation. But know that there is a difference from setting intentions and having expectations. With expectations, you are expecting something that did not happen which causes disappointments. You create an event (illusion) in your head of how you expect it to turn out and when it does not go your way, your hopes get let down. Intentions help create your reality, so again, trust that the Universe is taking care of all of the in-between details.  Keep in mind to be very specific with your intention; remember this is your life, create your deepest desire and know you CAN achieve whatever it is you truly want—there is nothing too big or too small—anything is possible, as long as you believe…and intend.

Go into the unknown being conscious, setting particular intentions and see how life can be on your side… to play out the way you have always wanted. Live your life with the best of intention and know all will be OK, always.

“You are what your deepest desire is.
As your desire is, so is your intention.
As your intention is, so is your will.
As your will is, so is your deed.
As your deed is, so is your destiny.”
-Upanishads

“A goal is not the same as a desire, and this is an important distinction to make. You can have a desire you don’t intend to act on. But you can’t have a goal you don’t intend to act on.” -Tom Morris

“What I know for sure is that your life is a multipart series of all your experiences- and each experience is created by your thoughts, intentions, and actions to teach you what you need to know. Your life is a journey of learning to love yourself first and then extending that love to others in every encounter.” -Oprah Winfrey

“Life does not obey our expectations. Life obeys our intentions, in ways we may not expect.” –Llyod Strom

“Just what is meant by ‘your word?’  It means
your conscious intention, your conscious
direction, your conscious faith and acceptance
that, because of what you are doing, the
Power of Spirit will flow through your word
in the direction you give It.” –Ernest Holmes

“Choose your intention carefully and then
practice holding your consciousness to it,
