Create Good Things

Archive for the ‘Power of Intention’ Category

As regular readers of Create Good Things will be aware, the power of thought – and specifically of creative thought – is tremendous.  However, when creative thought is coupled with the similarly potent potential of will, the combined power is truly phenomenal.  For this reason, in this new series on Developing Willpower we shall discuss how one can develop the power of will in an effective manner. 

The will can be defined in a number of ways. Many people described the will as ‘resolute self-determination’ or ‘personal resolve’. Longman’s dictionary defines the will as, ‘a mental power by which one controls one’s wishes and intentions.’ For our purposes, the will can be defined as, ‘Volitional effort applied toward a known objective.’ In other words, it is a mental power which manifests whenever we take action that we know we should take.

Many people complain that they ‘don’t have much willpower’. Some people actually believe that don’t have any willpower at all. But of course, both statements are quite untrue. All human beings have willpower, just as we all have muscles in our arms. However, as with the muscles in our arms, willpower is stronger in some people than it is in others. Not because some are born with more than others, but simply because some use it more than others and, like a muscle, the more you exercise willpower, the more it grows. Thinking creatively is an extremely good way to improve all aspects of your life, but when you learn to develop and apply your willpower towards the same ends, the results can often be quite miraculous. 

Developing and applying your willpower is not a complicated process. Over the next few parts of this series we will provide you with four separate training exercises to help you increase the strength of your willpower exponentially. We suggest that you use the first exercise for a whole week before moving on to the second, then use the second for a whole week before moving on to the third, and so on. This will effectively give you a full one month training and development course that can’t fail to benefit you.

The power of intention is a force that can move mountains, even when all else has failed. Discover the power of intention, harness it in your life and you can break through whatever barriers you might currently be facing. That is no idle boast, but a simple statement based on actual observation of the power of intention at work.

Lots of people fail to make progress toward their dreams because they wallow around in a swamp of feeble hopes and impotent desires. They like the idea of moving on from their current position, and they are certainly willing to dream about being in a higher, brighter place, but they never muster the power of intention that is required to actually make progress possible.

Intention is not a weak hope or wish about what might happen ‘some day’. Intention is a definite decision followed immediately by forward motion toward the new vision of what life will be like from now on. This means there are three aspects to intention, namely vision, decision and motion.

Anyone who wants to unleash the power of intention must create a vision of what they want their life to be like. What kind of home do you want to live in? What kind of success do you want to experience in your career? What would your ideal relationship look like? How much health and vitality do you want? Unless you create a vision of your future, you will never be able to get there!

Next, make a decision to turn your vision into a reality. This does not mean giving a weak nod to the notion of change, but making a serious commitment to taking full responsibility for your life and to start creating it in a deliberate and conscious way.

Having made that decision, the third step is to follow through and take action. Start creating your life deliberately as explained in the articles here at Create Good Things and also in far more in-depth study courses such as The Art & Science of Magickal Creation. Once you know the technology of reality creation, creating reality is actually very easy!

And there you have it – a simple three-step process to unleash the Power of Intention in your life. You now have two courses of action available to you. The first is to give a weak nod to this article and continue exactly as before. The second is to get serious and act on the information that you have just encountered. Those who take the latter route will find themselves creating whole new universes of possibilities, so make sure that you are one of them!
