What is the power of intention and how to develop it?

Good afternoon, dear readers. Probably, each of you in your life at least once thought about why some people succeed, they sooner or later achieve their goals, while others have to dream all their lives. According to one theory, the power of intention is responsible for the realization of desires. Let’s talk about this today.

What is the difference between desire and intention?

People often confuse desire and intention. It is worth drawing boundaries. To wish is to want to achieve something or have something in a timeless future. In other words, we decide for ourselves that we need something, but we are in no hurry to outline it with a time frame. We do not think over specific steps on how to implement the task.

The power of intention is the decision to have or achieve something. Accordingly, this force forms a person’s readiness to move in the direction set by him. Naturally, it is impossible to get what you want if you have not specifically decided to achieve this for yourself and have not prepared for the fact that you will need to make some effort.

To feel the difference between desire and intention, it is enough to say: «I desire …» and «I intend to …». We see that the second phrase sounds much more confident, and the first, on the contrary, is vague. Desires rarely come true, but intentions — an order of magnitude more often. The thing is that in the case of intention, a person firmly outlines the actions and performs them, thereby making the approximation of the result inevitable.

How to develop the power of intention?

Remember that without intention, our desires run the risk of being forever in the desire-only section. How to develop this intention? How to make this feeling strong?

You need to do the following

1. Conduct a motivation assessment. The most important thing is to assess how significant for a person what he intends to do or what he wants to achieve. When a person sees the desired result at the finish line, he begins to focus all his energy on achieving the result. You need to understand exactly what it is for, what benefits it will ultimately bring to you and your family.
2. Focus and concentrate thoughts on what is important. As a rule, what we think about and, accordingly, what our energy is directed to comes into our life. If you want to develop the power of intention, think about the benefits that will bring realized desires.
3. Concentrate on the «K» movement. Since any path is a movement, you must accustom yourself to think about the destination. The “K” movement means that you are thinking about what you are striving for, what is at the goal, and not about where you start from. For example, you need to think about wealth, and not about how to stop being poor.
4. Assess how your desire is conscious, and then believe in the result. The idea that everything will work out, how much happiness and joy it will bring to you and those around you, already has tremendous power in itself. But it is worth learning to reinforce it with sincere faith and the desire to achieve the planned result. Then you will be able to evaluate how much closer and more real your goal becomes.
5. Check your intention for “purity”. Your intention should not harm anyone. Think about it, try to feel the feelings that you will have after achieving what you want. How much happier have you become? How much joy did this bring to you and loved ones? If you feel a rush of joy, then everything is in order with the purity of intention.

We strengthen the intention — we bring the result closer

Practical Tips:

1. Form a specific image of the result to check if your desire responds with inner feelings. You can draw a poster with the result. Let it be as detailed and bright as possible. Then evaluate how satisfied you are with what you have created. Do you really want to have it? If not, correct the image or create a new picture. You must be as clear as possible in the details of what you are going to.
2. On a blank piece of paper, create 2 points: the first is the current state, and the second is your dreams. Outline and list the implementation steps that will be the path between these two points. Oddly enough, it is a specific chain of actions that is the decisive force that makes you move forward, step by step, stage by stage. Do not forget that for the implementation of each stage, you need to provide for the appropriate time, which should be enough. In other words, setting yourself unrealistic time frames and not investing in them, you will only aggravate the situation, delay the result. Objectively short timeframes that you will not fit into will ultimately undermine self-confidence. Therefore, it is important to set feasible goals and complete them in a timely manner.
3. Allow time for rest and recuperation. When solving the tasks set, we should not forget that the resources of our body and energy are also not infinite. You need to consider break times. After all, without rest, you will simply exhaust yourself, as a result of which you will have to push the goal back for some more time.
4. Eliminate or at least minimize communication with people who «undermine» your self-esteem. Everyone, probably, in his social circle will count 2-4 people, communication with which negatively affects their self-esteem. And if these are our relatives, we cannot completely refuse to communicate with them. In this case, you should try to minimize such communication. Remember that the more you believe in yourself, the stronger your inner strength becomes. Don’t let anyone negatively influence your self-esteem. Keep yourself away from such people as much as possible.
5. Take it step by step. Do not move on to the next item without completing the previous one. The chain must be completed. If at any stage you need outside help, do not hesitate to ask for it.

Unlimited Power of Intention

The amazing power of intention gives us almost unlimited possibilities. Thanks to her, you become the creator of your life, your own reality. And then everything will happen exactly according to plan, without any deviations, as a clear concentrated desire accompanies the idea on the way to its materialization.

A person who has learned to control his power of intention, made it clear, clear and pure, writes life according to his own script. He creates his own life with the help of thought.

To date, scientists have established that thought is material, it has weight, although it is completely insignificant. A large number of experiments have been carried out, as a result of which it was found that the weight of a person who is not focused on anything in particular, does not clearly think about anything, is less than in a state of concentration on some idea or idea.

When we think about the result, we concentrate on the steps to achieve it, we thereby bring it closer in real life. It is not enough just to want, it is necessary, relying on this desire, to sincerely believe in yourself and strictly act in the given direction.

A circle of like-minded people speeds up the process of achieving goals

As practice shows, the implementation of large-scale projects requires the concentration of intentions of a group of like-minded people. They do everything that we have already mentioned above — they break the idea into stages of implementation and slowly move forward, according to the prescribed steps. For each stage, the person who is best versed in this area is responsible.

Also, do not exclude the forces of the outside world. This is the usefulness of the result, its relevance, etc.

Today, many coaches, mentors, personal growth coaches offer such a service as assistance in the implementation of their own ideas. Everything they do is essentially about stimulating the power of intention and directing that energy in the right direction.

Specialists organize individual consultations, gather whole groups of people for practical training. As part of these classes, participants outline and visualize the desired result, determine the stages of its achievement. Each such stage is respectively supervised and controlled by the coach. That is, the individual is in such conditions when he simply cannot but act. And it works — it means it brings the result closer.

Correct actions — approaching the target, not quite accurate actions — movement in place. This is what mentors deal with.

Where to start?

Think about how your life could have turned out if you knew about all this from school. What goals would you achieve in time and how would you create your life. Accordingly, the reality would now be different for you as it is.

But the beauty of our life is that every moment of time is suitable for change. Decided to take immediate action. If you don’t know, look and ask. After all, your goal and the result of your actions directly depends on the strength of your current intention.

All you can do now is:

• formulate desires on paper;
• determine and, if necessary, strengthen the power of intention;
• test your feelings by imagining that you have achieved the task;
• determine the stages of achieving the desired;
• consistently fulfill the plan;
• check the purity of thoughts, the presence of happiness and satisfaction from what is happening;
• constantly move and improve yourself as a person.

Our brain is arranged in such a way that the sensations from the fictional and the real are no different for it. Therefore, everyone can imagine that he already has something or has achieved something. What feelings do you feel at the same time? If this is contentment and harmony, you are on the right track — then start acting! If not, review and correct plans and ideas.

We have given a brief summary of what you need to do to strengthen your intention. It would be much better if you study this issue in more detail. I recommend reading the book Valeria Sinelnikova «The Power of Intention».
