What are your Intentions?

by Rick Baker
On Nov 1, 2011
Intention may be one of the most underrated forces.
 
I recently listened to a CD where Deepak Chopra said: Intention has organizational power…in a way; Intention is the most powerful force in the universe.
 
If that is even partially true then, definitely, Intention is one of the most underrated forces.
 
 
Intention is closely linked to Inspiration.
 
When I use the word Intention, I mean – ‘a determination to act in a certain way’.
 
When I use the word Inspiration, I mean – ‘a power to influence emotions and move action’.
 
Putting that together…
 
Be determined to act in certain ways and that will give you the power to influence emotions and move action…your emotions and actions – and – the emotions and actions of other people.
 
Be determined to act in a certain way.
 
What way is that? [you might ask]
 
Seems to me the choices are unlimited! [you might think as you ask]
 
True - the choices are unlimited.
 
So – we need to figure out a way to do this sort of exercise quickly…before we get bored or annoyed or distracted by easier and perhaps more immediately-rewarding things.
 
Get a piece of paper and write across the top:
 
 
Actions I Do at Work
 
Draw a line down the middle of the page
 
On one side of the line write Feel Good when I do them and on the other side of the line write Do Not Feel Good when I do them.
 
Then, think about the actions you do at work… consider the specific actions you take as you perform tasks. Think of the specific actions you take as you interact with other people. Think of the specific actions you take when you are working on your business goals. Think of 30 or so specific actions.
 
Write those actions on the page…on one side or the other.
 
Now, circle the actions you believe contribute to you work goals.
 
Take a close look at the actions you have circled on the side of the page titled ‘I Feel Good when I do them’.
 
Focus on these actions as you begin to plan how you will be determined to act in certain ways that will give you the power to influence emotions and move action…your emotions and actions – and – the emotions and actions of other people.
 
That’s a good 1st step toward acting with Intent and acting to Inspire.
