Make It Intentional

p>Every day we are gifted with the opportunity to reawaken our unconscious aspirations and to literally conceive and create anything and everything we desire. We have the ability to think, rethink, reason and wonder, pray and believe. We have the power to transform our unique and wondrous world with our very thoughts, actions, reactions and our intentions. And... We do! Every day is a new day. Every hour is a new opportunity. Every minute that we focus our thoughts we begin a journey that leads us to the destination of our choosing.

Whether you know it consciously or not and whether you believe it or not, you are creating your own life and your own reality - every moment of every day. Every thought you have, every feeling you feel, and every decision you make are all factors which make up your life. We have the ability to control our thoughts, our feelings, our actions, our reactions, and thus, we control our life. Contrary to some beliefs, we are not victims of our circumstances. We, in fact, actually create them. If you are not living with purposeful intent, then you are living as if in a virtual pinball machine, literally allowing yourself to be the little silver pinball. Without purposeful intention, you are being bounced from one place to another and probably feeling like you are just at the mercy of life itself. You are being affected by the thoughts, feeling, actions and reactions of others. They become the paddles that whack you around in the virtual pinball machine of life. If you are feeling as if the world is against you or you just can't get a break, then this book can be the catalyst that changes your life.

I've been a nurse for twenty-five years. I've worked with hundreds of people who felt victim to their life or the circumstances of their life. Patients, co-workers, friends and family have all used the same or similar type of verbiage. I've also worked with those who believe they are "just here" living their life day by day and waiting for something better to happen to or for them. I've seen people sit behind their illness as if it provides them safety. And on some level, for them it does. I've seen thousands of people who were hurt in their past and have turned that hurt into anger or some other type of angst. Their anger or angst is palpable. They are like a simmering teapot always ready to blow off steam. And because they are always simmering, they are easily brought to boiling and then they have to vent to release the pent up steam. They believe it is the fault of others for causing their need to vent. They believe the others made them feel this way or made them angry thereby causing the need to vent. For so many people, they believe there is nothing more or better available to them. They think and rethink about how difficult their life is and how nothing goes well for them. Maybe they wish it was better or maybe they have accepted this as their path. I call this "Stinkin' Thinkin'.”

This book will help you change that stinkin’ thinkin’ leading to an intentional transformation. By changing our perspective and being empowered with understanding our intention, we can literally transform our life into what we want or hope it to be. The ripple effect of our transformation radiates outward, much like the ripple across a lake caused by dropping a stone into the center. That incredible, never ending, ripple effect has a beautiful impact on those in our immediate circle of friends, family and coworkers. It continues on through our circles and those with whom we interact daily or even once. Can you imagine the global impact of intentional optimism and a purposeful positive perspective? It begins with just one of us choosing to make the transformation for our self.

Let today be the day you decide to take a look at where you are and where you want to be. Let today be the day you open yourself up to a new way of thinking, feeling, acting and responding. Let today be the day you make a powerful, purposeful, positive improvement in your life by setting your intention for what you desire and following through to make it all intentional!
