To turn a desire into reality requires intention. Intention is the spark that ignites the flame of desire and burns it into reality. Today’s intentions become tomorrow’s reality.

How Do We Choose Our Intentions?

Do you have a written vision statement or intention for your organization or your family?

Do you have a written vision statement or intention for your role in your organization or family?

Do you have a written vision statement or intention for yourself? For your life? For your career?

Do you have a written vision statement or intention for your relationship with your children? Your direct reports?

Do you have a written vision statement or intention for your relationships with your customers, your suppliers, your investors, your employees, your colleagues, your manager or boss?

Do you have a written vision statement or intention for your marriage, your education, your livelihood, your sustenance, your well-being, your success?

Do you have a written vision statement or intention for your vacation, the home or car you want to buy, a conversation, an activity, a sales call, an acquisition, or a meeting?

We can set vision statements and choose our intentions and our purpose for any aspect of our being. You can intend:

Good health

Being a loving partner to your spouse

Being a guide and mentor to your children or your direct reports

Helping your employees fulfill their dreams

Being of highest and best service to your customers, employees, investors, suppliers, children, parents, and humanity

Being open, receptive, and kind in a conversation and using the interaction as a source of learning about yourself and others

And then, before you say or do anything, ask yourself what you can do in this moment that is consistent with your intention. Before you make a phone call or respond to a comment, before you join a meeting or have a conversation, before you open the door when you come home from work, exhale and inhale deeply. Remind yourself of your intention and ask yourself or wonder what you can think or do that moves you another step toward making your intention a reality.

With practice, breathing deeply becomes natural for you. With practice, reminding yourself of your intention and asking yourself how you can think and behave in a manner that is consistent with your intention also becomes natural for you. With practice, you are able to think these powerful thoughts just as quickly and naturally as your old thoughts.
