Every
action in life is motivated by and begins with an intention. The important
question is whether we are conscious of our intentions or life is just
happening to us!
The
facts are as follows:
Most
people are simply unaware of their intentions behind what they think or what
they do in day to day life, and as a result, they accumulate a collection of
life experiences based on what happens to them without seeing the significance
of their intentions.
When
we think about doing something we are in fact following an intention which may
be known or unknown to us but at the same time we should know that at that
moment we are co-creating our own realities and we better be clear about our
intentions.
To
be able to live an intentional life we need to be aware of who we are, what do
we really want and why we want that. If not, we will constantly find ourselves
saying something but intending something else.
Any
change begins with an intention because our intentions open us to new
perceptions which consequently lead us to a new direction in life.
To
live an intentional life means to be at peace within oneself and to lead a
life which does not create animosity but it is full of kindness and generosity to
all other beings. Our behaviors reflect our intentions which means “we say so”!
In
an intentional life, there is no separation between us and other beings and we
try to solve the problems of existence and not just our own personal problems.
We choose the most positive thoughts and actions in each moment while
remembering that we are the world and not just individuals.
Living
an intentional life means that we listen to others without interpretation, we
observe without judgment and we deal with what is at hand with compassion. The
question to ask ourselves is – why am I thinking of doing this and what are my
true intentions.
I
would think that if the human beings were intentionally more careful in their
lives we would not have caused all the atrocities in nature, in the environment
and for many other beings on earth, the way that we have done so far.
Let us live an
intentional life in 2017 and onward hoping to create better realities for
ourselves and for all other beings.
