Either the Thought is Thinking You, Or You Are Thinking the Thought
Unleashing the Power of Intent: The Key to Empowering Who You Are, and Creating Your Life
“Either the thought is thinking you, or YOU are thinking the thought.
Either the emotion is emoting you, or YOU are feeling the emotion.
Either the belief is writing you, or YOU are writing your belief.
Either the rain is raining on you, or YOU are experiencing the rain.” Zazoo
Based on your intent, life happens to you or because of you.
Have you ever wondered how to empower yourself on your spiritual journey and in life? The answer lies in living with intent. Living intentfully is a powerful way of living. Ancient spiritual societies, such as the Toltecs of Mesoamerica, knew intent’s secrets. Intent represents the universe’s underlying creative and guiding force for the Toltecs, driving all things into existence and maintaining the interconnected web of life. Intent is the purpose, meaning, and power behind all creation.
When you consciously choose to activate your personal intent, you forge a connection with this universal force. This connection grants you access to greater wisdom, creativity, and empowerment. By harnessing the power of intent, you gain dominion over your life. You are able to choose what you wish to experience and how you will experience it.
So, how can you tap into this incredible force and start living with intent? Here are a few steps to help you on your journey:
Be resolute in your words
- Strive for honesty and clarity in your communication, ensuring that your words accurately reflect your thoughts and intentions. The Toltecs emphasize the importance of being impeccable with your words, as this practice fosters trust and integrity in your relationships and interactions.
Claim your life as yours
- Embrace the idea that you are the creator of your own reality. Take responsibility for the life you are experiencing. By owning your choices and actions, you empower yourself to make positive changes and cultivate a life that aligns with your values and desires.
Choose who you are in every moment
- Recognize that you have the power to shape your identity and determine how you show up in the world. By being mindful of your thoughts, emotions, and actions, you can see the reflection of yourself in your external world and make conscious choices that align with your true self.
See yourself bigger than your problems
- Approach life’s challenges with a sense of perspective and resilience, understanding that you possess the strength and wisdom to overcome any obstacles that come your way. See yourself as the powerful cosmic being that you are. By envisioning yourself as greater than your problems, you cultivate a mindset that fosters growth, learning, and personal transformation and gain dominion over your life.
Set clear intentions
- Begin every day by setting your intent for that day. Tap into your deep desires. Visualize yourself experiencing the positive feelings you have with those desires already manifest. This will help you focus your intent to have positive experiences and manifest your dreams.
Practice mindfulness
- Daily meditation or mindfulness exercises strengthen your connection to the present moment. This will keep you grounded, less likely to become distracted by what life throws at you, and more focused on your intentions.
Take inspired action
- Align your actions with your intentions, and be proactive in creating the life you desire. Remember that intent is not just about wishing for things to happen; it’s about taking purposeful action to make them a reality.
By incorporating these practices into your daily life, you’ll be well on your way to living with intent and experiencing the empowerment that comes with it. As you become more adept at harnessing the power of intent, you will find yourself unlocking a life greater than you could ever imagine.
