Did you realize that attention and intention are the most precious gifts we have? Are you aware that your attention is the blueprint for what happens in your life?

Attention is the constant stream of power from the source. You can name is the source, god, consciousness, light, vibration or anything you may be comfortable with. Here is an analogy that demonstrates your attention.

Imagine that you are watering your flower garden and you connect your hose to the water facet, which in our analogy is the source. You set your intention on which flower or part of your garden you wish to water.

Now imagine that your hose has leaks and holes in it. The holes represent areas in your life where your attention is not under your control. What happens is you have less water and parts of your garden receive water that it should not? What you get is more weeds instead of beautiful flowers. The weeds are the areas of your life where you feel powerless because you have no control over them.

What happens if we look at this example to the extreme? You have no water left for your flowers. Your flowers die and the weeds take over. What is really happening is - what you want and desire in life is not happening and what you don’t want is happening all the time. This is all the result of not giving any attention to your intentions.

In order to take control back into your life, you may consider the following:

•Skip the negative media blitz – watch

only what will give you joy

•Drop the newspapers (they are full or negative press) - go back to your favorite book or magazine

•Finish all existing projects

•Simplify your life any way you can

•Think POSITIVE with deliberate thoughts

Take 30-60 minutes of each day for yourself

•Reflect on your life – where have you been and where are you going?

•What IS working in your life and what is NOT?

•What is bringing you joy? What is creating havoc or unhappiness in your life?

•What is your passion or ‘‘why" in life?

•Are you fulfilling your dreams or still just dreaming?

•Are you living up to your full potential?

The more attention you have in your life, the more choices you can make. And with each choice, you empower yourself and grow to your fullest potential. Life is constantly changing and change is growth. Growth makes your feel better and more alive. Happiness and joy is a result of giving attention to your intentions.

Don’t stop dreaming – make them all come true by paying attention to your deliberate intentions.
