The Secret to Getting What You Want - Intention and Focus
Written by Veronica Hay
I am sure most of you have already heard that what we focus on expands, but have you really experienced that in your own life? Have you really noticed it, because if you did, you would be very diligent about where you put your attention. Have you been tuning into the news with its stories of doom and gloom or have you decided to create your own news, direct your own show, with you as the star.
I'll share with you a story here to illustrate the power of "Intention and Focus".
I was in the grocery store last week and it was very crowed. Every single isle was filled with people and shopping carts. It was very difficult to maneuver my way through this crowd and on top of that there were a few screaming children along the way as well. I began to feel anxious and frustrated. I had to be at an appointment and I could see that this was going to take more time tha
I thought. And then I remembered the words -Intention and Focus.
So, I stood at the very top of one of the store isles, and I looked straight ahead to the very end of the isle. I focused there. That was where I wanted to go, to the end of that isle in record time, as if there was no one else there but me. Then all of a sudden, out of the blue, people started moving their carts out of the way for me to move by. I did this very same thing through the rest of the store, isle by isle. I kept my eyes straight ahead focusing on where I wanted to go. I did not waver. It seemed like there was a shift in energy, the children stopped crying, the carts moved, and in a few minutes there I was, at my destination, groceries quickly bought and paid for. It worked like a charm. It seemed like a miracle to me, but it happened. I finished my shopping with plenty of time to get to my appointment.
So, there you have it, Intention and Focus at its best, in a simple grocery store. If you don't believe me, try it for yourself.
What about you? Would you like 2009 to be the very best year of your life so far and would you like some help in setting your intention and clearing your focus?
