The power of intention

We have infinite power within! Everything comes from the intention we set into the universe. An intention is a directed thought toward a specific action. Most of the time we are not aware of our intentions and we wander without any meaning, thinking that the actions we make are the only thing that matter. If our intentions are selfish, directed only towards ourselves, any “good” deed or action we are making will not feel inside as good.

Actions are not that important when they lack a proper intention. When all we think about is to satisfy only our needs and desires, whatever will manifest externally will not bring us any comfort or pleasure. We all have done things for the sake of doing them and to be perceived by others as “good people” and shortly after we felt bad. There is a point inside us in which we know, we feel that if our intentions are only to satisfy our selfish desires we will not feel very satisfied.

The power of thought has tremendous effects on how we feel and perceive the world.

When we have great desires, meaning they are not directed only for ourselves, the quality of our thoughts will improve. Many of us experience a lot of negative and obstructive thoughts, which appear mostly because our desires are small, egoistic. When we will have great desires, our thoughts will change their range and new ones will take shape inside us.

Setting out intentions into the right way and direction is the key for our continuous growth and transformation. An intention is a heartfelt desire. By continuous self-refection we will become more aware of our thoughts and how we can influence our well-being, our state of mind.

If we could become conscious of our intentions, we would see clearly that everything comes from within. We would stop trying to change the world and we would start focusing on ourselves. By changing ourselves we will change the entire world, the whole universe. If we will stop interfering in the surrounding world and concentrate on our attitude to the world, we can transform beyond recognition. By trying to correct our attitude, our intentions we can truly act.

We possess the greatest power, and it all lies in the power of our intentions.

“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Great minds before our times have realized what power lies inside a man, and that it is only up to us to make our life beautiful.

We need to realize the importance of self-reflection and self-analysis and how these processes could help correcting our intentions. By changing our attitude, our inner intentions, we could achieve lasting satisfaction, not only fleeting pleasures that come from the material world.

If we will stop thinking that our actions are the most important and we could change the world only by acting, we will stop wasting our energy on something we cannot change, and start looking for a point with the help of which we can transform the world. That point is already inside; we just need to awaken it.

“Who looks outside, dreams;
Who looks inside, awakes.”
Carl Jung

By studying ourselves and the outside world, we have the opportunity to develop and evolve. Everything depends on our sensations and how we perceive reality. *We need to realize that we exist in a perfect world, but our inability to see it this way comes from our inadequate perception of reality. This false perception comes from the fact that we inaccurately believe that all the changes take place outside us. By correcting our attitude, we can also correct our perception of the world. The only changes that occur are within us, so all our efforts should be directed inward.

By a continuous reflection upon ourselves, we will acquire an additional sense of perception, comprehension and adaptation to the true reality. We will begin to aspire to a more elevated state and we will try to change ourselves accordingly.

Our journey, the soul’s journey will end where it all started, acquiring a perfect intention, in an unfolding Eternity.
