Intention Manifestation As A Way Of Life

By Joshua James


The concept of reaching dreams and goals through the concept of intention manifestation was once considered a New Age notion, reserved for mystics and gurus. In recent years, the idea that we create our own destiny is becoming a more mainstream concept. As science looks more deeply for answers, the more mystery is discovered. The thought that we can create the life we want has always been appealing; in recent years it is becoming more believable.

Being open to the idea that our reality is our own creation is powerful. The simplicity of performing daily tasks, whether it be cooking a meal or running an errand, can be seen as part of our mental picture before it reaches the physical world. Expanding that concept to include creating more of what we want in our lives, seen in this way, is not a huge stretch.

Many books have been written on the subject. An early work on the subject is Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rick" in 1937. This book was the result of studying the lives of hundreds of successful men. A common thread these men shared was the belief in affirmations and a positive attitude. Reading aloud a clear, concise statement of what one wants to achieve, twice a day, is one of the main exercises. This concept of positive affirmations has been carried into our modern times.

Over-simplified? Maybe. But for many, this seeming simplicity has led to happiness and success, in whatever way those words are defined for them. Not everyone considers monetary gain to be a measure of success. For some, it's a rich and full family life, or involvement in their communities, or feeling that what they are doing is making a difference in the world. However it is defined, discovering the best way to achieve our goals is a driving force.

For so many more, taking responsibility for their lives seems daunting. They feel no control in their lives and no power to change them. The ways to turn this attitude around could fill a book store, and if it were easy, we would all be living the lives or our dreams. There doesn't seem to be a magic trick to all of this, as each person's life unfolds in a unique way.

Perhaps the idea of destiny, karma, soul lessons all play a part. Perhaps the idea that this is all a random roll of the dice and we are all in the game of life for no deeper meaning is the real truth. No one knows, but to create a happy life in spite of life's ups and downs is something everyone seems to be searching for.

Maybe the key lies in learning to tap into one's intuition, to take action based on that quiet inner voice. Maybe the key is in developing a positive attitude, even in the face of adversity. Maybe there is no key, and we're searching for something that doesn't exist.

However we wish to define our lives, intention manifestation is a compelling concept. Learning to tap into the power of our own minds is a growing and compelling notion, and taking responsibility for how our lives are working, or not working, is a challenge worth taking.
