"Intentions are a powerful force. They combine desire, emotion, and will. They are stronger and more powerful than wishes or simple desires. They can be a profound force in our lives and in lives of people we touch. Take a moment before entering a situation. Examine what your true intentions are. Do you have a motive, an agenda, a strong expectation involved? Have you been as clear as possible with yourself, and with whomever else is involved, about what you really expect and want? Or are you operating wiht a hidden agenda, hoping that if you force your will long enough, you´ll get your way?
Ask God to show you the intentions of the people you´re involved with. Sometimes they don´t know, themselves. Sometimes they do, but they´re not telling you. In those circumstances, you´re being set up for a manipulation and possibly some pain. Be clear on your intentions. And stay as clear as possible on what other people want from you."

"God bring to light my intentions and motives, and the intentions and motives of those with whom I interact."

Put your intentions out there

"Be clear on what you want. If you´re starting a business, taking a new job, learning a new skill, or beginning a relationship, state clearly to yourself what you´re looking for.
What level of performance are you hoping to reach? Stay realistic, but not pessimistic. What do you want? Be clear with the universe about what your intentions are. Be as specific as you can be. If you are on the dating scene, what are you looking for? Some fun? A spouse? Be clear and specific about what you want.
After you have focused and clarified your intentions, then let your intentions go. Sometimes in life we can´t get what we want. Other times we can. And sometimes the journey to getting there is full of twists and turns, much more of an adventure than anything we could have planned.
Besides, the clearer we can be about what we want, the easier it will be to recognize and enjoy it when it comes our way."

"God help me be clear with you and myself about what i really want. Then help me let go of my intentions and surrender to your plan."

"Marcia doesn´t like to hurt people´s feelings. So when she doesn´t want to date or see someone anymore, she doesn´t tell them that. She lies. But she calls it "being nice". She either sets up some dramatic scene that justifies her getting mad and breaking up, or she gives them an excuse that leaves them hanging.
Let go of the drama. Tie up loose ends. If you know where you´re at with someone, you can be diplomatic, but be as clear as you can be.
Be clear with yourself, too.
Watch the behavior of other people. Are they making excuses to you why they can´t be with you? Are you making excuses about why they don´t call?
Some of us wait a long time for someone who´s not even thinking about us.
Stop telling others what they want to hear, when that´s not the truth.
Stop telling yourself what you want to hear, when what you´re telling yourself isn´t true, either. Don´t leave other people hanging. Don´t put yourself on hold.
be as clear as you can be, with other people and with yourself.
It´s the compassionate thing to do."

"God help me know that I don´t have to create dramas to get what I want. Help me live my life from a place of centered, diplomatic honesty, even when that means I need to tell people something they´d rather not hear."
