The power of intention

Their is a part of ourselves that knows our future, an intuitive part that guides to us to people and places that best serve us.

Let me give you an example of this,when i was in the building trade, i had this urge to swim and so i went three times a week, it was some months after this that i was was diagnosed with cancer and when i look back,it was the fact that i was so fit at that time that helped me along.I believe that is was my intuition preparing me for what was to come and it did.

I have seen many such incidences of peoples intuition playing it's part in their path in life.we sometimes think that we go to a certain place for one reason,but time reveals another reason.

Our intuition is our connection with something far greater than we realise and can be accessed by the power of intention.

When you set your intention on something that you really desire in life and affirm this with conviction, then you will find that synchronicities and coincidences happen in your life to enable this want to be fulfilled, you will meet people, walk past places that you have a connection with ext,let me give you another example of this.

I met a man years ago when i worked in a hospice,who was a wealthy man in his late 70's then who began to tell me the fascinating story of his life.

He said he came out of the army with his bursery,not much of anything and decided to fix cars around the back of his house with his mate.Their reputation grew and he built up a litte business. The trouble was his mate was a drinker and became not reliable and so this man set his intention of having a go on his own.

For months he held the idea in his mind, dreamed of one day having a successful business of his own.Then one day his mate came in drunk and wreaked a car and he thought enough is enough.The next day he began to look around,he went from garage to garage only to slowly realise that the money he would need to begin was huge and out of his price range completely.

After days of looking he finally began to think, this isn't going to happen and so one night he drove back home to totally disillusioned along the Bristol Rd, Birmingham, to top it all he said, my car started to chug along and finally came to a stop. He thought great after the week I've had this is all i need, he steered the car to the embankment and sat there and sighed........

Then he looked up and to the left was an old garage, he thought I'll see if i can get some help here and went in.As he entered he had the thought this is the kind of place i could make something of, run down but with potential as he had that thought he said an old man can to the counter and said

"Can i help you squire? "

Yes,he said "i would like to buy your garage"

As it happens the man said "i am looking to give it up"
.
Then began the process of this man buying and beginning his own business which all began with his intention and led to him breaking down outside a garage.

You will find if you set your intention and it's right, then life will support you in ways such as this.

Remember "coincidence is Gods way of remaining anonymous"

That "it is your intention that moves you towards people and places that best serve you,but it is your intuition that guides you".

The Secret

The Secret

It seems we are told the story about how to create more wealth more abundance and yet in truth we misunderstand that the things of real value lie not in attaining more but in appreciating and forgiving each other.

I worked in a hospice as a volunteer some years ago, i went in believing i could cure all those i touched and yet i learned that healing is sometimes about softening a path for another and simply offering a hand to hold or just to "be" with another.

I met all walks of life there, i watched a woman be wheeled out each morning on her bed so that she could feel the warmth of the sun or feel the rain upon her skin as that moment could be her last chance.

I learned to respect anothers acceptance of there time had come,i learned that determination carries a person only so far,i learned that wisdom is nothing about how long a person has lived for but about the insight they have gained as they pass through life.

In all my time there no one wanted to spend time with there big house or ferrari.

Here's the real secret,what people wanted was to do was to tell another "i Love you" to spend as much time as they had left by being with another human being.That may not be fashionable to say these days,but it is true.

I learned my secret here, that what matters most in this life is love,and the simple things in our life.Yet we pursue with a passion things of "value" that are really meaningless in the context of life. We are brainwashed and cultivated to believe money and matter are Gods and yet deep down we know this isn't true.

I can guarantee you this much, you will feel the same ,if you were to ask a millionaire swap your million for one more hour with someone you have loved every time they would without hesitation swap.

So you have value in your life the moment you nurture the love you have,the moment you awake to the realisation the simple things in life answer your deepest needs.

I believe there is a continuation in life, that what we strive for is somehow carried forward in our children or those we have met, that nothing is wasted in life,nothing is ever truly lost.

That the real secret the real journey in our lives is the return to love and each experience of adversity gives us the opportunity to learn to love

Love is the only true healing balm apply is where necessary to oneself and others.
