The intent is a one-pointedness in our beliefs. Intent clarifies and energizes beliefs, giving them power and direction. The clear intent is one of the most powerful forces available to us.
Remember, beliefs are changeable just like sweaters or pants; what you have for dinner, words you place on paper, paint in a picture, notes in a melody, or whom you spend the day with.
Freeing ourselves from obsessive introspection allows for participatory relationships with others. We are now free to explore the moment. Free to explore the boundless, aware, energy around us.
When you are feeling trapped, take time to look within yourself. Observe the situations and circumstances of your everyday life. Discover the choices you have been making leading to these circumstances. Imagine the beliefs that are guiding those types of choices.
Life is a series of choices. The key to feeling free is in recognizing these daily choices as truly choices, and not obligations or demands. We create our daily reality as we consciously and unconsciously make both small and large choices.
